I am busy reading a book, called
Humans, Bow Down written by James Patterson, Emily Raymond and Jill Dembowski.
Plot Summary : In a world run by machines, humans are an endangered species. The Great War is over. The robots have
won.
Now, usually I am not bothered with futuristic science fiction books, but everything Patterson must be good, so I
started reading it.
This got me thinking, What IF, artificial intelligence managed to take over the world, like the robots in this book. Would a
electronic cash systems, like Bitcoin and other Crypto currencies, not make it easier for these robots to control the worlds
financial systems? What counter measures do we have, built into the protocol, to prevent this? Or, would we have to resort
back to the Fiat {Cash} system to take back the control? Simply switching off the power will not solve the problem, so we
will have to find other methods to protect our wealth. {This will be a bigger problem for centralized financial networks}
So how would you stop AI controlled robots or even humans with evil intent, to take full control over the Bitcoin network?
Let's see what you can come up with this one.
