Bitcoin is the quintessence of all human knowledge gathered together.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

That would be pretty sad that this is the amalgamation of human knowledge, that bitcoin is our peak, how about our knowledge of space, black holes, dark amtter, anti-matter or the nuclear bomb? Those are civilization changing discoveries and inventions. Bitcoin is good but don't say that it's the peak of humanity, can bitcoin cure cancer or HIV AIDS? I don't think so.

So, what OP is basically saying is that bitcoin is the best that we can do? That's just pathetic if you think about it because that means we aren't going to do any greater feats besides bitcoin.

the OP is rather new, in the exciting new find [for him] phase. we all had that initially
the thing is that his methods of announcing the wonders he recently found is that he doesnt realise he is posting it on a forum where people have already found it too..
its like advertising ice to eskimos. teaching a lifelong fisherman what a fish is

hint is that everyone reading it probably already knows more then he knows already.
he doesnt seem to please with people updating the subtle inaccuracies he makes. and prefers to brush it off with things like 'im explaining things from a different prospective'

agree with what you conclude that bitcoin is the essence of all human beings who want progress in the field of technology and the technology offered is a very helpful product in the future, and everything is made easier,

but until now the market acceptance of bitcoin is still limited to investment assets. we haven't reached bitcoin as a real transaction tool.
we know a lot of people who have bitcoin because of its expensive value. so keep it as an investment asset. while cryptocurrency is an alternative means of payment in the future.

You know, some people say.... "You do not need to know how something work... to be able to use it" .... I say, Fck that!..... I have a inquisitive mind and I am always curious to know how things work. Bitcoin to me in the beginning....total Mind fck!... I absorbed information about it like a sponge! (I could not get enough of it.... it was like a drug... and I became a junkie)

Things work so much better when you figured out how it works on the inside.... Now you can troubleshoot.. improve.. give help to other people and you feel like the expert in the field. (Well, until the others catch up)

In your eyes, what do you think of Bitcoin? What changes does Bitcoin bring to your work or life?

for me bitcoin is like a shortcut. with bitcoin I have a good chance of being able to make a profit faster than my normal job. In the crypto ecosystem in general, I have the opportunity to get a lucrative side job, I can write articles related to crypto and join bounties, trade, and occasionally join airdrops to fill my spare time. because crypto is full of surprises, I'm often lucky to get airdrops that turn out to be worth more than I imagined. Of course there are bitter things, often trapped in scams, losing money when trading, that's a natural thing, doesn't everything have risks?

I also agree with your opinion, every essence released by humans must want progress in their respective fields, bitcoin is also the essence of all human knowledge, maybe the emergence of bitcoin is the result of the essence of some geniuses, satoshi may have some friends who helped him to create their bitcoins,

Thank you for your question and answer, and I have been reading your reply posts. Through your reply, I can see that you are a very professional person in Bitcoin technology, from which I have also learned a lot of knowledge. As you said here, many times I think about problems from different angles. You also said that there is a lot of knowledge about Bitcoin, there are already many experts in this forum, and everyone has discussed it many times. However, we can also find that the most discussion about Bitcoin is the technical field or the currency field. I think the knowledge contained in Bitcoin is not only related to technology, but also related to economics, accounting, law, sociology, physics, game theory, logic, mathematics, and computer science. Satoshi Nakamoto merged the top knowledge of these different disciplines to create Bitcoin. This is the most basic point I want to express. I just extract this knowledge separately and share it with everyone. In my opinion, Bitcoin is definitely not just a technology or a currency. More importantly, it is the ideas and concepts behind Bitcoin.

That would be pretty sad that this is the amalgamation of human knowledge, that bitcoin is our peak, how about our knowledge of space, black holes, dark amtter, anti-matter or the nuclear bomb? Those are civilization changing discoveries and inventions. Bitcoin is good but don't say that it's the peak of humanity, can bitcoin cure cancer or HIV AIDS? I don't think so.

thank you for your reply. I also understand what you mean. What I want to express here is that Satoshi Nakamoto combined the top knowledge of different disciplines to create Bitcoin. However, I do not deny that other technologies created by human society have brought tremendous progress to human civilization. The overall progress of science and technology has promoted the prosperity and development of human civilization. However, in our current era, there has never been a technology that can change all aspects of human civilization like Bitcoin. At the same time, we now only see the changes in the past 12 years. Perhaps in the next two decades, Bitcoin will bring greater changes to human civilization.

bitcoin is the quintessence of ~1% of all computer knowledge..
               - you dont need to know all of the hundreds of different cryptographies to understand bitcoin
               - you dont need to know all programming languages to understand bitcoin
a car is the quintessence of ~5% of all engineering knowledge

biology, physics, chemistry is the quintessence of 33% each of everything

Most people don’t need to be a Bitcoin major or professor. I understand the author’s meaning. In fact, I just want to express: Satoshi Nakamoto has done a very great thing and is a top talent in various disciplines. Then Bitcoin has perfect Organizational structure and knowledge system. There is a hierarchical difference between human IQ and EQ. As ordinary people, we should understand the operating principles of Bitcoin and have certain beliefs. It is good to hold them for a long time.

I think bitcoin is a lot of things and would be kind of silly to consider it just one or two things to them, being that there are so may faucets of it. I discovered bitcoin sometime back in 2013 or 2014.  To me, as a financial advisor, bitcoin meant freedom. Working inside the financial industry I've gotten an inside glimpse as to how corrupt many institutions are especially the big banks.  Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo etc are constantly robbing it's own clients blind.  Bit represents a break from the banks, a break from the governments currency.  This is why I believe bitcoin needs to succeed as a  currency, despite others not feeling the same way.  Bitcoin is many things to me but above all, bitcoin is freedom.

[RainbowKun]

In the future, I will continue to share my understanding of Bitcoin, and I will summarize from the knowledge of different disciplines and from different dimensions of thinking. Discuss the essential properties of Bitcoin with everyone. There is no right or wrong point of view, as long as it can help each of us.

A very good thought, of course, it would be better if we judge all of this on the positive side and let it remain popular in its popularity because basically Bitcoin is really very useful for all of us and may be even more useful in the future. Bitcoin will continuously bring more people to add to their knowledge, also a very valuable experience, this is still like a big hope for humans of the financial side.

Yes, Bitcoin brings us not only wealth, but also endless knowledge and true freedom. Through continuous learning of Bitcoin, we can increase our knowledge, experience, and experience from different levels, and can continuously liberate our imprisoned thoughts and allow us to breathe the freshest air. When we get used to the fresh air of Bitcoin, we never want to return to the world full of filth.

Nope, I don't think so, I can probably name at least two that is going to be the representation human knowledge gathered together. Take for example, the International Space Station, that's a complex laboratory in space that is designed to survive the harsh environment of space, another one that I can think of is a nuclear reactor and in extension nuclear bombs. Bitcoin might be great but it's not going to be the peak of humans.

[Celin Kai]

Is your opinion extreme. Bitcoin is actually a digital currency.

Bitcoin is the first currency that can be paid using blockchain technology (blockchain network).

Thank you for your answer. The two examples you cite are indeed the pinnacle of human technology. However, in my opinion, it mainly involves technical fields and does not involve other fields. But Bitcoin involves the top knowledge of many human subjects. Computer technology, economics, monetary science, philosophy, law, sociology, anthropology, game theory, physics, etc. Bitcoin combines these knowledges together. This is why I say that Bitcoin will create a whole new human civilization.
