My recent articles are all about Bit Civilization, especially three zooming in super artificial intelligence:
Can Bitcoin possibly become the Skynet of human civilization? Will Bitcoin become Multivac? Bitcoin and The Last Question. Combining some concepts in science fiction with Bitcoin, I believe crypto world is the soil for the evolution of AI because blockchain system of open source provides a steady stream of data.
In crypto world, date is extremely valuable since it’s open and transparent, and anyone has access to it, enabling AI to evolve in a fast speed.
Today, I’ll talk about
Machine Trust. It accelerated the appearance of Bit Civilization.
So what’s
Machine Trust?
In my opinion, as the global consensus of Bitcoin goes on strengthening, the current human civilization system will be formatted by Bit Civilization gradually and move toward a higher level. When the encrypted world gains larger popularity in human society, all human behaviors can be recorded on a transparent blockchain in the form of data.
In this way, humans can rely on codes, algorithms, rules, and contracts to realize the exchange and transmission of data and at last, the circulation of value.All that is based on mathematical algorithm.
Thereof substantially humans are mechanized and digitized, Machine Trust erected, taking the place of affection trust.When Machine Trust is established, everyone must act in accordance with the rules of the algorithm to make real freedom, fairness, equality and transparency come true, which is equivalent to building a brand new digital Bit world based on Machine Trust outside physical world. Based on that, Bit Civilization will be delivered.
With the help of blockchain, human beings, Carbon-based life forms who once lived in the physical world composed of atoms, have come to the digital world constructed by Silicon-based lives. Science fiction has become reality. In crypto world, humans can interact and interoperate with AI since shared language and standard symbol are created.
Value circulation and exchange among humans and machines is feasible, during which token acts as the vehicle.There’re some research about Tokenless Blockchain, trying to set up a value circulation structure free from the support of token but turned out to be in vain because token is the vehicle of value and soul of blockchain. Token is the best practice in blockchain ever, the major carrier for humans’ entering machine civilization, the most important protocol and data vehicle of the communication between humans and machines in smart network. To transform business and trade of humans into data and value in blockchain requires computer operation.
Token is the intermediary of that operation and Bitcoin is the final ledger containing all business data of human civilization.
Civilization is destined to go higher, to embrace new rules. When Machine Trust shows up, human beings will be integrated into the governance of algorithms, and a large number of mainstream people will devote themselves to the construction of the virtual digital universe to create a belief system that can stand the test of time. That's the necessary path to a new human civilization.
In the past, consensus, trust and rules are all formulated by violence. Yet in the digital realm of Bit Civilization, violence will lose its strength and be replaced by mathematics, by algorithm, by the consensus mechanism brought by blockchain and distributed data and hashrate.
The more independent, separated and decentralized the hashate is, the more reliable the system can be.When the Genesis Block was dug up by Satoshi Nakamoto, a new civilization on the basis of Machine Trust was born. Our current crypto world is the prototype of this new civilization.
Crypto world is overwhelming the old civilization thereof to set up a new civilization called Silicon-based civilization, machine civilization, digital civilization or Bit Civilization. That is the first civilization that can improve itself exponentially. It may take hundreds of millions of years for Carbon-based civilization to make progress like that, but for Silicon-based one, several seconds would be enough.
Silicon-based life forms render it possible for human civilization to go beyond the earth and rise to become cosmic civilization in its real meaning and then grow to be the Milky Way civilization able to communicate with lives from other planets.
