BITCOIN VS HUMAN INFLUENCE.

[ColdLava40]

Pause a bit and take a look at this topic ; BITCOIN VS HUMAN INFLUENCE.
  This are two entity with different meaning . Firstly Bitcoin is a  cryptocurrency designed to act as money and as a form of payment outside the control of any one person, group, or entity. Bitcoin is widely used round the whole world . But the question that should come to your mind is ; Can Bitcoin go round the whole world without human influence . Human as power to move things and dominate things . The idea of Bitcoin will not even exist if it was not by human influence , remove Human influence and definitely Bitcoin will be affected . It can’t move on it own unless a human act upon it ( just like First law of newton). Everything will remain useless until human beings use it , hope you get it

What your view on this ; Can Bitcoin function without human influence ?

Technology today can survive a very long time without the help of humans. They are going fully automated,they can function very well on their own. Bitcoin system can and is already working without much use of Human efforts.

You don't have to sit at your computer all day trying to mine bitcoin, machines are designed to do such task, why you take the rewards.

I feel the only thing most modern technology would need from humans might be maintenance as over time they might need updating or replacement of hardware components.

That's  a fundamental misunderstanding of what 'the system' even is. You're confusing the protocol's execution loop - validating transactions, building blocks -with the entire ecosystem that makes it possible. My node will process blocks automatically, sure.

But who do you think wrote the Bitcoin Core client? Who maintains it? When a vulnerability like the 2018 inflation bug (CVE-2018-17144) was discovered, did the 'machines' patch themselves?

No. A handful of developers had to secretly coordinate a fix and get it rolled out before it could be exploited to print infinite bitcoin.

Your statement implies the software and hardware are static things that just need occasional 'maintenance' like changing the oil in a car, which is just flat-out wrong. The environment is actively hostile.

There may be constant attempts to attack the network, both at the protocol level and at the infrastructure level.

Plus, there are ongoing debates I'm following about what opcodes to enable or disable. The P2P layer needs work. My wallet software needs updates to support new standards like Taproot.

Saying it's 'fully automated' ignores the thousands of my and other devs' human hours spent on development, review, testing, and deployment that keep the network secure and functional.

The protocol is an abstract set of rules; the implementation is a living software project that would rot without my constant effort and the effort of others.

Basically, bitcoin is not a stand alone thing. Even when it's operated digitally, it won't exist without the influence of human (electricity, internet, mining machine, etc). It's all linking each other like a chain activity. So bitcoin won't exist without human's influence. in short, bitcoin is 100% reliance upon the human influence.

Let's imagine if there's no human who operated the powerplan, can miner run bitcoin network? It's obviously no. So human influence is the reason why it's exist now.

BTC was created for the people by the people.

So I agree that it's obvious that - what's the point if there is nobody to use it?

What your view on this ; Can Bitcoin function without human influence ?

I remember one of the books I once read one of the sources was entitled "Bitcoin vs Human Influence".
Where it states:

The battle between Bitcoin and human influence is a dynamic between rigid decentralized technology (algorithms) and human emotional/policy behavior (sentiment). Bitcoin is designed to withstand human influence, but its price is driven heavily by human actions.

In the quote above, I can conclude.
Bitcoin is not affected, but humans can do Market Sentiment & Psychology, News & Regulation, Market Manipulation or in other cases humans can only do it as a driving Institution, as you do today using exchanges, wallets, transactions, trading, mining and so on, that is the basis of Bitcoin and human influence historically.

If it was possible to kill Bitcoin, it was dead many years ago when it was younger, less matured, weaker than now and more sensitive to death. Now, it's a little bit more than 17 years since Bitcoin Genesis Block and Bitcoin blockchain, network and market have all become much stronger and bigger than in earliest years. If Bitcoin was not killed in its earliest years, it won't be killed in the future.

17 years are long time enough for proving that Bitcoin strong survivalability comes from its true strength which is a foundation for its success and survival in the future against any centralized attempts to attack, kill or censor it.

No, it cant function.
Bitcoin can not function without human influence, and the same thing applies to everything we have on earth because they were implemented, created, and also come into existence for the use case of humans, not animals. Therefore, if the influence of humans is removed in every setting and innovation created, then specific goal achievement is also removed.

BTC is intended to be used, so, I agree with this take.

What is BTC without those that use it?

It is technically nothing because it fundamentally depends on human and blockchain involvement for it to remain operational, secure, and useful ^{(because if there are no miners, how can it operate, secure, and useful as a currency and asset)}.

This reminds me of years ago when Roger Ver created Bitcoin Cash (with the support of Bitmain mining firm ) and created a huge campaign among miners with the concept that BTC is not the real Bitcoin. This makes some miners stop mining BTC while mining Bitcoin Gold until time proves BTC to be the main event and all the fork coins to be shitcoin.
What i am trying to say is that if humans stop mining BTC due to energy costs, regulations, disinterest, or whatever the reason may be, the BTC network would either downtrend or halt ^{(depending on the situation).}

Bitcoin's use is partly human operative and the rest transactions runs independently. Bitcoin would need humans for activities on its block chain which includes buying and selling, that explains the importance of humans to bitcoin.

Bitcoin was created by humans, bitcoin miners run nodes to keep bitcoin running actively until it is functionally operative so bitcoin would be affected operationally without the existence of humans.

BTC was created for the people by the people.

So I agree that it's obvious that - what's the point if there is nobody to use it?

Then it will become extinct if nobody uses it anymore.

Because it's for the people and made by us, the importance that there are users of it is why it is there for us to benefit from it.

By having no people that have helped in its growth, we know that it will be here where it is right now.

I don't really understand what you mean by Bitcoin and human influence. You have exercised your thought about how Bitcoin is being influenced by humans and if not for humans the adoption of Bitcoin would have not gone high.
I will like to ask you if Bitcoin is created for humans' interaction or for some aliens that will soon dominate the world in years coming because you are not writing like someone that really understands the Bitcoin white paper which I would like you to read and have better understanding about why Bitcoin was created.

That's a very dumb question for anyone to ask. Bitcoin is not something of nature which was here before humans came to existence. Bitcoin was created by humans for the purpose of making payment easy for humans without human being is then the purpose which it was created for won't be achieved, and we all should already know this it.

Bitcoin was created by humans, bitcoin miners run nodes to keep bitcoin running actively until it is functionally operative so bitcoin would be affected operationally without the existence of humans.

Inasmuch as the rules are pretty much enforced independently by codes, it still requires human involvement. The only reason the system is functioning is because humans continue to opt in. There are several ways that humans contribute to the system and without these contributions, Bitcoin wouldn’t be what we know it to be today. There’s miners and node operators who helps to maintain consensus, and then we have the developers who help to improve and maintain the software, and then we have the end users who gives helps to give Bitcoin more economic relevance by using it as money and as an investment. If all these human involvements eventually cease one day, the system would definitely remain idle. So inasmuch as bitcoin isn’t controlled by an entity or a group of entities, it still pretty much needs human involvement to effectively operate the system, sustain and give more value to the network.

If bitcoin existence has nothing to do with human and it just exist on it own, then bitcoin can function without human. But since itvwad created by human, their role human need to play for it to function.

That's exactly my point. Bitcoin is man made and it cant function without the existence of man but this doesn't mean it is control by Man. It is made to function via the role man has to play in its network.

Not entirely true, technology are kept maintained by humans.  Even AI technology that is known to evolve while being used is maintained by humans.  If technology is left as it is, there will be no development or upgrade on that technology, remember, technology are not self-upgrading.

You don't have to sit at your computer all day trying to mine bitcoin, machines are designed to do such task, why you take the rewards.

But still you need to maintain it from time to time, you will never see any Bitcoin mining farm that is not maintained by humans.

I feel the only thing most modern technology would need from humans might be maintenance as over time they might need updating or replacement of hardware components.

See even this statement shows that Human still has influence on everything artificial (Man-made).

Bitcoin is money based on social consensus and backed by energy.Bitcoin cannot function without human influence and the people who use it and run the nodes.But since money is something everyone needs, and Bitcoin is the best form of money humans have ever used, there’s no need to worry. More and more people will understand it and want to use it

Surely, people will always want to be a part of Bitcoin growth, because people wants nothing but what will give them the capacity of being financially stable, which they will do whatever thing it takes just to make sure that Bitcoin attain to the levels they want and the exciting part of it, its that the government can not be in charge of their funds, which is the one reason that adoption of Bitcoin will continue to grow, which will be a benefit to everyone who choose Bitcoin as the best form of money making.

[Loyang]

Every thing is related to each other. You are comparing Bitcoin, if everyone stops using money, then money will have no value. We will never be able to think about one thing or be able to move forward depending on one thing.

We need to focus on buying Bitcoin instead of thinking about our thoughts about Bitcoin. The formation of this thought within us and the loss of faith in our Bitcoin are almost the same. Keep yourself away from all these thoughts and always think of something good.

[CryptoYar]

Yes when everybody stops to mine, or to believe in its value, bitcoin would simply be useless code on hard disk. But we now are entering a new phase of Autonomous Finance where AI programs and machines can send Bitcoin without human help other than button press.  As much as humans supply electricity and belief that keeps the network running, with start of AI Autonomous Agents, system will begin to act on its own, and may last longer than humans can maintain control over it, becoming common language among machines.  And I think human beings are at center of system but code aims to be as neutral and un human as possible so that it can allow fairness to all. So look at the Bitcoin Node Map to understand point of human control at its highest point currently.

With magic parabolic growth of Bitcoin since 2009, it has gone a very long way of growth to success and what it has achieved so far is a solid foundation for its bright and bullish future. I really can not think of any future when Bitcoin will die like Bitcoin miners stop mining and Bitcoin blockchain becomes a dead chain or when nobody want to use Bitcoin blockchain - no demand on Bitcoin on chain transactions.

Bitcoin has already gone through its hardest earliest years after that it has a more easily future of further growth. This book has insightful vision on Bitcoin future: The bullish case for Bitcoin.

Yes, Bitcoin is a valuable coin that can be very profitable if invested wisely and on time. But it is a creation of humans. If humans had not created the algorithm of this coin, it would not have existed. So although it is a valuable coin but not before people because people are able to create coins with the same impact as Bitcoin if they want but Bitcoin is not for people.
