What can Bitcoin teach us about how to understand the world around us?
Bitcoin Worldview was a series of Zoom calls, where we started with the most basic things we can reasonably know. We examined how to build a solid worldview, block by block. The goal was to have your assumptions tested (verified) and to help others do the same in engaging conversations.
The last episode aired in December 2021. The project is on pause. It is not clear if it will ever be continued, but we enjoyed the ride!
If you want copies of the episodes, feel free to contact me (Agust Olafsson).
Topics
- Fixed truth – Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million. Does absolute and fixed truth exist?
- How do we know? – Bitcoin is a communication protocol of distributed decentralized databases. Bitcoin also has the slogan of “Don’t trust. Verify.” Is communication possible and how (if at all) can we trust the knowledge that we acquire through our senses?
- Math Behind the Matter – Those that dive into Bitcoin are usually surprised to discover how deep and far reaching implications it has on human life and environment. Bitcoin is software, information, math, and cryptology, and yet it is already starting to describe a new and updated physical future for human flourishing. Surprisingly, math is effective in describing and predicting developments in our physical world. Why is that? Why does nonmaterial math work in describing matter?
- Morality basis – Those convinced of Bitcoin claim it is better money. What is your basis for morality?
