🧵 1/ The three paradigms of trust: trust in people, trust in codes, and trust in time. This is the deep evolutionary track from the traditional Internet, smart contracts to Bitcoin, and is also the three paths for human society to build a trusted system. 👇 open: 2/ one ️⃣ Believer: You believe that platforms, organizations, or institutions do not do evil. It is commonly found on Weibo, Alipay and other Internet platforms. The problem is that people make mistakes, organizations become corrupt, and power centers can be hijacked or censored. 3/ two ️⃣ Code: Do you believe that formal systems can define rules and programs can automatically execute logic. Ethereum is representative. However, Turing complete systems bring complexity, vulnerabilities, and unpredictability, which still require human maintenance and upgrades. 4/ three ️⃣ Letter time: a paradigm created by Bitcoin. It doesn't trust anyone, nor does it trust code. But rather trust the irreversibility of time, establishing an immutable sequence of facts through proof of work and timestamps. 5/ Turing proposed the concept of "super poor iteration" in his doctoral thesis: Use ordinal numbers as coordinates to recursively advance the formal system infinitely. Bitcoin realistically simulates this logical structure through the generation of each new block. 6/ Nobel laureate Prigogin pointed out: 📌 Any theory that does not include time is a static approximation The real world is always in an irreversible thermodynamic diffusion. And this is precisely the physical foundation of Bitcoin's trust structure. 7/ Einstein also said in his later years: Time itself does not exist, only the law of thermodynamic diffusion exists So the time of Bitcoin is not clock time, but the evolutionary order of natural entropy increase. 8/ Taoism teaches about 'non action'. Turing said 'undecidable'. Bitcoin time is actually believing in 'nothing'—— An irreversible, unpredictable, yet real evolutionary process. An order that does not require human judgment. 9/ Prigogin once said that his theory of "dissipative structures" was inspired by Turing's conception of system evolution. Logic and physics intersect at one point: the design structure of Bitcoin. 10/ Comparison of three types of trust: Trust paradigm, trust objects, trust foundation, trust platform, organizational power+legal trust code, smart contract form, system rules trust time, Bitcoin thermodynamics+timestamp 11/ Bitcoin is about transferring trust from humans to code, Transferred to the natural irreversible process itself. It is not an ideal of decentralization, but a structural choice of real physics. 12/ ⏳ Time is the only immutable contract between us and the real world. 💡 And Bitcoin is the technical embodiment of this contract in the digital world.
