Bitcoin, the Faith That Became a New Star - What Do We Truly Believe?

The Changing World Today

The world we live in today has a completely different face compared to the past. Once, people looked at the stars to determine the direction of their lives, reflecting on the meaning of existence through nature and the universe. Starlight was not just an ornament in the sky but a guide connected to the trust within the human heart.

The Era of Robots and Numbers

However, instead of looking up at the sky now, we gaze into the charts on our screens. Instead of constellations, numbers and algorithms chart the course of our lives, and data and predictive models replace human decisions. This trend is not just a simple advancement of technology it is a story that rewrites what it means for humans to believe. What exactly do we believe in, and on what do we rely to live our lives?

Foundation of Trust in the Past

Trust in the past was based on scarcity and physical substance. Gold and currency built trust on tangible value, forming the foundation of an order that stabilized society. However, that order is now being dismantled. Blockchain, Bitcoin, artificial intelligence, and intangible assets create new value through 'coded trust' in the form of mathematics and algorithms. This value is unrelated to the physical, existing solely within human expectations and beliefs—in other words, it lives and moves within psychological signals.

The New Role of Bitcoin

The most iconic presence among them is Bitcoin. Beyond a simple digital asset, it has established itself as a pillar of international geopolitics. The United States, China, Russia, and various European countries closely monitor the flow of Bitcoin, attempting to tie it to their own financial sovereignty, and behind this lies a strategic maneuvering aimed at reshaping currency hegemony. While the national intentions to use it as an alternative to dollar dominance or as an unmonitored store of value are not overtly visible, they are certainly embedded within that flow.

Hidden Forces and Bitcoin

Moreover, the hidden powers surrounding Bitcoin — whale investors, sovereign wealth funds from certain countries, and groups of technological elites — are amplifying their influence amidst its volatility. They are moving with the intent to create cracks in the traditional financial order and lead a new one through Bitcoin. While they shout decentralization, ironically, the reality is that the extremely concentrated power of some groups dominates this ecosystem. It is a new form of authority disguised as anti-authority.

Investor's Impatience and Trust

And there are those who ride this wave. In the impatience of 'if you don't get in now, it'll be too late,' there are investors chasing Bitcoin, whose hearts are entrusted to the slope of the charts, worshiping 'rise,' not much different from humans who knelt before temples in the past. They predict the future through algorithms and view the movements of the market as oracles. Faith still exists, but the object of that faith has simply changed.

Questions for Our Trust

We must now ask the questions. What do I truly believe in? Does the current trust have substance, or is it yet another illusion? Is the future that data presents the real future, or is it a comforting mirage? These questions lead beyond mere intellectual inquiry to the deepest roots of human existence. Because in the end, we are beings that can only live by believing in something.

Reflection on the Meaning of Life

In the past, starlight served that role, and now numbers and algorithms have taken its place. However, what truly matters is whether it shines externally or deep within ourselves. We must seek the 'real stars' once again. Rather than losing our way fixated on the imaginary constellations of charts and data, we should revisit the small, quiet light that lies hidden within.

Continuous Questions of Human Essence

Technology has advanced, but the essence of humanity still poses questions. Questions like 'Where am I going?', 'What do I believe in?', 'What values am I following?' serve as our compass. Rather than facing this era of change with fear, I hope you see it as an opportunity to understand more deeply and to redefine anew.

The process of finding a true star

The moment we ask again, the real star will start to shine within us. And that star will always lead us on our path.
