With Bitcoin we are witnessing the arising of the sacred in our desacralized world.
The magnetic pull it exerts upon our minds is astounding.
The blockchain is the sacred pillar found in so many ancient people and traditions, the axis mundi!
It transform the chaos into cosmos; by sha256 algorithm imposes order upon unruly electrons!
Its loaded with patterns our ancestors understood as sacred!
It even follows the creation myth found at many people. The creator god Satoshi created the ‘world’ of ‘Bitcoin’ with it rules, occupations and so on - the creator god departs from world :
“The phenomenon of the remoteness of the supreme god is already documented on the archaic levels of culture. Among the Australian Kulin, the supreme being Bunjil himself created the universe, animals, trees, and man; but after investing his son with power over the earth and his daughter with power over the sky, Bunjil
withdrew from the world.”
“
The Dweller in the Sky or He Who Is in the Sky of the Selk’nam is eternal, omniscient,all-powerful, thecreator; but the Creation was finished by the mythical
ancestors, who had also been made by the supreme god before he withdrew to a place above the stars. For nowthis god has isolated himself from men,is indifferent to the affairs of the world. He has neither images nor priests. Prayers are addressed to him only in case of
sickness. “ Thou who art above, take not my child; he is still too young!” Offerings are rarely made to him except during storms.”
