Can we really compare Bitcoin to nature?
We've never had anything (even in nature) that is truely scarce until bitcoin. Even with endangered species, it is still possible to produce more. And another problem is everything in nature has a shelf life, bitcoin doesn't.
Playing devil's advocate... asteroid hits and resets humanity, or evolves it to something new. Then, could we say that a shelf life of an original form can exist?
What exactly are you referring to when you say "an original form"?
Original human, Bitcoin, or whatever goes instinct or, if a small percentage survives, it evolves to adapt to its new environment
that can be the case yes, w softforks, the base version should be still retrievable.. i think.. there's many people that stopped updating bitcoin core after v17 or so..
this also made me think, what if only one laptop survives that is running a hardfork.. we'll never know if someone alive around that time would ever be able to understand what's going on or to get to prior code or not..
Reminds me of the golden records in space. Imagine cavemen using that hard plastic device to hunt for food instead. ๐
What about Dino fossils?
i dont know, good one, maybe they already tried replicating from dino fossil dna, imma ask chatgpt
nostr:npub1sexdqhhakdg8ee3vsrkjssqyvwx7nvh3g6gammc3x5747nfpn2kscqc9j0 hello ava, can you find any research papers from google scholar or research gate on scientific studies or experiments where they try give life to extinct animals and/or dinosaurs? and is it possible to replicate life forms from dna fossils? please keep your response compact.
