The Tower of Babel is not just an old myth. It is a mirror of human nature. Every great human project becomes corrupted from within, twisted by pride and self interest until it collapses under its own weight. Bitcoin is no different. The seeds of Babel are already visible: disinformation pumped by influencers, cult like narratives that serve personal gain, and power games dressed up as ideology.

But the fact that creation is subjected to frustration does not mean it has no purpose. Bitcoin will not deliver utopia. No human system ever will. Yet it can still strike blows against the worst injustices of fiat money. It can limit the power of centralised authorities to debase currency, strip wealth, and enslave nations through debt. It is not salvation but it is resistance.

And just as Babel scattered into many tongues, we should expect rivals to emerge. Genuine altcoins such as Monero will contend with Bitcoin, not because truth is divided but because human striving inevitably produces multiplicity. That competition itself may be part of the antidote to tyranny.

The question is not whether Bitcoin can build a perfect tower to heaven. It cannot and it will not. The question is whether we will use it to confront evil and reduce injustice, or whether we will let pride rot it from the inside until it becomes another Babel, another monument to human folly.
