Here is a reflection pulled from my old drawers on how humans always recycle the same archetypes (rebellion, gift of power, punishment, autonomy) to narrate new technologies. Crypto proves that Greek myths are timeless: tools change, stories remain.
1🌹 What if crypto was not born from Greek mythology... but unconsciously replayed the same archetypes? 🏛️🔥
Since always, technological revolutions reactivate old myths.
2🌹 Satoshi = Prometheus, The Titan who steals fire from the gods to give to humans. The fire, today? Cryptography. Monetary sovereignty. The end of the divine monopoly of central banks.
And like Prometheus, the rebel disappears… but the fire remains lit.
3🌹 The “modern gods”?
Central banks. States. Financial institutions. Zeus does not like to share his lightning, hence the regulations, prohibitions, media attacks.
The myth continues.
4🌹 Decentralization = the Greek city-states
Athens. Sparta. Corinth. Independent. Competing. Autonomous. No single empire.
A fragile balance… but free, Just like blockchains.
5🌹 Plato and the perfect Forms
Plato spoke of an ideal, unchanging reality.
The blockchain? A mathematical ledger, etched in code.
A truth validated by consensus rather than by authority.
6🌹 Aristotle would have loved HODL
Private property. Individual responsibility. Distrust of excessive centralized control.
Self-custody as a civic virtue.
7🌹 $BTC Bitcoin as civic religion
• Whitepaper = founding text
• Nodes = priests of consensus
• Halving = sacred ritual
• Forks = theological schisms
Even bull/bear cycles resemble myths of death and rebirth.
8🌹 And $DOGE in all this?
A little modern Hermès. Fast messenger. Ironic. Unpredictable. Or maybe a cute Cerberus guarding the wallets.
Because even myths need humor.
9🌹Crypto does not copy Greek mythology.
It proves that humans always tell the same stories when they touch on power, freedom, and money. Technologies change. The archetypes remain...
Humans always recreate the same myths when they "invent" something revolutionary.
Good evening 🥰
