I don’t believe Bitcoin is a living system; my frame is that it is more fundamental than that. It functions as a fixed, globally shared digital‑physics substrate, a consensus model of time and state in computational space, around which users and their agents, and possibly future sovereign machines, coordinate, transact, and construct higher‑order digital institutions and, over time, a digital civilization. You can’t build reliable architectures on shifting sands.

Appreciate the perspective. I consider Bitcoin to be alive and thus able to change itself when under attack to thwart the attack. Death is failing to react to changing environments and circumstances.
