Bitcoin is a human action synchronization mechanism waiting to be used.
Legacy date/time systems are experienced by only a portion of humanity at one time, separated by time zones. Bitcoin blocks are experienced simultaneously across the entire globe.
Bitcoin blocks are randomly timed one to the next, but over a long timeframe are reliably close to 10 minutes on average, allowing for remarkably accurate future estimation.
The moment a specific block is found, everyone in the world with a node finds out in unison. This is available to be used as a “starter’s gun” to any coordinated human activity.
This promises to be a powerful tool in the future for humanity to synchronize for any purpose.
What is the most important use case for this mechanism? What could humanity do with this that was never possible before?
