Decades of psychological research on human aggression and violence have resulted in scientific definitions of these terms which aggression researchers agree upon. In psychology, aggression is defined asΒ βππβππ£πππΒ that isΒ πππ‘πππππ π‘π βπππΒ another person who isΒ πππ‘ππ£ππ‘ππ π‘π ππ£πππ π‘βππ‘ βπππβΒ (Allen & Anderson, 2017). Further, the scientific definition ofΒ violenceΒ is an extreme form of aggression that has severe physical harm as its goal, such as maiming or death (Anderson & Bushman, 2002). However, in everyday language we often conflate these terms and use them in a non-scientific manner. For instance, most people would describe a salesperson who tries really hard to sell you something asΒ ππππππ π ππ£πΒ or a really bad storm asΒ π£ππππππ‘. Neither of these descriptions fit the scientific definition of aggression or violence as the salesperson nor the stormΒ intendΒ harm. Therefore, bitcoin is not aggression or violence as bitcoin cannot have intentions (nor is it a behavior)βbitcoin is simply software.
