Bitcoin is violence though. Thoroughly peaceful violence.

What is violence? Insistence and enforcement of your rules. Historically, the only way to enact this sort of violence was through aggression or kinetic force.

Bitcoin fixes this. Bitcoin makes peaceful violence possible. But nobody will see this because violence is now synonymous with evil or bad. But this is not (always) so.

agree to your rules and laws, Bitcoin.

But we will also have a rule for you. If something goes wrong, we'll just stop mining you, move you, and time will turn you into history... all fair?

I don’t fully understand…bitcoin is a way of enforcing the rules you want without having to kill people. It doesn’t make killing people impossible.

It is still difficult to translate words into thought from one language to another.

I'm still in search of a successful method of conveying meaning, in any language.

The first thing that comes to mind is an AI-generated picture.

Limited set of ideas can be transmitted non-verbally. See art, for example. But exploring the limits of non-verbal communication is a neat idea.
