Ok this feels like a trollish question, but I'm going to ask it just the same.

Why does the consensus here seem to believe Bitcoin will end war?

Bitcoin is great. It is good to have a truly hard currency not one constantly devalued by inflation and usury. I like it, don't get me wrong.

But wars were happening long before the federal reserve was a thing. Wars were happening long before any of the current nation states were things. War is, I believe, part of our nature.

We all need things to live what we believe is our best life. Food, water, land, whatever. No currency needs to exist for me to want something that is yours, and reach out to try and take it.

Did you grow up with siblings? Did you have a rival group in high school? Ever been in a bar fight? Have you had to competitively bid for work that you need for your business to survive? Then you know individually the feelings that, writ large, create war. Scarce resources beget incentives for nasty behavior.

War is stupid, terrible, and there is no good war. I hope the current wars end as quickly as possible. But I don't really understand how you think Bitcoin will fix this.
