Had enough yet? Now to the enironment. This will be short-ish

When I was young my parents taught me “don’t hit girls, don’t abuse your strength, don’t be a bully, talk things out before you fight it out, ect.

Some Governments don’t talk. The one with the biggest and best arms wins. So if you have the power you don’t want to talk. Which one is worse for humans dying? Plugging in computers that run on electricity or wars?

I think war wins this one. Governments don’t just do things by themselves do they? They ask the people first right? I don’t personally know anyone that has ever wanted to bomb other countries willingly. Do you?

With all of this being said…. Gov need money to go to war. They have to pay soldiers, buy supplies, petrol, airplanes, bombs, ammo, helicopters, ships, submarines, fuel, build facilities in other countries so that means leasing land, buying backhoes, tractors, cranes, trucks, cars, humvees, translators, constructing runways, constructing housing, constructing office buildings, food, water… you understand that this list could go on and on and on.

All of this takes money. Where does the money come from? Your taxes.

Transacting in bitcoin does not have to incur a tax. Working for money which is called fiat (fiat just means fake money) can incur taxes that are used however the gov wants. I don’t personally disagree with that system. I just prefer to win bitcoin into a wallet that I control, free of taxes and goes up in value every 4 years. The last sentence is a mid-level bitcoin discussion. It will make sense as you study bitcoin more.

They could talk it out and come to agreement like some of us were taught when we were young. When you want to control the land, water, crops, minerals, and other resources, people and other governments you go into bully mode (war.) To quote one of the greats: “Bitcoin fixes this.” How? Because we aren’t feeding the system that extracts all of the resources and acquires more and more with our “human capital.”

There could be millions of computers running to keep the bitcoin Network alive, but it would not equal the manpower and machine power to get ready and go to war for 50,000 people, let alone 500,000 people. Not that the scale is one or other. Meaning war or bitcoin, but

it does sort of look that way doesn’t?
