The problem is, it's not true. Countries and tribes ha e had wars for millenia.
It requires citizen buy in, it doesn't stop war in any way.
Discussion
not entirely. but it means it will only happen with popular buy-in. war is expensive, unless it can be paid for with printed paper.
debasing currency is an essential tool for tyrants to fund mass murder
you can fund a war with bitcoin. think about this potential issue:
bitcoin wins and becomes global standard.
gov adopt bitcoin
deflation begins and technology does it's thing.
weapons are now 1/20th the price.
killing is now 1/20 the cost of when on a dollar standard.
scary...
you have to rob people to fund wars! they don't want to pay for them
so, no, the whole benefit of a hard currency is EXACTLY that it is more expensive to rob people
gold, bitcoin, same
if the money is relatively stable against other commodities, it's harder to debase, and debasement is a cheap way of robbing people without them realising, just ask every empire in recorded history
if you count taxing as robbing, then sure.
if not, no. you can absolutely pay for war without debasing money.
many people will pay for war if told to do so and are scared. kamala has 54% right now. she is absolutely pro war.
they have forever and always will.
of course i count taxing as robbing
but the whole point is you can't hide the theft inside the money
kamala is a very skillful liar, really good at spouting bullshit
who cares, stop living in the city where their budget for squashing dissent is most effective
👊
Never lived in a city, never saw the point.
Yes, that is correct.
There is nothing stopping a country from accumulating the spending their bitcoin on war, not raising money via war bonds.
You get it.
Sometimes people dont seem to understand this.
