There is no minimum requirement for being taken seriously.

Makes sense. Super cheap / free energy source with oil & gas, sufficient capital to buy a ton of ASICs, moving away from USD & Swift, the list goes on.

The hashwar is a peaceful war

EMP is cheaper, and politically a much safer option.

Not just plausible, but probable. Power seeks after power. It's almost a rule.

Money is power. Bitcoin is better money.
