‘Sure, even authoritarian states can use Bitcoin. But they can’t print it, inflate it, or freeze it. That makes it dangerous - not just to their enemies, but to their own control.’

This is a bug not a feature if the inability to centralise spending power means the population can’t fund a military and gets invaded.

You are wrong that you need centralized military, as that is easily compromised. The only modern example of what does work is Switzerland right in the center of Europe never got invaded because they have militias (ordinary people part timing) that would snipe any invading general who dares to enter their country. America was supposed to be that way but failed at it

Texans are supposed to have regulated militias that would be well-funded if they didn't hand off their money and power to the compromised Federal government that left the borders wide open for four years
