People think Bitcoin eliminates war by defunding and demonetizing the profit it brings. Maybe.

War today is more or less the only forcing function driving basic competency in the funding and development of advanced technology, whereas under capitalism, there will be a vastly superior forcing function, obsoleting this value.

War is true competition. Competition drives innovation and makes life better for those that survive.

Under communism, the state has a monopoly on participating in competition

Communism... the best way to lose weight... down to 0 lbs.

Deflation makes war obsolete

What do you mean by this? Bitcoin is not deflationary, it has a fixed supply. Do you mean technological deflation? If so, I have put together a website that clearly shows why you are wrong for stupendous growth and progress has occurred in the past half century. https://civilizationmetrics.org

#bitcoin is deflationary because people die/lose their bitcoin shrinking your “fixed supply.”

Deflation will lead to massively smaller populations. War fare will become more tribal and smaller scale.

And yes deflation caused by technological advancement will lead to the inevitable end of global warfare. Not saying that will happen in the next 100-200 years but it is inevitable.

War in a deflationary environment will only accelerate this inevitable conclusion. After the population reaches new lows and only the strong and/smart survive they can use all the science war brought to explore the stars and the depths of the ocean more.

You might have just answered the question: "WAR what is it good for" sadly the answer is continued human progress

Yes but only to a point. Once a certain technological threshold is reached it becomes a waste of time and energy. I mean just imagine what effects fusion energy will have. No more wars over oil or land

You're limiting your scope to classic kinetic warfare. Fifth generation warfare spans information, technology, industry, finance, and much more. Earth is a battle field, and sadly not just a place for ice cream and handjobs

NOSTR fixes all of that

That's why I'm here

Just wait until instructions on how to 3d print missiles hits NOSTR

Spoken like Tyler Durden himself

Every single border that exists, exists because of war or a natural border that keeps people separated. Bitcoin brings people together.

No it doesn't lol. It will lead to more people spreading out and more individualism
