Domesticated animals are pretty peaceful. Or are they just weak and ineffectual? The transition to a Bitcoin standard is going to get wild and I don't think most people are thinking about this. Bitcoins "coins" are just software abstractions which represent real world decentralized scarce resources. Because of this, it's going to cause real world decentralization of our current power hierarchies.

Domesticated animals lack the capacity for violence because it’s been bred and forced out of them.

Bitcoin isn’t the wild part. It will be the starved fiat slaves that will be wild. Domestic animals that are hungry become a lot less domestic over time. Less peaceful. Being more peaceful than them will enable you to resist them and show them a better way.

It's gonna be war.

It already is.

Do you think Bitcoiners are prepared?

Bitcoin is. Bitcoiners, maybe not.

How can bitcoin defend itself without bitcoiners?

Bitcoin only survives if there are people who believe in it, and are willing to fight.
