You base this on commodity nature of bitcoin. I don't think it's the case any more. Majority of bitcoin has been mined or lost. War for this scarce resource doesn't make sense. It's no longer a commodity to be mined. And you can't sieze the existing bitcoin by force. By war.
nostr:nprofile1qqspfdl3hkjwvnunzds5tcnz98zqdlgmvrc0q9vwwj3k7sxplawhzugpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0thw8gp All the rumors about Golden Ruble, Golden Juan, Golden whatever... are a result of the need of BRICS countries to clear transactions between each other. They don't trust each other enough to use their own currency (there is no guarantee one of them will not print more than what was agreed). I believe they will sooner or later start clearing in Bitcoin. Once this happens there will be an enormous fight against Bitcoin. It can be done virtually in the cyberspace, but it can easily spill into a real conflict with real victims... If Bitcoin survives that then it will win.
But will it bring peace? I don't think so. Same guns don't shoot people, currencies don't start wars.
Discussion
I don't expect a war for Bitcoin, I expect a war against it. Essentially trying to scare countries and individuals from using it, holding it.
I see it as the last test before a worldwide adoption.
I might be wrong. I actually hope to be wrong.
That war has already started. They figured that they can't stop it. So they decided to corrupt it. KYC, war against privacy tools (like coinjoin) etc.
we are in the "then they fight you" stage.
Yes, but the states still auction BTC off instead of burning it like ivory or cocaine. This phase is the antebellum for the war on Bitcoin.
It would make bitcoin even more scarce and valuable. And they want the liquidity for their stupid projects.
Yeah of course. I wanted to illustrate that they don't see it as something inherently bad... They still auction it off, but they burn cocaine. The war on Bitcoin is not fully on just yet.
