you can fund a war with bitcoin. think about this potential issue:

bitcoin wins and becomes global standard.

gov adopt bitcoin

deflation begins and technology does it's thing.

weapons are now 1/20th the price.

killing is now 1/20 the cost of when on a dollar standard.

scary...

you have to rob people to fund wars! they don't want to pay for them

so, no, the whole benefit of a hard currency is EXACTLY that it is more expensive to rob people

gold, bitcoin, same

if the money is relatively stable against other commodities, it's harder to debase, and debasement is a cheap way of robbing people without them realising, just ask every empire in recorded history

if you count taxing as robbing, then sure.

if not, no. you can absolutely pay for war without debasing money.

many people will pay for war if told to do so and are scared. kamala has 54% right now. she is absolutely pro war.

they have forever and always will.

of course i count taxing as robbing

but the whole point is you can't hide the theft inside the money

kamala is a very skillful liar, really good at spouting bullshit

who cares, stop living in the city where their budget for squashing dissent is most effective

👊

Never lived in a city, never saw the point.
