In reality Bitcoin won’t end wars. That’s obvs. The people that literally mean that are wrong.

What bitcoin will do is take away the printing press that funds the current war machine.

It will take real money/real savings to fund a war on a bitcoin standard. If you then run out, it will take real effort/risk to plunder or steal somebody else’s wealth.

The current system there is no constraint except inflation and that is exported to the rest of the world so the US doesn’t feel the pain of their decisions.

I think the more correct idea is that bitcoin ends a small subsect of all total conflict that benefits from money printing and the monetary benefits of physically stealing stuff.

I think There also another interpretation that bitcoin is the new form of war. Its just a way to have the same function of securing what you own by non kinetic means

I never bought the idea of hash wars before but now can see a future in which it’s a real thing

I wish I understood it better. I feel like there's gonna be some 15 year old in 100 years thinking how did these idiots not understand hash wars
