Money is the war right now, and I'm glad so many people are fighting for Bitcoin in that dimension.

As such, I can use Bitcoin as money and put my focus on the next war. When Bitcoin is global money, and all our enemies our conquered, who will be the first to use Bitcoin for the next war and what will that use look like? What will be the next evolutionary pressure that advances how we use an ossified Bitcoin?

Money has always been the war I think. Now it’s escalated because of the technology that we have now. Those that adopt bitcoin today will have significant edge over those that done, and especially for funding war, politics, etc. It’s going to be an interesting decade to say the least.

I agree with that. I just like to take it a step further, or a step back maybe, from money as a second order phenomen that exists on top of the first order phenomenon of physical watts and energy.

One of the problems we have is how to decide who owns what, who has control of what. The easy answer is to kill anyone who wants to own stuff so you can own it. But because that hampers cooperative civilization, we've learned to abstract violence into money. In short, without going into it, Bitcoin is a good money because it's a good substitute for violence. And that's the dimention I like to view it through because you can get a much broader picture of things.

Here here brother.
