The idea of Bitcoin has never been that it makes violence against others impossible. It simply makes it way more economically costly to do so.
The people who would violently capture private, productive individuals and infrastructure and use it for unproductive war against a perceived enemy will always lose. Right now, we have a monetary system which structurally supports those actions and makes it economically beneficial to partake in them.
If we can remove that, then the scale that violence can be committed on decreases greatly, and the rational behind it makes much less sense. I understand that most people can be easily manipulated by fear or propaganda, but the vast majority of humans don’t desire violent conflict with one another. If it wasn’t for the caress of phony economics which makes the whole violent interaction seem voluntary, it would be much easier to see it for what it truly is.
If you don’t have a belief that humans who understand the truth of their actions and have moral and economic frameworks which make harmful actions unpalatable will stop engaging in them, then you simply don’t believe that we have the ability to reach higher states as a civilization.
