I do not see how bitcoin sucks the soul out of violence. If anything it would spark more

Bitcoin is the convergence of energy and money. To say that whoever has the cheapest and most abundant energy is at an advantage is putting it lightly.
Large scale wars are already waged over energy resources. When the need for energy is literally tied to your economic standing in the world then I donât see a situation where war isnât a likely outcome.
And thatâs only the energy side of things. This doesnât even mention the need for hardware to mine which is another industry that seems prone to conflict already.
An interesting point, I will have to spend some more time thinking through this I think.
My knee jerk rebuttal is that todayâs wars over energy resources are not limited by the fighting governmentsâ ability to afford them nor their ability to convince their subjects to help pay for them.
They are paid for via the non-consensual, and mostly inconspicuous debasement of the entire savings base of the population.
I think itâs hard to argue that bitcoin wouldnât at the very least move us closer to the âfixes thisâ end of this particular spectrum. Would you at least agree with that?
Yes, governments may become more desperate and bloodthirsty for cheap and abundant energy, but I still think weâre in a better spot if they are limited in their capacity to steal it.

In order for bitcoin to end wars youâd need global cooperation which is almost a zero percent chance and if there was global cooperation then we are one step closer to a one world government.
Every new leap in technology further enslaves humans. Bitcoin would be no different.
Agree. Sometimes it feels like bitcoin people will say any bullshit if its in favor of bitcoin.
