Marcus Tullius Cicero: 'The sinews of war are infinite money.' This was said more than 2000 years ago by maybe the greatest statesman of humanity. Don’t confuse credit out of thin air with hard money. Statism is a cuck disease, and you seem to be spreading it – to my utter surprise.

nope
Inflation, which was already prevalent in the later stages of republican era when Cicero was around, eventually killed Rome in the next few hundred years. Chipping away coins, minting by mixing with other metals was common when the state needed to raise money without raising taxes on its citizens.
Do you not agree that centrally planned credit expansion facilitates financing for endless wars much more effectively than hard money standard would allow? Let’s not concentrate on outliers that are statistically irrelevant but try to remain objective in the assessment we’re putting forth.

yes but it doesnt end war, just forces efficiency in conducting them
especially if the target is rich in resources and bitcoin
If you ignore scale and your definition of war shrinks to the level of homicide then sure it won't end.
