War and violence have been in a historical downtrend even before fiat and bitcoin as well. Humanity has been moving towards more peaceful conflict resolution systems for millennia. current armed conflicts, lasting decades are a consequence of fiat systems "protecting the economy" from any crisis at any cost, than war is just signed off as a crisis, instead of bad political work.
I disagree.
But I will say that it depends on what you mean by fix it. I think the use of violence will be attempted under a bitcoin standard. I also believe it will be proven VERY penalizing for the perpetrator.
Under a bitcoin standard the financial cost for wars is not as easily obfuscated.
Fiat protects the economy in times of crisis, war being a crisis, allowing for wars to last far beyond any ideological justification has degrated beyond public support, since objectives are not ever reached to completion.
Making it expensive is the fix. Its not about suddenly everyone forgets that violence is a thing.. it just makes sure that the incentives for violence are very small compared to peaceful conflict resolution, in the short and long terms.

is there a way for self custodial lightning to work if one of the parties is offline?
I want to pay for quality content, with bitcoin.
I want to spend frivolously with fiat.
Creators are not being orange pilled.
Valuable content is looking for an audience away from traditional social media.
We can help. With #nostr
Contact your favorite creators, the ones you spend the most time with and give them the chance to get to know #nostr and the alternative to social media slavedom.

C) Content creators as a whole are massive traffic generators for the network. And they are feeling the effects of centralized social media/monetization platforms. If we could bring more of these in, that would have a relevant impact
B) we need more Bitcoin native projects and service providers
We need all the other stuff to happen in nostr as well.. it takes time
Hey Joe, just leaving a comment here in case DMs don't work properly.
I'd really like the chance to read that paper.
Hopefully I see you around the conference this week
All the best
I agree in sentiment.
but I don't think this could have gone down any differently. there was no way the us government would do Bitcoin only reserves. it's the best strategy in the long run for the country and people. but not for politicians. realistically, it was never going to happen.
for the hopeful, game theory will create the incentives for other nations to create their own portfolio.
then, I think Pierre said it best

the fact that Varoufakis is not a bitcoiner is the evidence that ego is at play. he is so in love with his techno feudalism narrative he cannot see an alternative path
does this impact users with the app on sandboxed Google Play?
agreed. but how to distinguish between them? who's to say the people shouting for Ross's freedom are not also acting towards undermining those institutions as we know them? meanwhile, it doesn't do Ross any harm to have his plight made public, to get support from the community and putting the current administration under scrutiny.
point stands. If the cause is just, expressing your support for it and charging the institution doesn't look too different.
to charge the elect representative for the campaign promises he made and to express discontentment with the current system and its processes can look very similar of the cause is just.
be wary be wary,...
hahahahaha I knew something like this was coming... grifters gonna grift
