Our latest example is Iran, and military action is sure to follow unless the bond market does what I am praying it should, and forces the US government to shrivel up and die

It's a long way to death from a bond market crash, and that historically acts as a trigger for war rather than prevention. Thankfully, it also signifies completion of a cycle and the failure of whatever dominant power is struggling to maintain its relevance.

Other than that part, I agree wholeheartedly. Bitcoin is like the transition from wind to coal to oil-based power sources, making a lot of traditional systems break due to incompatibility.
