Bitcoin's are totally useless once you have a state of WAR!
...continued from my previous post from heated/fun debate about Bitcoin with a friend who is well and good in the current economic system...
The point my friend is making (and quite convincingly if I do say so myself) is that the current system cannot be taken/viewed from an extremist's point of view and simply written off as "evil". Our current system is here, and it is working. The main fault with it, in his view, is that it can be used to create wars to eliminate unwanted and unfriendly (non)participants of the current system. Once that takes place, you have only participating players left, making the current system... well... "The current system!"
In order for Bitcoin to succeed, it has to topple, beat, replace, compete with the current system which is really good for WARS! And, my friend suggests, Bitcoin will not succeed because:
Bitcoin's are totally useless once you have a state of WAR!
What do you think? Where is he right/wrong?
