hi everone, so if BTC was the currency of the world apart from dying fiat currencies, do you think wars could be ended? id like to think so as if every nation used BTC then we all use the same blood to supply our organs. what are your thoughts?

i believe so. Bitcoin could lead to the establishment of a truly free market society. in a truly free market society the cost of war would tend to be born by the persons seeking the war. Contrasted to a statist society where war-mongers can internalize the benifits of war upon themselves and their buddies and externalize the costs onto the wider population through the machinery of the state with inflation, debt and taxation.

also you are never going to end war while there are still nations. The only way bitcoin could save us from war is by ending the nation state entirely.
