Do you think that the adoption of Bitcoin in poor countries as a means of payment can be a source of conflict
I asked this question because many poor countries believe they are in democracy and enjoy freedom. However, the reality is that there is still some form of domination by former colonial powers. They are free on paper, but not financially. That’s why I wonder if one day one of these countries decides to adopt Bitcoin as a means of payment and whether this could lead to conflicts.
Adopting Bitcoin could offer several advantages, such as increased financial inclusion, reduced transaction costs, and protection against inflation. However, these benefits may also raise tensions with established financial systems and governments.
Do you think a poor country will experience peace if it makes such a decision?
Being afraid of "colonial powers" in 2024 to meddle with you isn't really that easy to handle. Look at El Salvador, they tried to talk about Bukele like he is a maniac, but in reality he did made his country safer than any other nation. The only thing they can attack them about is how he treats prisoners, but they do not realize the "rehabilitation" of the west doesn't work in El Salvador, so they had to be ruthless to make sure everywhere is safe and make sure criminals fear what could happen if they get caught.
Some criminals are just evil people and they will do whatever they want even with fear of death, but others? People who go into crime because they feel like they have no other choice? They would rather starve to death than go into crime after seeing what happened. Same goes with bitcoin, they tried to warn him with IMF, but obviously he didn't care, west will keep on attacking him, but he will keep on making his nation much better on the long run.
