 I like this, but I don't trust it. I'm pretty sure you've just got "minimizing violence" higher than your priority list than "maximizing fairness" when you kill people, and that seems irrational, like it's just a way to tell yourself you're not killing people. Let me rephrase actually, I don't just "like," I love the idea that we can actually use non-lethal force thanks to technology such as Bitcoin. I just think it's so clear that can't work, I don't trust denial of that. 
 I think it's up for debate how well it might work. I'd prefer my enemy to be weakened as much as possible before I actually have to take calculated risks myself.  
 If I manage to raise an army or anything, you might be a good provider of counterweight opinions for me to consult before doing shit. 🤙
