 That’s a good way of looking at it, never thought of warfare as a POW protocol. Makes sense.

 Yup.. a good analogy is that bitcoin is like humanity's electronic antlers.  It allows us to physically compete using non-lethal electric power to establish a secure dominance hierarchy without relying on trusted third parties to settle disputes.  Traditional war is like fangs and claws, soft war (bitcoin) is like antlers.

 Couldn’t agree more my friend 🤝 apt analogy for sure. Much safer and citizens don’t have to die in the process
