The United States will never stop slaughtering people in the middle east until we remove their ability to pay for it. Gaza is actually very small compared to what WE (nato) did in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria etc...
I think basically since Vietnam has proven it doesn't matter how you vote, they print money and murder with the proceeds, the puppet in office 4 years may change but the military industrial complex has fully taken root.
If all of this had to be paid for by taxes, none of it would be possible. So that's one reason why bitcoiners say "fix the money, fix the world"
There was still evil under a gold standard. We can expect the same under a Bitcoin standard. It's just money nothing more nothing less.
If anything we can expect to see the equivalent of the $10 wrench attack except with nukes.
Nope. Gold made violence profitable because of its physicality. Bitcoin makes violence extremely unprofitable.
People sleep so keep saying dumb things like that.
Once we are on a Bitcoin standard the military industrial complex will also accept Bitcoin. Why wouldn't halliburton, Raytheon, And Lockheed Martin accept the hardest money ever?
Instead of backing the Saudis for oil maybe we end up backing El Salvador and destroying their enemies.
Who will pay those war companies? How will they turn a profit?
Bitcoin is a tool. It alone doesn't fix anything. It's also not inevitable.
It takes generations to educate a society. While doing so, those that come to understand faster will often arbitrage the knowledge and power attained over others to avoid loss of position.

Gold wasn’t accessible to most people. Its properties were not conducive to democratized money.
Bitcoin fixes that.
how is gold not accessible?
If you were a peasant who swept floors, you weren’t getting paid in gold.
Not sure if you looked around at the current state of things. But if we stayon this trajectory peasants will get paid in custodial ecash. And I'd rather have silver.
Or copper.
Or s*** I'm a welder you can definitely pay me an aluminum or stainless steel.
Yep. Presidents are just temporary employees in permanent power structures.
The euphemism for money printing g it’s 'borrowing'. It should be called for what it is: theft. None give mandate to do so. Pigs at the trough simply do what they want. Sorry if it's offending to pigs.
