Hehe... you could look at it that way... its because nations engage in a kinetic proof-of-work protocol we call warfare to ensure it remains decentralized.

Bitcoin is simply the exact same think in a non-lethal electric form and instead of competing for control of kinetic based resources people are competing for control over bits of information.

Satoshi democratized warfare.. hope you are mining at home. 

 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
