 As long as there are tank and drone factories, whoever controls them is going to be the ruling class. I don't see how bitcoin will replace tank factories.  
 The economics of destruction are very expensive on a bitcoin standard. The reach of violence is also diminished when the greatest asset is not physical. 
 Economy is only a part of the story, real power exists independent of the economics. 
 The real power you refer to is called a money printer. 
 No, it's called guns and gunpowder.
