Bitcoin and its potential impact on war frequency

Ever thought about how Bitcoin might cut down on wars? I know it sounds a bit nuts, but hear me out. One reason why wars have been on the rise in the 20th century is that governments figured out a way to disconnect war funding from immediate taxes. Back in the day, if a king wanted to start a war, he needed gold, silver, or to raise taxes. People felt those costs right away and usually pushed back against it. With fiat money, though, governments can fund wars through things like printing more money, taking on debt, or just letting inflation do its thing. This often means that the real costs of war don’t hit the public until much later. So, a government can run a conflict knowing the citizens won’t realize the impact until they see things like rising prices, shrinking buying power, a bigger national debt, and devalued currency. That’s where Bitcoin steps in, making economic accountability a lot more immediate. With Bitcoin, governments can’t just create more coins to support military actions, so wars would likely face more pushback from the public. Voters wouldn't be able to ignore their share of the burden anymore. Bitcoin isn’t gonna turn people into pacifists, but it definitely makes wars pricier and harder for governments to hide from their citizens. Would you keep doing something if it started costing way more?

Before fiat creation, there were wars, both within countries because of internal conflicts or political reasoning and also there were wars between countries. I mean not just wars, but numerous wars. Fiat is not the reason war is existing. Also bitcoin can not end war because people have the mindset of waging war against each other. I think the reason you posted this is what you have heard about the dollar dominance which United States used to have dominate power and the country was in war with Iran recently.

Bitcoin is an asset, like gold, just better to custody. It may be romantic to say that it makes war less affordable, and I wish it to be true, but in order for this to come true, people must actually wake up to the reality that their savings are being stolen every day and buy bitcoin instead. It is sovereign individuals who de-fund war. If it takes Bitcoin to restore this sovereignty, then so be it. I hope it helps humanity, but I'm keeping the glass half-full until I see the next decades first.
