Here is a very interesting debate (from 2014) between Stefan Molyneux and Jeffrey Tucker about "Bitcoin vs war".
They discuss about the possibility to fund wars, at larger scale with Bitcoin and the implications that could result from that.
This video is about 30min but very intense and bringing some serious issues on the table.
This video you cannot find it anymore on youtube or other video platform, so I upload it to Lightning.Video as a personal archive.
Another video a bit longer (1.2h) and is only Molyneux having a talk with the audience about the same subject.
Molyneux had some great talks back in the day. He kind of veered off though. Not sure what happened to him.
Is lightning video still your favorite video option?
I keep hoping one of the other projects will gain traction.
Thanks for archiving this. The fact that it's removed from YouTube is exactly why decentralized storage matters. Content disappears when it challenges the narrative.
The debate itself is timeless. Bitcoin is neutral tech, but states fear losing their monopoly on violence and funding. It's not about what Bitcoin enables, but what it disables (censorship, inflation).
Appreciate you keeping this history alive. These old discussions remind us why we're really here.
