I enjoyed reading your post. I don't want to be misunderstood, because I believe that Bitcoin can help solve many of society's problems. However, I don't think Bitcoin will be able to solve wars. I hope I'm wrong. It's true that wars generate a lot of wealth for some countries and corporations, but wars don't happen exclusively for money. Territorial and resource interests are the main reasons. There are even some people who still fight wars for reasons from the past millennium...
Oh I don't either. I hope that is not what it sounds like I'm saying. I'm not. That is naive. What fiat currencies and "leaders" who are merely "caretakers" (democracy) or puppets of elites do is remove the natural limiting force of hard money. If those rulers can't print then they either have to steal or convince people to donate. Much harder and therefore creates resistance that they don't currently feel. Does that make sense?

make sense, but

Indeed.
The state won't go down without a fight. We have to be ready. There will be pain and persecution but it will be worth it for our decedents. I would love to see bitcoin achieve these things before I go to meet my maker. I hope I am able to.

I recommend you to watch this talk (again Molyneux) exactly about Bitcoin vs war.

Wars are started by the govs and banks - I think that is clear now. Is how they feed.
Individuals maybe they can start some territorial "wars" but those are only at a local level, that cannot affect too much the rest of the people.
All these small "territorial/resources" disputes could be solved easily and peacefully, once people will fully embrace Bitcoin.
Why?
BECAUSE BITCOIN IS CHANGING THEIR MENTALITY, from brute homo sapiens to HOMO BITCOINUS. And that is a game changer. What you see nowadays are remains of fiat world, putrid and hateful. That's why you are still trapped into that belief of wars...
Please watch that talk and think again.
there's another talk between Jeffrey Tucker and Stefan Molyneux (from 2015) about war and bitcoin, but I can't find it now. very good one.

What makes you think that? Wars are mostly fought over resources, and I don't see Bitcoin solving that. Again, I hope I'm wrong, but I can't see it happening. Maybe I'm just too dumb...

Not in our lifetime... Bitcoin is still a baby.

Well, that's where speculation comes in. In your opinion, how much longer will it be necessary?
reply
All depend on peoples non-compliance to crazy shit that pushed upon them from govs.
But let's say that slowly more people will start to not comply.
In the next 10 years we could have half of the world population using Bitcoin.
That means, we could still have some isolated wars, regional, lost somewhere. But is not our problem anymore.
Then in the next 5 to 10 years all the rest of the world is fully using Bitcoin.
But still at empirical level, education is still scarce, govs still exist in some places.
In some places people start organizing in a different manner, without a central gov, but still with local counselors, political parties are gone forever because are useless.
In the next 10 years, people start seeing a some change in culture, mentality, education, well being, justice etc. Wars are gone, is useless to start a war.
This period is when homo sapiens start to became homo bitcoinus, after almost 50 years of Bitcoin existence.
So my raw speculation is that in minimum 50 years from now we will see hyperbitcoinization and a better world. With only one condition: people will stop obeying govs rules. Otherwise, not. If people still obeying, then we will still have fiat and even worse, CBDC. And that means we will still have wars.

I wish I could live to see your prophecy come true. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I think you're being quite optimistic. I hope you're right. Only time will tell!
