       Jason Lowery in the Jimmy Song interview: "You hear Bitcoiners often making the claim that Bitcoin could reduce war, but I haven't found anyone...articulate why."Really?  So no one has ever explained to him that under a Bitcoin standard, waging war will be ~prohibitively expensive as it must be paid for by overt [and unpopular] taxation instead sneaky inflation or bonds?Bitcoin's inviolable price signal makes the negative ROI of war too clear for it to stay in business.

       @mersible I think he sees the peace we see, as war but moved into mining, instead of missiles.

       @mersible he said something like physical war on money can be moved into mining hash wars, which will massively reduce harm on people.

       @Nakadai_mon I agree, and I think his sophistry is good for winning over those clinging to a nationstate military mindset, but another way to put it is that war is ~waste of resources and Bitcoin pulls the curtain back on that.His outlook also presupposes the current geopolitical landscape with the current cast of belligerent country characters.  Post hyperbitcoinization, those obsolete power structures will crumble to the level supported by ~voluntary taxation.
