Do you think Bitcoin could bring about world peace?

[Andy4.4]

No, it will never be able to bring world peace.
Basically it is a currency and currency don't make world peaceful, the rich get richer and poor get poorer and that increases the differences between poor and rich people and there comes hatred between them and world peace get destroyed.

I don't see how these two are connected or could be connected !!! 

I guess some people see the connection as this: innovations like cryptocurrency take certain powers away from the governments and place certain powers into the hands of the people. Although, I'd have to agree that wars aren't started just because of governments.

Yes, it would create an individual differences within the people, and surely it won't contribute anything towards world peace, I don't understand what is the relation or connection between bitcoins and world peace, and it would never contribute towards economy of the country as it is decentralised and no one has control over it.

World peace? Who knows...but Bitcoin does help me sleep better at night knowing its a good alternative to the usd! So happy I'm aware and not in the dark about bitcoins! newbie

yup that's right.
Poor people will never know about Bitcoin and who knows about it will never be able to get it.
But for rich people Bitcoin is just another thing to play with.

Noble peace prize for Satoshi? 

On a serious note, as long as lunatics abound, you won't have world peace, Gold couldn't end wars; and neither will bitcoin.

[MF Doom]

no, because btc can not eliminate every single war hungry politician in existence.  That would be the only way to create world peace, because as it currently is, politicians (especially US ones) do not want an end to war.

Every day they find a new way to justify their wars, and use scare tactics to keep people thinking they are necessary.  I've noticed that they do that a lot, always justify their actions by saying war is going to happen if they dont do this or dont bomb here.  Its sickening really.

[kostya.ash]

It can't bring peace... But it can definitely help mitigate minor conflicts and doubts about money usage by big companies/governments.

if there is a war, we need the money or property that can be taken anywhere, bitcoin can be used, the gold may not be

If it is true that money is the root of all evil and bitcoin is money then this cannot be true. Whether the currency is physical or not is irrelevant. You could argue that it's actually the greed and power that cause war and terrorism. BTC is just another type of money for the power hungry to use as a symbol of status.

[tonycamp]

the bit coin started too much into crime traficc and guns even try out of nucleas bomobs doing uranium buy and drugs but now its more relaiable into good things a nd good porducts the over 4 billion dollars that they worth and can be more activity peace into this

[bitcoinmasterlord]

wars and battles were never about money..
its about the idiots in control who order people to fight other people for natural resources

So then what are wars about then when not about money? Why do you think these iditos create wars for natural ressources? It is because of money. Everytime. Even the IS started as a gang of thugs with religious painting so they could attract followers. They still do so but in reality they are a business. I have heard you even can invest in them and take part in rewards coming from their cruel deeds. I don't know where i have read that anymore though.

I interviewed Toni Lane Casserly of Coin Telegraph for our blog, and I thought that she had some really interesting & thought-provoking ideas on Bitcoin & world peace:

"For the first time in our lives, we are actually able to define the way we think about politics, about logic, about money, about value… I saw this as a model for the next stage of the world, one that promotes both peace and a broader sense of equality. In doing so, I believe we can begin to create a more humanitarian planet who focuses on the success of the individual, while also building strong communities and cultures around Bitcoin or alternative systems of logic that can be controlled by people who are adding value, not by people who are using the system to manipulate others. With inventions like this, these inventions of abundance, the idea of world peace is not actually a dream but a very possible reality."

I was wondering what people thought of her ideas on inventions like Bitcoin leading to the attainability of world peace. What do you think?

Here's the full interview, if you're curious - click!

Opposite, I think Bitcoin could bring about world war.

As long as there are different skin colors, languages, cultures, and religions , there's not even the slightest chance for world peace. I almost believe that
people are generally unable to live in peace for a longer period of time, like it was embedded into our DNA to be idiots, atleast from time to time.

Bitcoin, however well thought and practical, can not be used to bring peace alone, because it can only be universal currency, but all other differences will still remain, leading individuals into conflict once again.

cheers

According to a scientific article that I once read, the angst that we feel towards other people is genetically embedded. It is a part of our being, and that's the reason why we human beings have this what we called "survival instinct." If the events forces us to kill, we, as a slave of our genes, kill. I believe that there will be some kind of utopia even in the distant future. It just won't happen.

Bitcoin on the other side however, will not in any way bring peace to this planet. Well it is another kind of property that a human could possess, and history can provide us a lot of definite examples of how properties caused major conflicts in the past (territorial lands are part of properties, right?) As long as the concept of money exists, there will be no world peace. People why try and try to gain more of it, and if the events forced people to kill in order to gain more of it, he/she/they will be once again be a slave of their own genetic code.

There are many fraud cases in bitcoin, black market using bitcoin, or people who feel depressed because lost in gambling. I dont think bitcoin could bring peace. Its totally depend on human as its user.

[irfan01]

I think not, bitcoin currency only internet world
if bitcoin can bring peace means the dollar could also

[gripflierGO]

Yes it can never bring world peace, but yes it can bring the revolution as internet did in the past, it is just a currency and it should be treated as currency, no need to have extra expectations from bitcoins as it would be foolish to do so, So bitcoin's contribution to bring world peace is something impossible and irrelevant topic to discuss.

[|Bitcoin|]

No bitcoin will not bring peace to the world. Money is one of the reason why many wars and battles start. Bitcoin is make to take place money. So it is like money.

Hey,  Bitcoin is also a kind of money.
So if money brings world War then Bitcoin will also bring world War.
So definitely Bitcoin will be the reason for world War 3.
