Do you think Bitcoin could bring about world peace?

[flock123]

depending on how you use it
if it's with good intentions, maybe it could happen 

[TinEye]

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.

but the difference is that bitcoin is a global currency so in theory it should unify the world and destroy the differences, also it can work as a good way for poor countries, if they adopt it as their main currency, because they can take advantage of its high price thanks to other country and be healthy again, i think it could bring a transitory peace if this happen

[cellard]

World peace will never arrive as long as one can make profit out of it. So as long as a monetary system exists, be it fiat, gold or Bitcoin, wars will exist. World peace is impossible unless the society is advanced enough to not need any monetary system to begin with.

[s1ng]

Bitcoin just like another currency that can be use as investation or purchasing something.
As long as currency exist, there will be no peace ( Ex : Greece Crisis )

No one cant guarantee us if bitcoin change fiat, it can make this world be healthier. If bitcoin is adopted as main currency, the scamming, war, robbing, corruption, bribing, etc still happen, because bitcoin is a currency. People will do anything to get it, no matter what the effect he will give is for his surroundings.

True, but at least illegally founded wars will be more difficult if the goverment is forced to show their public money movements over the blockchain, but because of this I doubt they will want to accept BTC as the official currency, because it would show their scams too much.

Bitcoin can never replace fiat, as the government would not support bitcoins and they would really won't happen it possible that any crypto replaces their printed currency on which they have total control, and talking about the world peace, history says that where there is money involved in anything it has only entertained the fights, wars etc. so even bitcoins will do the same.

I partly agree with you but I think that virtual money will be our future soon, but this will be virtual money created or under strict control of some government agency.
Bitcoin will always be alternative currency but never fully accepted by the authorities.
Money itself is not good or bad, by people decides if they will use money for good or bad purpose.
So, only we, people, can create peace, no money, technology, bitcoin etc.

To me, if gold didn't bring world peace, then neither will bitcoin. Although world peace would be nice.

[grendel25]

bitcoin could certainly be a part of world peace and maybe even contribute to world peace but bitcoin alone couldn't do it.  World peace will take severe ideological changes and more trust in the younger generation from the older generation.  I firmly believe that we are progressing towards a more peaceful world as it is.  I think we are witnessing the death throws of violent culture.  ISIS is a good example of last ditch efforts to rule by violence but they will not succeed in the long run.

Right, Whenever we talk about money there are many things associated with, like fights, jealousy, family members are fighting with each other for the sake of the property, and bitcoins is also money so same would go with bitcoins in future, People will fight for bitcoins and no currency can bring world peace for sure, world peace can be done by mutual understanding of individuals.

[tonycamp]

there's nothing peaceful on getting money just the factor that money put us less nervous and so on but peace its just for the most big sharks of the BTC  gather they have for common guy its the battle of survivor for just 1BTC

[lottery248]

it can't legitimately bring peace because it makes no sense to world peace.
at least we would have the economic freedom.

[Kaneki]

to become world peace seems too far, but indirectly it could possibly help make it happen.

[Denker]

No it can't. Because there are several reasons why war takes place. Often it is because of different religions, political views or events which had happened in the past between two or more parties.
Bitcoin even will not be able to stop poverty in the world. But it can help to reduce the exploitation from the incumbent financial institutions.

[Fat Ronaldo]

I don't see how world peace would ever be achieved so I certainly don't think bitcoin will achieve that, but it certainly has potential to liberate a lot of people from economic slavery or at least save them a lot of money that otherwise would go to banks and extortionate payment processors.

[TibanneCat]

Yeah it will also cure cancer 

As long as there are humans, there will be greed.
As long as there is greed, there will be wars.

my question, how does it work (bitcoin) can help to reduce the exploitation from the incumbent financial institutions.?
thx

Yeah thats a good point.
There is still a bad thing beside the goods, so if there is a thing that could bring peace, then a opposite thing will be appear to make war. We can say bitcoin is the good thing, and human is the bad one.

[zero01]

Well I think bitcoin can make peace in the world, however, is the currency bitcoin, we can help someone with the money we have
