How Bitcoin Could Be The Key To World Peace

[Zemomtum]

According to this post by Adrian Barkley, it says crypto can elevate the individual over the dominance of corporations and government due to the fact it is a decentralized asset. It further reiterated that people should focus on taking the power back for themselves, decentralizing power. And it starts with bitcoin instead of protesting on the streets, where the risk of getting injured or killed is a lot greater.

I am in 100% align with his belief or what did you think?

It's more about blockchain decentralisation than just bitcoin in specific. Imo, bitcoin would take a long time to replace the actual fiat which is still idealistic to be true.
The world peace seems to be also an imaginary thought. I can say that humanity has more chance to unify as a global community and may achieve more freedom.

Bitcoin is empowering indeed but it does not really bring the individual to a level higher than the corporations and governments. That is taking it a bit too far. The truth of the matter is that the power still rests on the people. Nothing has changed really. It's just that the great majority of the people are already indifferent or apathetic to what's happening around. They need to wake up first.

Bitcoin as a key to world peace is, again, taking it a bit too much. World peace is a vision which is impossible to reify with or without Bitcoin. But, of course, it does not mean that efforts to attain it are simply a waste. The process is always better than the result in this regard.

I have read time and again how some people are interpreting Bitcoin as if it is a silver bullet to end global poverty, boost countries' economies, provide freedom to the people, key to world peace, and so on and so forth. I think we need to take a pause and look at what Bitcoin really is.

"the biggest thing bitcoin brings is the decentralization of monetary power. If you have government and big business get together, they usually get what they want.”

That's a powerful statement! Bitcoin effectively brought decentralization of monetary power to the world and that is being seen as a challenge by the governments and banks worldwide! Because with bitcoin, people won't need basic banking services anymore. So that's a big threat to the banking business and since banking sector is the main funding provider to the government and has a very strong lobby within the bureaucracy, governments are also seeing it under a negative light.

Decentralization of monetary power can be a good thing for democracy, but it shouldn't lead to social unrest later on by some evil forces with the power to radicalize people!

I like his idea about the protest. Instead of people going to protest, they can easily give their thoughts and idea that the government should give back what the people deserve.

And through buying bitcoin, it's like that because bitcoin is decentralized and it's more of the power of the people who have it. Because, we are the ones who are determining the greater value of bitcoin and they don't have authority to control it but they all have the means to regulate businesses that uses bitcoin.

I don't think Bitcoin will make USA stop attacking countries for their oil, or bitcoin will end with Religion wars. Some problems are deeper than an economic problem. Maybe bitcoin could stop some poverty but it will not stop some crazy powerful people from abuse.

I do not know about World Peace, but Bitcoin can help to have a more transparent voting system and it might help to reduce the impact that a corrupt government might have on a country. When you have transparency, you have accountability to your voters and that is what most of these governments needs.  

Bitcoin can also help to make tender processes more transparent, so there will be less corruption in the whole procurement and payment process <Blockchain transparency> and this will put more funds towards projects that would provide services to the citizens of that country. < The funds will not be stolen and redirected to government officials pockets.>  

[pooya87]

it is such a naive thing to say in my opinion. world peace has nothing to do with taking power back from corporations and government through decentralizing money. the wars all around the world will continue as long as human beings are ambition and psychopaths are in seats of power wanting to expand their territory, keep their "supremacy",...

[Ucy]

Exactly. Governments can actually be part of crypto though.
I think it will help make government  more responsible, less corrupt, less wasteful, more honest etc. I believe there are lots of people in governments that want to be good/honest but can't, due to the current order.
I doubt cryptocurrency will bring world peace though. True World peace can only be achieved under the universal Kingship of the coming True MESSIAH.

I think we already saw what decentralization can bring to the table, that's why we've seen governments and banks turn their back on crypto because they know it will challenge the status quo. And that is what we are seeing right now, so its either government join the movement, otherwise they will be left in the closest.

And as Bitcoin enthusiast, we have seen that it gives up monetary power and financial freedom from big corporations, and I think this will hold true in the next decade.

It's been 11 years, and people still sometimes talk how Bitcoin will soon solve poverty, economic problems, change society and now apparently it can even achieve world peace. But before anything like that can happen, Bitcoin needs to achieve some critical level of adoption - maybe 40-60% o the population, and we are still insanely far away from it. So, instead of dreaming about future greatness, it's better to focus on solving the current task.

[gantez]

If bitcoin becomes a global cryptocurrency, it will have more opportunities to change the world. More precisely, these opportunities will become almost limitless.

IMO,  bitcoin has many limitation that will make it a very difficult task to become a global currency. The government or country all have a currency that they call theirs and even countries whose currencies have devalued would not accept to adopt another country's currency totally, Therefore, that is one major limitation.

[princesspoppy]

If only for economic issues, maybe it's possible for bitcoin to bring peace to all countries (if they all agree at this) but for so many issues around the world about beliefs, religions, society, and many other things, and I don't think bitcoin can make any solution about that. World peace is a very big word and it is really hard to achieve or we can it is impossible to achieve because of people's different mindsets about everything. So I don't think bitcoin and the blockchain technology can make world peace.

[Nadziratel]

Guys, you have to be a little realistic. Bitcoin cannot be a cure for all. World peace is a utopia. I personally can see it with my eyes every day.

We expect blockchain and Bitcoin to be the solution to everything. I don't think this is possible.

[Kensyin]

I can say that humanity has more opportunities to unite as a global community and can achieve more freedom. I don't know about World Peace, but Bitcoin can help have a more transparent electoral system and maybe help reduce the impact that corrupt governments might have against a country. And that is what we are witnessing now, so any government that joins the movement, otherwise they will be left nearby. And people sometimes still talk about how Bitcoin will soon solve poverty, economic problems, change society and now it seems it can even achieve world peace.

I support Bitcoin and world peace sounds great but the idea seems utopian to me. For one, 98% of the world population don't use Bitcoin. With such a small percentage of users, it can be very difficult to predict the outcome. Moreover, among the users of Bitcoin aren't only protesters that want to live in a better world, there're also people involved in very nasty things like arms sales, human trafficking, terrorism. So clearly using Bitcoin doesn't make you an advocate of peace. Finally, I am pretty sure that a very big amount of people wouldn't want to win over the big corporations and stuff (we're not all "Mr. Robots"), so this could trigger a war between those who value personal financial freedom and those who prefer to have some institutions supposedly protecting them.

Not necessarily bitcoin could help in terms of the transparency but its backend which is the blockchain, unalterable and indeed reliable source of legit data. This would probably help a nation which uses it to avoid cheating during election which might result to a better governance due to accountable and rightfully people sitting to the power chairs. But somehow the world peace is too off for this, people could still go to wars even they have a great life, it is just for economic purposes like a booster and does not target any type of beliefs.

The chances for Bitcoin to replace fiat is slim to none rather if that happens, it may take a very long time.
While, chances for world peace to happen is zero, and yes I agree, it's just imaginary. With humans developing hundreds or thousands of ideas everyday, it's inevitable to have contradicting ideas which led to misunderstanding and a cold war, and I don't think blockchain and Bitcoin can do something about it. While protesting is always the way out to be heard by the masses and government.

[Sebas.tian]

Bitcoin as the mainstream manifestation of the Blockchain will take some good reasonable years to achieve this goal of being the world single currency. If this happen, the world will know peace again but, many world powers will fight against Bitcoin be see as the world currency. Let put the facts straight, Blockchain will bring the government close to Bitcoin because, the happenings right now is that: the world has started building their own Blockchain, and some contemplating on building their country digital currency. We have just saw India bouncing back to accept the fact that, Blockchain and cryptocurrency still look fresh with fill opportunities to tap. The government through Blockchain will find love with Bitcoin, "even though it tarry, we will wait."

[Wysi]

There is still a long way to go and I don't think this is a easy feat to achieve and in order to achieve what you have mentioned Bitcoin should be adopted by atleast half of the world's population as its still an alien thing for most and we have surely made progress in last decade but this is not enough to bring peace and gaining own control, I am sorry to differ but I don't agree that Bitcoin would bring peace.
