Hoje deparei-me com um artigo escrito a 19/01/2022, ou seja quase um mês antes da guerra na Ucrânia começar. Será que o escritor sabia de algo!?
Bem, o artigo não fala como o Bitcoin como ser util para o cidadão comum em momentos de guerra, mas sim como o Bitcoin poderia tentar mitigar a probabilidade das guerras.
There are good reasons to believe that Bitcoin may reduce the incentive for large-scale, conventional war and imperial-style occupations. At the same time, such forms of state violence may become outmoded regardless of Bitcoin due to the dramatic improvement in weapons technology to asymptotically project power with relatively little cost. Further, the posture of nuclear forces – and the taught logic of deterrence we rely on to prevent their use – will likely be entirely unchanged by Bitcoin (at least for the foreseeable future).
No artigo são destacados três pontos de como o Bitcoin pode mitigar as guerras:
I) Bitcoin reduces the state budget for war … but warfighting technology improvements will give states (and everyone else) “more for less” (partly because of bitcoin).
II) States will likely continue to sustain and expand world-ending nuclear capabilities, even under a Bitcoin standard, merely as a result of the locked-in logic of deterrence.
III) Bitcoin fixes a lot of things, but war is unlikely to be one of them (at least for the foreseeable future).
Uma coisa o escritor deixa claro:
Bitcoin may have profound affects on war, but it certainly won't end it.
Acham que realmente o Bitcoin pode no futuro, reduzir o incentivo as guerras?
