Could we start to see Bitcoin as a Peace protocol?

If the control of money can cause a war, then surely a neutral money can end the emergence of such kind of war.

Bitcoin replaces the need for coercive force; armies, and laws with mathematical trust.

Can Bitcoin be a tool to replace violence?

[lionheart78]

No. Humans have no contentment.  There will be people who will always want something from other people, and most who have no patience or low morals will always use force to steal the things they want.

As a matter of fact, Bitcoin can be a reason for violence.  Have you heard news about people robbing, kidnapping other people, which sometimes resulted in death, because they wanted to take other people's Bitcoin?

Bitcoin being valuable attracts lots of bad players; Bitcoin cannot remove the greed from people's hearts.

Can Bitcoin be a tool to replace violence?

No I don't think so. The major causes of crisis across the  world can be mostly attributed to religion, socioeconomic and political factors where some people that see themselves as superior tend to intimidate the people they sees as inferior to them by trying to have control over them. So even if Bitcoin is centralize as the only generally acceptable currency in the world it will not play significant role crisis resolution rather it will only help to reduced corruption such money laundries.

If most wars are born from the struggle for control, then real peace might begin with systems that take that control away. What makes Bitcoin fascinating to me is that it doesn’t fight power with more power, it replaces it with fairness. No rulers, no middlemen just math and mutual agreement. It’s like saying, “we can cooperate without coercion.”

 Maybe that’s what peace looks like in the digital age, not just the absence of war but the presence of trust built on code instead of control.

That said, we must also acknowledge the fact that peace isn’t only a product of systems, it’s also a reflection of human nature. Even with perfect technology, our flaws can still breed conflict. But if anything can guide us toward a more transparent and less conflicting world, I think it's a systems like Bitcoin  that teaches us trust without force and value without violence.

Financially bitcoin means a lot of things but currently with this your text and analogy I think you are actually putting too much pressure on bitcoin in terms of solving societal problems. Bitcoin straight up is a form of financial breakthrough anchored through decentralization and simultaneously it doesn't mean that it can't be used for wrong things.

People steal a lot with bitcoin every single day same way other transactions done with bitcoin may result in clashes or violence but that doesn't mean bitcoin is the problem or the solution to these things. People should be encouraged to use it for the right thing instead.

Bitcoin Mining does not look like what you stated .  Remember, mining with hashing power is part of why the Bitcoin blockchain is moving. If you look at how mining pools and individual miners compete against each other, it looks like everyone is waging war against each other to compete with the reward. The higher the hashing power one has, the higher their chance of getting the reward. This, I think, refutes the reason for your fascination with Bitcoin.  And aside from that, the one who pays a higher fee gets the first place on the line of the confirmation, it is not first-come first first-served per se. Isn't the Bitcoin system quietly coercing people who are in a rush to pay a higher fee to be prioritized?  If we compare it to the service of the government, this fee transaction is probably influenced by the under-the-table dealings (giving gifts or extra to be the first one in line), it is that the payment here is transparent.

I just don't understand why these days newbies come up with rather silly questions. Just so you understand, Bitcoin is not a tool for solving social and political problems; it is simply an alternative digital currency to fiat currency. Bitcoin is not a magic solution to everything you say it is; it is simply a decentralised system that enables secure and transparent transactions without intermediaries. So, it is necessary to understand the actual function of Bitcoin, and there is no need to make it too complicated.

Zoom out, this is all it takes to see that many past wars doesn't start simy because of money, greed in other country's resources is far more acceptable by me because it is something that have caused war in Africa, another one is hate.

We humans are never satisfied that's why the Bible says that any man that is contented has everything, it is very rare to see humans who are satisfied with all they have and not want more.

Bitcoin has nothing to do with world resources, Bitcoin is neutral, it stands alone, Gold mines exists in many countries, some have oil and vast lands and many earthly precious stones, what can Bitcoin do about this? Nothing, even if Bitcoin become the #1 most valuable in the future, it doesn't mean that other earthy resources are useless, Gold for example can never become useless.

Many other things are been used for producing what humans consumes, they won't stop using them and the value will always be there, wars and other adversity is part of the world we live in, nothing can erase it completely.

Can Bitcoin be a tool to replace violence?

Bitcoin can reduce certain types of state financial coercion, such as financing wars through inflation or weaponizing the financial system through sanctions. But it will not eliminate violence or conflict altogether. The point is that when one instrument of power is taken away, power does not disappear, it is simply transferred to another channel. Even in the world of Bitcoin, someone still controls energy, the internet, and mining operations.

Bitcoin solves the security of transactions but does not solve fundamental human coordination problems such as property disputes, fraud, collective defense, which still require the use of force and some forms of coercion. That is, Bitcoin is a tool that makes certain financial abuses more difficult, not a replacement for rule or a solution to violence.
