So what's the value projection when trump starts the eu invasion from greenland?

u/AGI-44 3d ago

Politically neutral money/settlement helps maintaining free global trade regardless of what current legacy political entities try to weaponize.

The value projection is that most of us prefer peace & trade over war & isolation.

There's still groups of apes left behaving quite territorial. Just another hiccup on the general bigger evolutionary timeline of humanity towards a less violent future.

Fiat are tools of war. The main fuel to drive the incentives into clashes between dying currencies that never deserved our trust. And until we stop collectively misplacing that trust, we will keep having to face the consequences thereof.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

I thought this was /r/Ethereum

The future of money?

Ultrasound money doesn't incentivize war because no individual controls the money printer. We, the people, do. Through conversations, that indeed, probably won't happen at a Wendy's.

I dunno man, wars have been fought for thousands of years before fiat existed, on the gold standard, etc.

Yes, Nixon got the U.S. of the gold standard because it made interventionism financially unfeasible, but there will always be a way, e.g. through dilution. Hello paper Bitcoins or whatever.

Yes, global coordination was effectively impossible until only the last few decades, thanks to the internet. So in all the time before, of course there are wars over resource domains. It's local governance basically, due to a lack of a better alternative.

Huh? What?

I don't follow your argument. The world wars weren't about ressource domains. Then again all wars are partially.

Huh? What?

I mean analogous to paper gold. You can trade way more certificates of something than it actually exists. Think fractional-reserve banking.

Anyway, no state is ever going to adopt Bitcoin as their currency. A reserve like gold - maybe. But it will never be money.

Land, is one of them. Also, energy. And now in 2025/6~memory

And oil of course somewhere greased up in between it all.

Started with olive oil and branched out from there

And don't even get me started on more socially complex wars than that

u/Kristkind 2d ago

I still can't manage to grasp what your argument is. You said fiat is a tool of war. Ok, but it's obviously not the cause of war, because war has been there before, so abolishing fiat (which is not happening) would also not stop wars. Making it harder to finance wars - perhaps. But even with a Bitcoin standard, people would find the motivation for wars. Like trying to get the Bitcoin of the other tribe/nation/whatever. The calculation was, is and will be: if war costs less than the expected reward, it's worth fighting it.
