An interesting point, I will have to spend some more time thinking through this I think.
My knee jerk rebuttal is that today’s wars over energy resources are not limited by the fighting governments’ ability to afford them nor their ability to convince their subjects to help pay for them.
They are paid for via the non-consensual, and mostly inconspicuous debasement of the entire savings base of the population.
I think it’s hard to argue that bitcoin wouldn’t at the very least move us closer to the “fixes this” end of this particular spectrum. Would you at least agree with that?
Yes, governments may become more desperate and bloodthirsty for cheap and abundant energy, but I still think we’re in a better spot if they are limited in their capacity to steal it.
