Bitcoin's decentralized nature and difficulty to seize make it less profitable and more challenging to fund wars compared to a gold standard. In a war scenario, refugees often leave behind their wealth to escape the conflict.

This highlights the significant role Bitcoin plays in reorganizing human actions away from coercion, violence, and towards cooperation, peace, and trade.
