The Role of Bitcoin in Breaking the Cycle of Violence and Conquest
Bitcoin and other cryptographic protocols that are unchangeable and incorruptible under any political environment provide sovereignty to individuals by eliminating exceptions. This breaks the cycle of violence and conquest that has been prevalent throughout history. The theory of memetic violence, where humans imitate one another in acts of violence, perpetuates this cycle. Traditional moral codes and impulses are not enough to solve this issue, as they lack economic incentives. However, Bitcoin reduces the profitability of violence by allowing individuals to escape effectively with their economic energy or purchasing power. This paradigm shift in the digital age offers hope for building incorruptible tools that disincentivize the repetition of these patterns of vengeance.
