šļø How Bitcoin Can Prevent Wars ā Part 1: The Decay of Money
Throughout history, major wars have never been solely about hatred, territory, or religion. The deeper root has always been money ā or more precisely, the decay of money. A nation can wage war only when it can spend beyond its real economic capacity. And the strongest tool enabling that is money printing.
Here we enter Part 1: Madeni para bozulması ā The Decay of Currency.
š§© 1. When money decays, war becomes āeasyā
In fiat monetary systems, governments can:
Print unlimited money
Borrow endlessly
Shift the cost of war onto citizens through inflation
People donāt see taxes rise immediately, but prices go up, savings erode, and they think itās just āa bad economyāānot realizing that āwar is being funded by the blood of their money.ā
The softer the money ā the easier the war.
šļø 2. Every empire begins with hard money and ends with paper
Rome, ancient China, medieval Europe, the Ottoman Empire, and in modern times, the U.S. dollarāevery empire has followed the same pattern:
-
Start with hard money: gold, silver, precious metals
-
Expand power
-
Run deficits, fight continuous wars
-
Debase the currency: reduce metal content, issue more paper money
-
Economic and social decline
-
Collapse
When madeni para bozulması (the debasement of coinage) begins, the future of society begins to decay with it.
š£ 3. Decayed money leads to geopolitical aggression
When nations can print money to fund wars, they donāt pay the cost immediately. This makes aggression easierāalmost effortless.
Itās no coincidence that:
The U.S. launched over 100 military interventions after 1971 (when the USD broke from gold).
Global military spending rises along the curve of inflation.
Modern wars last longer and have no clear ending.
š 4. Bitcoin emerges as a historical counter-force
Bitcoin completely breaks away from the model of decaying money:
Fixed supply: 21 million
No one can print more
No one can use inflation as an invisible tax
No one can silently fund war by debasing currency
Bitcoin brings the real cost of war back into reality, preventing governments from quietly shifting the burden onto citizens.
When money cannot be weakened, war cannot be made ācheap.ā
š 5. Hard money = Hard peace
A world using hard money like Bitcoin has these characteristics:
A nation that wants war ā must raise taxes openly
Citizens see the real cost immediately ā strong resistance
Politicians lose the ability to fund endless wars through infinite debt
Power blocs can no longer manipulate money to expand influence
Hard money tends to preserve peace; soft money tends to preserve conflict.
