Do you think financial institutions, and skyscrapers they inhabit, would not exist in a BTC-powered world? People won't want to use their BTC to invest in companies on the stock market, trade commodities futures, or issue loans?


That's a bad example but one thing that wouldn't happen is a government manipulating its currency to finance wars.


How much war happens because of fiat currency manipulation that wouldn't happen otherwise?

Seems like humanity has engaged in war on a pretty regular basis since long before people decided to put their trust in paper money.
