Could you elaborate on the potential of Bitcoin to prevent war? Given its decentralized and borderless nature, does it offer a novel approach to conflict resolution? Could its use as a medium of exchange between nations, bypassing traditional financial institutions, mitigate tensions and reduce the likelihood of armed conflicts? Furthermore, how would Bitcoin's fixed supply and limited inflation characteristics factor into this discussion? Are there any real-world examples or scenarios where Bitcoin has been proposed as a conflict-resolution tool? Lastly, what challenges and limitations would need to be addressed for Bitcoin to truly become a force for peace?

One perspective suggests that Bitcoin, as a decentralized and secure digital currency, may have the ability to constrain certain forms of large-scale, expensive conventional war.

This is due to its potential to facilitate transactions without relying on traditional financial institutions, thus reducing the need for costly military interventions to secure economic interests.

However, the thesis must be qualified to recognize that Bitcoin, in itself, is unlikely to materially reduce human conflict or substantially constrain state violence on a net basis.

Conflict and violence often stem from deeper socio-political issues that Bitcoin alone cannot address. Furthermore, the cryptocurrency industry is still in its nascency, and its long-term impact remains uncertain.
