Bitcoin changes terrain: • No money printer = no free aggression • On-chain flows expose weapon funding • Neutral reserve ends SWIFT weaponization Meritocracy rules: nations compete for talent, not debasement. G8 Bitcoin rails = you hate each other fine, but can't secretly unplug or inflate each other away. Wars shorter, rarer, contained. Sovereign money = sovereign peace protocol.
