Never.   For those at the top, life is life a game of Monopoly where they are trying to control as much as possible.  War is very profitable for a lot of companies as well...

The elimination of organized religion would have a better shot at eliminating war than BTC.

If anything, bitcoin will only create more war (or better said riots)
The government wants to know what everyone are doing, the people want to be anonymous, eventually bitcoin will be the middle man of this big dispute.

Satoshi is Captain Kirk in "A Taste of Armageddon."

We need to sacrifice, conserve, ration, and hear about the wars on a daily basis. That is the price we must pay to wage war. It doesn't taste as good as a cafe mochachino at the mall food court bought with money borrowed from our great grandchildren.

Satoshi reminds me of Spartacus and his plight.

"I am Satoshi"

"No, I am Satoshi!", "I am Satoshi!",
I've also made several Kubrick references. Stanley would have loved Bitcoin. I sometimes wonder how he would have made a film about Bitcoin.

drone is war.
you can't build drone with no budget.

if bitcoin replace ... well ... 1/3 of the all amount of currency, budget will be reduce (and war stop ...).

because, only the QE pay the bill of war.
This is not true. The citizens of countries that have participated in various major wars in the past have been more then willing to help finance the way, both through higher taxes and citizens buying "war bonds".

It is only recently (since the late 1990's) that taxes have generally not been raised and citizens were not asked to buy government debt to finance wars

What happens when the supply of bitcoin gets too low for demand, and people start resorting to violence in the ruthless struggle for bitcoin?

All bitcoiners except the strongest one dies, and he gets all the coins. When he has all the coins, he can buy everything. What else could happen?

Ideology whether cultural, religious, philosophical, or nationalistic is a tremendous motivator for war. This is an off topic discussion however because the true metric of motivation is determined upon where people are willing to place their lives and money towards. Can wars be sufficiently maintained through voluntary fundraising(war bonds) and lack of conscription? If not than Bitcoin has a significant role in reducing wars.


Agree.That is a significant moot point.

Religion  is rarely a major factor in most wars.Even  in  religious wars like the Crusades both sides were busy fighting and backstabbing their brothers in Faith as much as the enemy.

Are you kidding about this? The axis (aka the German empire) were trying to exterminate anyone who followed the Jewish religion.

I don't see how anyone would not know that WW2 was about religion....unless they don't believe the holocaust actually happened

Umm no.You really need to get your WW2 facts checked.

Firstly, the reason Germany and its allies(don't forget that the axis also consisted of other countries) went to war wasn't to exterminate the Jewish religion, that's true even if you focus with Germany sans her allies.

Secondly, The criteria for the Nazi's  extermination policies(racial/ethnic, political lines were  stronger influence) weren't limited to  the Jews,they're just the most "high profile" victims .There were also the Slavs , Romani and many other non Jewish victims.

And that's not even talking about the clusterfuck of mutual defence and alliance trigger that was World War One.

Religion  is rarely a major factor in most wars.Even  in  religious wars like the Crusades both sides were busy fighting and backstabbing their brothers in Faith as much as the enemy.

Only post-scarcity solves war, so Bitcoin will not reduce wars.

Post-scarcity is an illusion which has no basis in reality. It is trivial to create scarcity within any "post scarcity" RBE.

Whether people are motivated about religion, nationalism, land or resources to go to war they have to pay for it somehow. Fiat currencies allows for a small group of people to efficiently raise and spend capital for war. Without that tool, wars can still be waged but less efficiently, thus Bitcoin has potential to reduce wars.

Compared to fiat how could a country possibly manipulate Btcoin to spend money on war as efficiently?

No, nothing will end war ever.

As long as root of evil - money - of any kind exists in our world Wars are meant to happen. Nothing will change it. If you can gain something there will be war.
Most wars are actually caused by and revolve around religion. Even with the lack of money, or the lack of potentially gaining some additional resource many wars that the world has seen would have still taken place.
This is true. Religion has been at least one factor in every war in history and has been a major factor in most wars. Bitcoin potentially replacing fiat is not going to change this

Even the World Wars ?
