To me, if gold didn't bring world peace, then neither will bitcoin. Although world peace would be nice.

Right, Whenever we talk about money there are many things associated with, like fights, jealousy, family members are fighting with each other for the sake of the property, and bitcoins is also money so same would go with bitcoins in future, People will fight for bitcoins and no currency can bring world peace for sure, world peace can be done by mutual understanding of individuals.

bitcoin could certainly be a part of world peace and maybe even contribute to world peace but bitcoin alone couldn't do it.  World peace will take severe ideological changes and more trust in the younger generation from the older generation.  I firmly believe that we are progressing towards a more peaceful world as it is.  I think we are witnessing the death throws of violent culture.  ISIS is a good example of last ditch efforts to rule by violence but they will not succeed in the long run.

No bitcoin will not bring peace to the world. Money is one of the reason why many wars and battles start. Bitcoin is make to take place money. So it is like money.

but the difference is that bitcoin is a global currency so in theory it should unify the world and destroy the differences, also it can work as a good way for poor countries, if they adopt it as their main currency, because they can take advantage of its high price thanks to other country and be healthy again, i think it could bring a transitory peace if this happen
No one cant guarantee us if bitcoin change fiat, it can make this world be healthier. If bitcoin is adopted as main currency, the scamming, war, robbing, corruption, bribing, etc still happen, because bitcoin is a currency. People will do anything to get it, no matter what the effect he will give is for his surroundings.

Bitcoin can never replace fiat, as the government would not support bitcoins and they would really won't happen it possible that any crypto replaces their printed currency on which they have total control, and talking about the world peace, history says that where there is money involved in anything it has only entertained the fights, wars etc. so even bitcoins will do the same.

I partly agree with you but I think that virtual money will be our future soon, but this will be virtual money created or under strict control of some government agency.
Bitcoin will always be alternative currency but never fully accepted by the authorities.
Money itself is not good or bad, by people decides if they will use money for good or bad purpose.
So, only we, people, can create peace, no money, technology, bitcoin etc.

True, but at least illegally founded wars will be more difficult if the goverment is forced to show their public money movements over the blockchain, but because of this I doubt they will want to accept BTC as the official currency, because it would show their scams too much.

Bitcoin just like another currency that can be use as investation or purchasing something.
As long as currency exist, there will be no peace ( Ex : Greece Crisis )

World peace will never arrive as long as one can make profit out of it. So as long as a monetary system exists, be it fiat, gold or Bitcoin, wars will exist. World peace is impossible unless the society is advanced enough to not need any monetary system to begin with.

Hey,  Bitcoin is also a kind of money.
So if money brings world War then Bitcoin will also bring world War.
So definitely Bitcoin will be the reason for world War 3.

I think not, bitcoin currency only internet world
if bitcoin can bring peace means the dollar could also

Yes it can never bring world peace, but yes it can bring the revolution as internet did in the past, it is just a currency and it should be treated as currency, no need to have extra expectations from bitcoins as it would be foolish to do so, So bitcoin's contribution to bring world peace is something impossible and irrelevant topic to discuss.

There are many fraud cases in bitcoin, black market using bitcoin, or people who feel depressed because lost in gambling. I dont think bitcoin could bring peace. Its totally depend on human as its user.

As long as there are different skin colors, languages, cultures, and religions , there's not even the slightest chance for world peace. I almost believe that
people are generally unable to live in peace for a longer period of time, like it was embedded into our DNA to be idiots, atleast from time to time.

Bitcoin, however well thought and practical, can not be used to bring peace alone, because it can only be universal currency, but all other differences will still remain, leading individuals into conflict once again.

cheers

According to a scientific article that I once read, the angst that we feel towards other people is genetically embedded. It is a part of our being, and that's the reason why we human beings have this what we called "survival instinct." If the events forces us to kill, we, as a slave of our genes, kill. I believe that there will be some kind of utopia even in the distant future. It just won't happen.

Bitcoin on the other side however, will not in any way bring peace to this planet. Well it is another kind of property that a human could possess, and history can provide us a lot of definite examples of how properties caused major conflicts in the past (territorial lands are part of properties, right?) As long as the concept of money exists, there will be no world peace. People why try and try to gain more of it, and if the events forced people to kill in order to gain more of it, he/she/they will be once again be a slave of their own genetic code.

Love me love my Bitcoin.
I interviewed Toni Lane Casserly of Coin Telegraph for our blog, and I thought that she had some really interesting & thought-provoking ideas on Bitcoin & world peace:

"For the first time in our lives, we are actually able to define the way we think about politics, about logic, about money, about value… I saw this as a model for the next stage of the world, one that promotes both peace and a broader sense of equality. In doing so, I believe we can begin to create a more humanitarian planet who focuses on the success of the individual, while also building strong communities and cultures around Bitcoin or alternative systems of logic that can be controlled by people who are adding value, not by people who are using the system to manipulate others. With inventions like this, these inventions of abundance, the idea of world peace is not actually a dream but a very possible reality."

I was wondering what people thought of her ideas on inventions like Bitcoin leading to the attainability of world peace. What do you think?

Here's the full interview, if you're curious - click!

Opposite, I think Bitcoin could bring about world war.  Grin
