Here's how people used to end war: http://www.cbc.ca/archives/categories/war-conflict/vietnam-war/seeking-sanctuary-draft-dodgers/we-refused-to-go-the-antiwar-movement-in-canada-and-the-us.html

Try not letting the government send you to war. The problem is when people see their flag fluttering in the breeze, they start thinking about mom serving up her apple pie and tearing up because their great gran pappy fought in the last war they succumb to peer pressure and start killing. Bitcoin can't end wars - education can. Dumbass hillbillies living in the heartland are too stupid to use Bitcoin and they're too stupid to see that their government is about to kill them for no reason.

One group of people thinking they're better than another group of people has a bit to do with it too I reckon. Yep.

Governments don't have a monopoly on war.

Of course they do. War, by definition, is one government trying to kill another government.

If you're not going to take the half hour to actually learn something, shut your ignorant mouth.

Where there is vested interest, conflicts will begin. War is just another form of such events.

We can't have local bitcoin face to face transactions without someone trying to off the other guy.

How the hell are we supposed to avoid wars?

Catchy slogan. It's good, since no other currency can currently say it. But of course, if Bitcoin is mass adopted, war and violence will start to occur. Nice slogan, though.

How? War is incredibly expensive. If governments cannot inflate currency to fund wars their ability to launch them is limited. Thre is no way to finance a major war in a bit coin universe.

A minor war is still a war, or a 'regular' war. It doesn't have to be necessarily major is what I'm getting at. Hell, it might be a war against the government (Rebellion). And not to mention, if it's adopted, the GOVERNMENTS - yes, I'm writing this in caps - WILL MOST LIKELY GO TO WAR AGAINST EACH OTHER.

That's not the dumbest thing I've heard on here but it ranks pretty high up there.

This. I give you props for idealism but OP, you are not being realistic. No one needed the 'military industrial complex' to promote wars since dawn of time. It's a cheap excuse for those with need to shift blame.

One of the sneakier aspects of bit coin is the potential to shut down the war machines. That is the true value. Future wealth is a nice bonus though.
Correct, world peace is the much bigger prize to be won with the mass adoption of crypto over nation-state war-funding scrip.

Title should read, "abandon fiat scrip, end all war".

Buy a Bit Coin save a life would be a nice one as well.

Should consider nagging http://www.peaceoneday.org/ to accept bitcoin donations.
Lynx/Axe are partnered with them for the Peace deodorant.
Not exactly sure what they do, draw attention to the possibility of world peace mostly, I guess.

Use A Crypto Currency, End A War

Morality follows function and Bitcoin has made selective divestment a lot more functional.
