WW1 and WW2 were a tremendous waste of life and the worst part? They were completely pointless. https://blossom.primal.net/3fbaeacfdadbdbafc63e16216d98ade337579efe3140e5ca3c250d522d2c218e.jpg

Not pointless from the perspective of resource control and monetary restructuring. WWI broke the gold standard, WWII cemented dollar dominance under Bretton Woods. The pattern repeats: sound money → trade → military expansion → debasement → conflict. The tragedy is the human cost paid to advance this cycle. What breaks the pattern — voluntary sound money adoption or collapse?
