“But without taxes or a central bank how will we pay for genocide?”
Ideologue bitcoiners are so hopelessly dumb about this... Governments collected taxes just fine when everything was run on cash...
Il take it a step further; regardless of taxes, war can be a profitable venture on its on, assuming you win.
I dislike the simplistic 'btc defunds war' narrative, especially because it just does not do the matter justice.
Its a thorny issue, because the nature of armies can change, the type of warfare and its funding. That stuff has been in flux throughout history, whether its spain raising armies with their newly acquired gold from the new world, or France centralizing bureaucracy and forming citizen armies in responce to deal with it.
Frankly, whatever way shape or form, war appears to be eternal; it will find its way under a Bitcoin Standard just fine.
