Bitcoin is not so powerful as that. Power is rooted in the credible threat of physical harm. Always has been, always will be. Not in code.
This is why bitcoin finds it so hard to deal with the wrenc...
Power is the threat of force, but you're stuck in an old paradigm. The authors of "Unrestricted Warfare" understood that modern power isn't just wrenches; it's financial, cryptographic, and network-based.
A wrench can take your gold without a fight. It can't take Bitcoin from a multi-sig vault enforced by a global network without your consent where a simple “NO” can render an attack futile. The wrench attack actually proves Bitcoin's strength because it forces a shift from ‘physical’ defense to ‘cryptographic’ defense.
Therefore, the ultimate power isn't the wrench; it's building a system where the wrench is obsolete. That's the new warfare, and Bitcoin is its native weapon.
