Bitcoin is the convergence of energy and money. To say that whoever has the cheapest and most abundant energy is at an advantage is putting it lightly.

Large scale wars are already waged over energy resources. When the need for energy is literally tied to your economic standing in the world then I don’t see a situation where war isn’t a likely outcome.

And that’s only the energy side of things. This doesn’t even mention the need for hardware to mine which is another industry that seems prone to conflict already.
