"Dead men tell no tales" means dead men don't break promises. The implication of this idiom is that violence gives people zero-trust control over people & property. There is no such thing as zero-trust control over ppl/property w/o violence. Peace is merely a state of high trust.
What people misunderstand is that they assume violence must be kinetic. This has never been true.
I argue, an act qualifies as violence if it presens a credible threat of harm. Doesn't have to be physical harm. Can be social, emotional, or financial harm.

The fundamental tension between peace & violence is that trust, itself, is an exploitable security vulnerability. Peace is a state of high trust, but higher states of trust are more vulnerable to exploitation that need to be resolved via violence.
Thus, war is inevitable.

#BTC is revolutionary b/c it gives Sapiens an outlet to solve that tension non-lethally, at least as it applies to money.
We create zero-trust & ruthlessly egalitarian control over money using electric power, not kinetic power.
