>>60504330The First World War is what ended the global gold standard era (1871-1914), and ushered in the age of fiat. All previous wars had been financed with gold reserves, and therefore usually had to be short in duration before ruining an economy. But for the first time nation states discovered that their populations would accept theft through inflation via fiat currency printing. This is what enabled the Great War to be so destructive and long lasting. Had the war been fought with gold reserves, it would have been over by Christmas 1915 because at least one side would have run out of gold. The Second World War was a vengeance war in response to the first. Once again, fiat currency was abused by all sides. All of this is to put into perspective that a hypothetical third world war would lead to trillions of dollars of printed fiat currency and explode the value of Bitcoin all the more rapidly. It’s not even a threat to Bitcoin, more of another case in point to its value.
