how would that benefit the banking system?
bitcoin undermines the influence of the banking system by removing them from global transactions.
the mercantile class will be incentivized to make international transactions using bitcoin at a better transaction cost than banks offer.
the international bank must dominate the mercantile class to prevent the adoption and spread of bitcoin, but game theory suggests inevitable expansion of bitcoin, so long as there are goods and services to be exchanged beyond the reach of the economic control networks.
if less people mine bitcoin, mining bitcoin will be more lucrative, so as the international banking system prevents the conversion of electricity to bitcoin, it will become more and more profitable to mine, so at a certain point the risk will be taken because the reward is too great, this is a self-sustaining feedback loop that contributes to the continuation of bitcoin.
the "win condition" of the international banking system is to control all energy production and goods and services so that they can maintain the fiat system.
bitcoin is incentivized by unused excess energy, nations and individuals have excess energy that they can use to generate value through bitcoin mining. production of the asset is no longer solely in the hands of "the mint" or "the mine" but now production capacity is universalized and decentralized. and encrypted digital security that is more difficult to steal than any other asset assuming it's in a cold wallet and off the exchange or staking pools.
on an international game theory level, at a moment of weakness of the international banking system, nations will be incentivized to "go rogue" and use bitcoin for trade.
then we approach Thucydides' trap from the greek general and writer.
the dominant power must wage war against the rising power before the rising power becomes dominant.
