politics - maybe, military - not necessarily, just an artifact of infancy of our civilization.

those things will become irrelevant to financial system based on bitcoin, which is good enough for me.

Just an artifact of all of human history.

I don't think there is any point in further discussion; we are simply living in two different realities. The military and the military industrial complex are not going anywhere, certainly not because of cryptocurrency, the notion is laughably absurd.

I'm not a fan of the current implementation of cryptocurrencies but you have a point here. Plenty of wars and armed takeovers have been driven by the prospect of accessing financial systems and therefore plenty of resources are spent to prevent that from happening.

if there's a chance to exclude them from the equation on security of financial system - it's a no brainer.
