We can lessen those casualties by working hard to defund the military (which is a multi pronged endeavour).
For instance, I have no problem paying taxes for social services. I have a major ethical problem with my tax dollars being used to fund military action. Bitcoin is not the only piece of the crypto puzzle but if I could keep my assets out of the hands of the US government, I would do it for purely ethical reasons.
Ok, defund the US military now what? China or Russia has a stronger military and guess who is controlling our interests now.
What you’re proposing is that Bitcoin needs a massive shift in thought that overthrows all forms of militarized government. Possible? Maybe but highly unlikely without millions of people dying.
The new Bitcoin power would also need its own military to do this. So we’re back at square one or where we are today.
That is unless you think Bitcoin is also the answer to world peace which seems even more far fetched.
I do see the toppling of the US government having a domino effect on other powerful nations. If the systems are in place to end US imperialism, those same systems can be used by citizens of other oppressive regimes.
I said very clearly at the start that Bitcoin alone will not bring peace. It's one piece of the puzzle to get us off our current government. People are going to die either way, I'm just done using my money to pay for bombs to kill people that have nothing to do with me.
