I see where you are going. We just have to disagree.
Jason's work at Space Force (I have read Softwar, twice - great read) has the picture of a deer antlers on the front cover of his thesis. This represents the idea that #Bitcoin is antlers for humans.
Interestingly, humans are the only species (other than monkeys) that kill their own for property/mating rights (you can add in their political power too - but that's just property rights).
Deer fight until the antlers break, and the buck that loses walks away - they don't kill. Even bears don't kill each other.
Jason is making the point that in order to have a war (killing others) you need a GAIN in resources or it makes no sense. Bitcoin make it more costly to go to war than to have kinetic war for property rights (gain). This basically makes kinetic war obsolete.
He deep dives into cell division, and many other aspects of life to make the point.
SO - when you mention 'bitcoin as a weapon' that's not actually accurate. It's a weapon of peace by making property rights indisputable - ELIMINATING the need for war/most other weapons.
It's not quite this simple, the book explores deep avenues. But that's the general idea.
