Other ppl have offered more informed thought $ (imho Vietnam not a consideration) Bitcoin Origin was expression of an antistatist ideology ‘tyrant free’ and ‘non-state money’. Essential for Bitcoin’s initial value and its early survival.https://twitter.com/kubakostecki/status/1040252195919159296 …
I didn't say the Vietnam war was what inspired Bitcoin, what I was trying to say is that it has an important historical role. The war was the final nail in the coffin that pushed the US off the Gold standard, which created the international fiat currencies system we know today.

Had the world remained on a Gold standard, the subsequent financial crises would unlikely to happen or happen at the same scale. Fiat-induced financial crises provided the perfect political environment to launch something like Bitcoin.
