Let's say we have two similar countries. One is named Fiat and uses a money printer. The other country is named Bitcoin and uses a bitcoin standard.

Now let's say that Fiat goes to war against Bitcoin, and it spans 1-2 years.

Both countries can raise taxes and/or offer war bonds. Let's say they do that and each country gets something like $1 trillion dollars-worth of spending. However, Fiat can print a bunch more money - let's say another $1 trillion worth.

Fiat now has $2 trillion to spend on their war efforts. And, Bitcoin has $1 trillion to spend on defenses.

Doesn't it mean that Fiat would win the war?

Sure, after a few years Fiat's citizens might be pissed because their purchasing power has decreased significantly. But, the war has been won and now Fiat takes over Bitcoin and gains all its resources and passes laws that people can't own bitcoin.

Am I missing something? How does a country with a bitcoin standard defend itself against countries with money printers?
