You mentioned it and it got me to thinking that the Internet and therefore bitcoin is a product of the pax americana. Once the era of relative global peace ends, it's likely that the Internet as we know it will also end, and so something like bitcoin may not really be practical.
Look at the effects of the great firewall of china, and imagine if every country or bloc of countries had their own similar firewall to keep their data inside their country or bloc. Or if there was a lot more war, and the limitations where communication would be one of the first things cut thus limiting data travelling physically.
The fediverse would survive I think, but it too would be cut along national or bloc lines.
