No Bitcoin is NOT a weapon, its a freedom money for the world. Bitcoin is a digital currency and a decentralized network for transferring value. It is a tool for financial transactions and store of value, much like traditional money. However, like any tool, how it is used depends on the intentions and actions of individuals. Bitcoin can be used for legal and legitimate purposes, such as buying goods and services or investing, but it can also be misused for illegal activities if individuals choose to do so. It's essential to understand that Bitcoin itself is neutral, and its use as a "weapon" or for any other purpose is determined by its users.
However, you might also want to consider checking:

Debt traps, currency manipulation, sanctions, seizure, bribery, economic coercion...these I'd describe as actions that weaponize money, made possible by centralization, which bitcoin mostly does away with via decentralization that separates money from state, and what we traditionally view as a court is represented by the protocol which enforces the fixed rules without question, without permission, without impairment, and with transaction finality.
Obviating the conceptual stuff, bitcoin is:
open source software arranged to make a decentralized protocol, which uses a digital asset on a transparent payment network.
My personal view is that bitcoin is decentralized money, with fixed monetary properties, and fixed liberties. They're related, but not the same. It's how bitcoin (the protocol) manages their relationship that makes it so special.
Can it be weaponized? Sure, not your keys, not your coins. But a choice now exists. That's the important part.

No.
Is a tool to make obsolete govs and banksters.
Bitcoin is a peace tool, not a weapon. Wars will be obsolete also in a full Bitcoin world.

I agree with you, Bitcoin is the Peaceful revolution. But can you explain why there're plenty of bitcoiners armed? fear?

Loads of reasons to bear arms that don't have anything to do with Bitcoin. Plenty of reasons that do

Being armed with a gun is not war. Is protection.
If you know that I have a gun, you will not come to me to try to steal my bitcoins....
