Spending energy on bitcoin would replace the need for militaries?

No, nation states and their fiat currencies are locked into the bare metal layer of human relations and the only thing that matters is ability to legitimately threaten to kill humans and destroy infrastructure. (or an alliance with a country that has those capabilities)

Bitcoin is not a nationstate and doesn't have the weaknesses of nation states and their economic systems. It uses far less energy to establish and maintain itself.
