Bitcoin is frequently misunderstood in this regard.
It's the most anarcho-capitalist system ever invented, WITHIN the network itself. Property rights are absolute, defined by Math.
But OUTSIDE of itself, Bitcoin is just another open-source project, which is effectively anarcho-communist. It's a collective of worker-volunteers who make decisions as a group.
Even if you can "own" a Bitcoin in a way you could never own anything before, Bitcoin itself is "owned" by no one. There's the paradox!

So, unless adoption had taken off, and there‘d be millions of nodes and miners, the project is extremely vulnerable. One could say, people didn’t get it, thus it failed?
