I believe money is superordinate to law. So I disagree when you say the incentive structure of democracy (government) is the root cause. I believe destroying fiat completely realigns the idea of government to be smaller, more cooperative, and based on libertarian ideals. I agree that the only solution is abolishing the state. Bitcoin is the only tool we have to do that. I don’t agree with your idea of a government operating on a Bitcoin standard but continuing to perpetuate the government evils that exist today. Basically the idea that they can successfully co-opt Bitcoin. If Bitcoin stays decentralized and secure, these systems are incompatible. The state will have to try and kill Bitcoin. And when it does, it will fail at doing so. Then, a winding down of the state can happen. Yes, what lies on the other side of that partly depends on the values people hold. But in a world where people hold their private keys, we have inverted the power balance with the state in favor of the individual. I just find there to be a lot of nihilism in libertarianism. I believe Bitcoin is THE tool that gives libertarian ideals a chance. Libertarianism is nothing without Bitcoin.

Let's agree to disagree then 🀝 Bitcoin and Liberty are complimentary to each other. Perhaps we can settle on that. I highly recommend reading this book though: https://mises.org/library/book/new-liberty-libertarian-manifesto Its influence and quality is comparable to Saifedean's excellent Bitcoin Standard. Folks like Murray Rothbard and Hans-Hermann Hoppe have had and continue to have a lot of influence on many, many Bitcoiners. I highly recommend exploring their work, especially if you're someone who likes thinking about what politics, economics and law will look like on a Bitcoin standard. It will be worth your time.
