I agree with privatization being the goal but how do you plan to accomplish privatization? What methods?
You say no person, group, or technology can fix it. And that Bitcoin can’t either. So what’s the plan?
Because I see Bitcoin the technology, the individuals adopting it, and that larger group as being the only viable option to reduce government monopoly.

Libertarian ideas are the solution to the problem of government. Spreading them, convincing people of them and being radical in communicating about them.
Technology is neutral by nature. If people who adopt Bitcoin are all statists, then the change they bring about won't look all that different from what we have right now, except that they will be the new batch of cronies.
Btw, so that you get where I'm coming from:
I do hold the view that sound money, especially Bitcoin, can enable more freedom for individuals.
I'm talking of the problems that arise from the monopolistic nature of government and the consequences caused by such a monopoly. Addressing the root cause is what I was doing.
I wasn't being dismissive of Bitcoin's potential impact. You'd have probably noticed that it was a rhetorical statement.
