I get the impression you think crony capitalism is capitalism, when they're not the same. Not bashing around, I'm just curious as to what your position is in this story, and what you expect of bitcoin.
For me Bitcoin is freedom from controls, and freedom to exchange globally.. If you trade to make rich, you can do, right, but if we trade to build a cooperative society, we can do, also. Bitcoin could be better, but more of less is neutral between capitalist and anarchist punt of view. It depends how do you use it..
We, in the Cooperativa integral catalana, not are going to use bitcoin internally because we have better aproach to do it (social currencies, direct exchange, reciprocity, and others) but bitcoin its so better from bankers money to be used externally to trade with other coops and people of the world.

Well, that's the kind of capitalism many libertarians believe in.
So... welcome to capitalism, Enric
¿Has leído a Félix Rogrigo Mora? Él también llama capitalismo al concepto de capitalismo depredador de concentración (en mi opinión de forma equivocada) pero muchos de sus preceptos se adaptan perfectamente al ideario ancap voluntarista y cooperativista. Un modelo de macroestado socialista o comunista no es posible cuando la gente puede llevar a cabo el grueso de sus transacciones de forma completamente independiente al Estado, y fuera de su control. En cierto modo un macroestado es incompatible con un alto nivel de libertad económica.
Un saludo.
