The reason for the "lets work with regulators " attitude is because they believe the price of Bitcoin will increase dramatically. Also know as - to hell with the project let me feather my own nest. Avalon customers seem to have the same attitude if you read that thread.
All I am going to say is people are quite happy to sacrifice a chance at freedom for their short term gain. Basically no different to bankers or politicians and if they destroy bitcoin with it - they don't care.
Now a battle is being fought on two fronts - the insanity continues.
You mean, not a chance, but an experiment in freedom.
The necessary regulations for it are already in place. So whatever you do, governments won't control your bitcoin, but the laws are already made up so they don't have to.
The only reason to get rid of this problem would in fact usurping a government (Which then will be replaced by another, variation of government, doing the same shit).
I propose something far more interesting than that:
I propose a law demurrage. I propose, that after a set number of years, be it ten, be it twenty, all laws loose their value. They have an expiry date. All people who have been in that time, part of the government (Parliament, senate, whatever), are then retired and allowed to be retirees for the rest of their life. And at the same time, never allowed to become members of government ever again.
This would create something I would call a fail well system. You see, Bruce Schneier said that instead of creating a system that does not fail, a system that fails well will be more useful.
All the problems that one generation of politicians sees but is overruled on, will be solved by simply force retiring laws and politicians alike. Real stability does not exist. The EU and similar democratic governments have created systems that simply decay more slowly than before. The absence of intra-EU war has led to systems dying more slowly than before. But the arrogance comes at the point where we say "things are different now, we will stay stable!" Instead of riding this wave of arrogance, I propose creating a system that ultimately has no choice but to fail and be replaced.
The basics would have to be set in stone as a matter of human rights and agree upon by a majority. For every single law, we would manifest that right. Anything else expires and needs to be replaced. Let us introduce laws into the realm of the real world, where things break and are not forever.
That is what I propose. Instead of creating anarchism, which will stabilize in some form of government anyway at some point, instead of creating a long term always stable system that at some point will turn against its own citizens, because it always has and always will, let us create set points for the systems to be extinct, reliably, and be replaced with with something new, more appropriate, with a more modern understanding.
I think this might the most radical and useful way to create a governmental system.
