Governments are not the people. Nation states are horrible. Stalin could never have existed in a municipality.
Jay, stop trolling.
I think everybody is on drugs tonight. Is it?
Not everyone needs drugs to reach that level, even smarter to realise its near disaster for some to partake in those additives when they are already 100% proof. Alot of creative types go down a horrible road when they fail to understand this about themselves I always think its a waste.
Regarding, why many of us are into bitcoin, that is likely going to vary too... I understand that bitcoin has a lot of libertarian origins, but that mere fact does not mean that everyone subscribes to the seemingly vacuous anti-government views of that many libertarians seem to spout out in criticizing the current system. Sure, there are problems with the current system, but merely getting rid of government does not seem like it is going to solve as many problems as it causes.
Furthermore, we might not even need to bring politics in the discussion at all in order to see benefits in bitcoin
Politics dominates economics now so its slightly impossible to avoid some convergence of those topics. The dollar reserve system (globally) is subverted by its black hole centralisation to an overly powerful government force that has no limits to its budget and has lost a need to justify itself to its people or other nations. Not that Im against this particular government or either side of the aisle but that the system itself is off kilter is increasingly not beneficial. That is ingrained in Bitcoin I think, I dont see how you can be long term involved and not have noticed that at some time or another. Its generally true that the common working man is becoming poorer for the same work done, central government is becoming larger with greater debt. Theres a noticeable trend occurring not really reliant on personal opinion or bias.
Capitalism is not centralised and does not have this bias to serve government as its arbiter. Ultimately it should represent competitive free markets, where success is determined by innovation and efficiency. Getting rid of government would not be the same as requiring it to be justified and hold a balance sheet capable of surplus. Wherever you stand its dangerous that government is incapable of returning a surplus right now, it must be capable of this to repay a debt and if it cant repay a debt then its not crypto who will pose any threat but government itself will collapse inwards. I suggest standing well back and do not be reliant on something failing this badly even if it makes you sad to see it, I think its quite inevitable.
Central planning is dangerous and not antifragile
Not even a political view, its probably provable in engineering and all kinds of different subjects. True as a general principle. Politics is a diverse subject, its the luxury of an advanced society true since the Ancient Greek system but we risk losing that freedom and diversity if the system fails so badly because people would not tolerate alternatives and competition was deemed dangerous.
Some comparison views.
