I don't want to make a big thing about it. It's late and I'm probably on drugs. But the idea is bottom-up, not top-down. Central planning is dangerous and not antifragile. I mean, isn't that why we're here in the first place?
I only mentioned that the government is composed of the people based on a seemingly impractical comment from Elwar regarding taking away guns from government and not from the people, so there seems to be some disconnection regarding what governments are, exactly.
I am not going to try to pinpoint what governments are exactly, because there is a lot of local variance, but the essence of government is supposed to be representative of the people.. so if you try to say take the guns away from government and not from people, the comment almost makes no sense, except for in some kind of irrational anti-government propaganda that tends to distort what the what the government is, which, like I said, is supposed to be representing people in a community, sense.
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.
Anyhow there can be a lot of reason why many of us believe that cryptos push in the right direction in terms of bottom-up as you say, and so we may agree on some of that, and government does not automatically mean that something is centrally planned because governments can still solve some problems that the free market might not be so good at solving. Furthermore, we might not even need to bring politics in the discussion at all in order to see benefits in bitcoin, whether personal prosperity and/or keeping checks on some of the inflationary money printing bullshit that goes on that ends up privileging the wealthy, so bitcoin can provide some opportunities for regular people to have a price appreciating asset that is much more difficult to manipulate as compared with fiat currencies... fiat currencies and governments are not going to be going away any time soon, even though they are likely going to need to adapt to some of the crazy ass seemingly more decentralized power that comes from bitcoin... and we have never had a technology that has fit into such a niche that is so likely to cause a lot of societal changes that are difficult to know in these early days, yet in these early days, some of us that might have fewer than 10 bitcoin, might well become very prosperous through the price appreciation of bitcoin in the coming 10 years, if we are so lucky to live that long and to be able to hang onto our bitcoins.
