governments can do what they want with their money. after all its their copyright..

bitcoin however is not a government product and they do not even own the mechanisms to make or control it..

Governments can be change if people understand that it's better for them not to give too much power to untrusted people.

Historically speaking, confident authority figures forbidding the use of a new technology generally doesn't turn out very well for the authority.

Until Bitcoin constitutes a significant portion of the money supply, the government will continue to dictate monetary policy.
If Bitcoin becomes widespread and there are bitcoin banks, then again the government has the means to influence monetary policy. So you definitely can't wish away the government.  Smiley

Nailed it on the head. I hear there are people who are working on a completely voluntary conflict resolution system that's kinda based on the Blockchain or something (I forget who) but the thing about "voluntary" is that you can ignore them and go to the federal courts anyhow. I think that's what a lot of Libertarians and anarchocapitalists ignore about the government. You can't wish it away and you can't just stick your head into the sand like an ostrich and ignore it. It's one of those cases where we need less talk and more action.

Getting government out of the money business would be ideal. Getting them out of most things would be even better.

Your country may be your worst enemy
Yes, you can.
This is what happens when a country doesn't have its own currency.

we don't need no monetary policy, just some oversight that the label does not lie, just like the govt does not sell food but makes sure the label on food packaging is correct!

anyone could issue anything as a monetary unit, it is called private money or free coinage; banks, companies, individuals, everyone could create their own money and offer it to the public (this could be cryptocurrencies, foreign currencies, metals, grains or just plain fiat notes)

mines would offer metals, naturally, oil companies petroleum product covered notes, farmer might offer a currency backed by grains (like Germany did after WW1) et cetera. paradise. no more fiat slavery, no more cheating and no more big government.

governments only job would be oversight

e.g. if silver coins from Walmart say 1 oz, they must contain 1 oz

then the Fed would just be one out of hundreds of money issuers!!! HAHAHA just joking, nobody would use their junk bills if they had a choice  Grin
