- You take away the government's power to confiscate your money remotely (they can always take it by force)
- You take away the government's power to know what you have (CoinJoin + Lightning)
- You take away the state’s power to create money
- You take away the state’s power to decide what to do with your money and who you can send it to
And you expect the state to do nothing to fix this? If you had understood the power Bitcoin holds, you would have realized that the state will do everything in its power to make Bitcoin fail—if necessary, it will even buy off your mother.
You should have guarded Bitcoin as if it were a nuclear weapon, not as if it were mere software where idiots tinker with its code.
