You can bow before the state or die in it's prisons / the street to it's enforcers. If you want otherwise, you must use enough force to prevent it.

The use of force is by it's nature a governmental action, since the only thing governments can actually do is use force. So, small government, big, whatever it is, remaining free demands that you act to control a government. That's not what voting is anymore, but it is what it was intended to be.

Bitcoiners who fail to understand this will either be consumed by the state, or be able to shelter under the protection of bitcoiners who do. Bitcoiners who do not merely pay the miners to use force to secure the network through PoW, but also pay soldiers to use force against any who would violate their freedoms, and vote through their wallet or their ballot over what those freedoms even are.
