It&#39;s a clearer reframing of libertarianism in that liberty is the default human condition, controlling others is what&#39;s abnormal and unnatural. In almost every area of your life, your interactions with others are based on voluntary and mutual consent. But not with government (or their appointed monopolies).&#xA;&#xA;If government services are valuable then force, coercion, and violence are not necessary to serve customers, right?&#xA;&#xA;Government gives itself a monopoly on violence in a geographic region. This violence exists to protect the rights and property of others... by violating their rights. It&#39;s all such a downward and destructive spiral. Especially as the state grows in power and continues to extort more from its citizens.&#xA;&#xA;Anyway, #bitcoin fixes this by making governments ask nicely for tax money (inflation / devaluing the currency is no longer an option with a fixed 21 million supply) and respect their citizens. If they don&#39;t, Bitcoin allows them to leave with their wealth stored in their head as they travel to greener (more free) pastures.&#xA;&#xA;I&#39;m sure there&#39;s more to add, but this might help provide a decent answer to the question.&#xA;&#xA;Pura vida! ✌️🤙 #liberty #libertarian #asknostr</html></oembed>
