Well, we have the same goals, at least. Whatever gets us there...

I don't think borders are the foundation of a country. Or, a good country, rather. Let's say "state" - a country is a self similar geographical area. The foundation of the North Korean state is its borders - they're trapped in there. A better foundation would be community. The best foundation is voluntary community. Voluntary community is capitalism. Involuntary community is communism. There's nothing voluntary about borders.

My original note was meant to be more abstract than this. Bitcoin offers perfect property rights in Bitcoin only. But if you want to buy something without being robbed by the state, then you need private and secure delivery methods. I think the biggest thing we could do to move to a stateless society, other than using bitcoin, is to develop discreet logistics. Liberating the movement of goods will go a long way towards liberating people.

I dunno. The border is what delineates my property from yours. Where my rights end and yours begin. I think that's pretty foundational to any organization, or individual. The voluntary nature predicating the border's establishment is what makes it just or unjust.

Regardless we do have the same goals. I am more a fan of slowly making the state obsolete over violent revolution. And in my estimation no sovereign control over the state's borders would bring a revolution very quickly. Bitcoin is the way to move incentives toward freedom and we are well on our way.🫡
