I am open to being corrected or refuted about this view:

I approach Libertarianism the same way I approach Bitcoin and Hinduism.

In their proper sense,

•They can only be adopted voluntarily.

•People are free to not believe in them, as exit is optional.

•There's no leader that is enforcing rules.

•They can be interpreted in various ways.

•But the systems don't deny the existence of 'truth'.

•Truth is arrived at through debate, discussion and argumentation in various ways through different journeys.

But because of their open and leaderless nature, people who don't understand them can interpret them 'improperly' or 'incorrectly' and still call themselves a proponent of the system.

And that's okay.

It won't hurt the system itself in any way.

understanding bitcoin has led me to better understand how theists see atheists

Hahaha yeah I can understand

Bitcoin is a bit different than the other two, because there is an actual system with lockstep consensus on rules and events. The other two are not like that; everything is open to debate even if there may be a pretty strong overall consensus on central doctrines.

Yeah that's a good point.

I suppose I erred in considering Bitcoin as purely an idea rather than an actual system with real rules that one must abide by to he a part of the system.

Thanks for point this out!
