I was thinking more about how to enforce that as a reality given the crytographic security advantages of this currency over, well, a bank that can be forcer by the governent to freeze a person's account, of whom hasnt been paying their taxes.

Effectively, how do you see this working is what i am more about asking

Oh I see.

Well, it’ll be trickier for sure. But how do governments enforce this today? If you don’t pay, prison, property seizure, etc. bitcoin won’t remove that possibility where there are laws and states.

Btw, not saying that should happen or be an advocate for that! Just saying technically they would use laws and law enforcement to enforce, even if they couldn’t actually obtain your bitcoin.

Well, it is potentially easier to launder bitcoin and even easier to do huge transactions to circumvent normal payment techniques (of today, e.g. credit cards) with Monero.

My point or question rather is how you will account for the effective loss or large(r) degree of loss of the state's effective involvement in peoples' finanicla lives.

You say you are a progressive? Consent is one of the most important principles most progressives share. So if someone is acting against my consent he or she abuses my right to integrity.

Why should it be okay that a group of people is "legitimised" to act against my consent? How is that progressive? Don't you think it's criminal?

The solution will be outside the box. Not by retorting to old paradigms, old dialectic concepts.

We will need to grow our consciousness and be able to contain the whole spectrum within us.

How do you enforce something if you don't know who they are, how much they sent, or who received it?

This is made even more difficult, if not impossible, with private crypto like Monero or any privacy layers that may come to Bitcoin. Ecash already does this (although it is custodial)
