Agreed. Which is why modern states don't give absolute power to the legislature. It's not just a democracy, but a demcratic republic, which means power is distributed between the legislature, judiciary and the executive. (Theoretically, as this wouldn't be the case in dysfunctional states.)

The aspiration for libertarians should be a world where the latter two institutions protect the life, liberty and property of the country's citizens.

Having a legislature gives the people the ability to legally overthrow those who make the law once every few years. It is a liberal system, but has been subject to abuse primarily because of the fiat monetary system. Bitcoin fixes this.

In my opinion, Nostr, Bitcoin and the internet as a whole can enable a libertarian world because they enable free speech, voluntary exchange, better firms, propety rights and stronger formation of contracts between people.

If or how that will happen is the role and responsibility we have to take upon ourselves. 🫂

I agree with you 100% that Bitcoin, nostr, and the internet will allow humanity to attain more freedom! The sovereign individual thesis is great! 🫂
