And yet you are describing two contradictory systems. One which relies on the permission of the state and the other which does not. Voting does nothing to secure bitcoin.

Wow it doesn't? I thought that was part of the white paper.
I'm not sure what is complicated about this. I use better money - Bitcoin. It exists like a force of nature. It doesn't need my vote. But I do also vote for politicians who will promote my better money.
What happens when KYC is mandated on all transactions and a unrealized gains tax is levied relative to yearly returns?
Guillotines? Idk. You don't have any more of a plan then I do. At least I'm trying to support people who won't do that.
My point is white market bitcoin is no different than voting for better dollars. You have to be willing to use bitcoin without permission (black market) in order to gain it's main value prop (tax avoidance)
The better the tools become, and the more people who transact + mine, the less the risk of punishment becomes.
