β€œAll that good government can do to improve the material well-being of the people is to establish and to preserve an institutional order in which there are no obstacles to the progressing accumulation of new capital required for the improvement of technological methods of production. This is what capitalism did achieve in the past and will achieve in the future too if not sabotaged by a bad policy.”

Ludwig von Mises, 1950.

notice that government acquires no capital but merely protects the conditions under which incentive alignment can happen freely.

It's sad to know how much money and energy is wasted by governments in slowing down or stopping human and economic progression. Bitcoin fixes this and I hope we will see a better future soon.

We will win, it's a matter of survival. Also, an oppressive government requires an insane amount of resources to suppress it's people, it's just not an efficient system.

So, as long as humans desire a better life for themselves and offspring, bad government can't sustain itself long term.
