The state will always exist.
Bitcoin is playing the pivotal role of bringing it down to size by removing the power of the fiat money printer.
One can rightly criticize the state without deluding oneself into thinking it will disappear entirely.

As long as herd morality exists, the State will exist, because the herd wants to be governed.
Herd morality, is driven by fear, conformity, and the desire for security over freedom. It values obedience, equality, and the suppression of individual excellence in favour of collective stability. The State is simply the external structure that manifests from these values... it exists because people crave order, rules, and authority to tell them what to do.
That’s what the peasants thought about the supremacy of the Catholic Church. The “State” of their day.
To think otherwise would have seemed foolish and naive.

See any correlation? 🧐
Hi alan! The state will never disappear. Maybe it will evolve into other forms of domination and control but there will always be those who will have power over the masses. Bitcoin is a first piece of a revolution that can last for centuries. Hitting money is the first step. ⚡️😉🧡
Stop! Your nuance is rendering the propaganda too ineffective!!
Paraphrasing Ursula Le Guin: We live in statism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.
