Anarchism describes my view set, and I’m around that age cohort.

My Bitcoin maximalism isn’t about me though, it’s not about my finances - I’m doing quite well in fiat and whilst yes property is ridiculous now and an impossibility for many of my friends, it’s not for me.

My maximalism comes from a desire to separate money and state. I see that as the only means to end the excesses of big government (authoritarianism), severely restrict war, and force economic behaviour to return to productive ends rather than rampant speculation and leeching. For me, this is the epoch defining goal of this time (on par with separating church and state) where multiple cycles are colliding and new order is being born.

I also don’t expect I’m going to find myself in some anarchist state. Quite the contrary, I expect we’re going to see more authoritarianism generally so I’m seeking to geoarbitrage not just my money, but the legal systems and policing that I’m going to be subjected to under no illusion that I’m going to change these things. Ironically the supposed “free” western liberal democracies are likely to be the worst locations, I see more freedom in communist Vietnam or Bukele’s totalitarian El Salvador than I do in my home country of Australia where they’ve become so nanny statist and so fascistic that they’re using the countries wealth specifically to restrict personal liberties now.

Nor do I see this as inevitable in Mike’s frame. What is inevitable is this current unipolar system will die and a multipolar order will replace it, todays fiat currencies will consolidate and I see Bitcoin emerging as a supranational economic pole in this new order.

Your country mix is maybe 25% of how this is likely to go, game theory dictates those who *need* bitcoin will adopt it differently than those who opportunistically adopt it for diversification / economic growth. Throw in nostr as the bitcoin economy and it could go in a ton of different directions but if you work off the idea of polarities and also understand the current order of nation states is highly unlikely to be the status quo in 20 years much less 50 or 100, this view point will make more sense than Mike’s projected “Anarchists Anonymous” nonsense.
