I agree with the post, and yet I can’t wrap my head around why you can’t see that a government is an unavoidable consequence of hierarchy.

Anarchic ideals are great for those who have high moral principles and values, but it also turns on itself when entering the realm of morality, because you need a firm belief that all those surrounding you have those same principles… it’s not just as simple as "END THE GOVERNMENT."

I wish it was.

This was true before Bitcoin. Now we are in uncharted territory because the logic of violence has changed. The mechanisms for centralized wealth extraction, which the state needs to survive, are broken by the decentralized cryptographic force that is Bitcoin. This is such a a fundamental paradigm shift that even many bitcoiners don't fully grasp the implications. We are like newborns getting our first glimpse of a new world.

But explain to me how that = no government…

Bitcoin changes power dynamics but doesn’t change neurological brain chemistry, you can’t just abandon the notion such as dominance hierarchy with a protocol, it doesn’t work like that.
