I didn't embrace #Bitcoin to just exchange the fiat rat race for the next rat race.

As long as I don't escape governments overreach / abuse, I will still be in a rat race.

Funding stuff I don't agree upon.

Being robbed of my wealth.

I realize there is a balance between what you should expect to be in place to make life easier more luxurious etc compared to what amount of taxes you pay.

But I'm also 'free' to choose for the balances that are out there.

There are very few places with a small enough government that still manage to provide / allow an acceptable ( personal) way of living.

But the biggest factor is willingness to give up some of our unneeded luxuries and to put in the effort.

Freedom never came nor ever will be, for free.
