You can’t fix anything politically if the government can just print money. The only way to bring about libertarian small government is to defund the government by taking away the money printer.

The government can print an infinite amount of money, but they can only ever obtain a limited amount of value that way. Why should a Libertarian worry about a government obtaining 5 sextillion dollars in monopoly money?

The government can print an infinite amount of dollars, when bitcoin becomes the money they can no longer print "money" making them beholden to tax payers and giving the power back to the people which naturally reduces government size drastically forcing government to focus on a few key issues resulting in libertarianism.

Bitcoin has nothing to do with that. printing money steals from the GDP, and the GDP is limited by US citizens. If US citizens stop working then the sum total value in all US dollars drops. None of that requires Bitcoin. You don't need Bitcoin to have leverage over the government.

The general population moving away from printable money to sound money defunds the money printer by taking away the purchasing power of the dollars they print and accelerating the demise of the dollar and thereby removing the governments ability to spend beyond their means

The money printer is already limited and the government can be defunded without Bitcoin just by reducing the GDP or by refusing to accept government jobs.
