As nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 said, we are winning, but we haven’t won.
#Bitcoin is making money debasement obsolete.
#nostr is making information censorship obsolete.
But the state still has the monopoly of violence. We still need to make that obsolete somehow. Only then we’ll have the absolute power.
That might be unthinkable now, but so was Bitcoin a few years ago. Keep pushing #FreedomTech further!
How can a technology make the state's monopoly on violence obsolete?
In my opinion the best response I've seen to any state monopoly on violence is the US Second Amendment.
I guess 3d printed guns are a technology built around this same principle of empowering non-state actors to arm themselves. If everyone were armed, no one could have a monopoly on violence.
Is that the kind of freedom tech you had in mind?
Honestly I have no idea. But 16 years ago I also had no idea of how a technology could make money debasement impossible.
But to answer your question, no, this is not what I had in mind. I don’t mean fight back. I mean something that would make us immune to state violence just as Bitcoin makes us immune to money debasement or nostr makes us immune to censorship.
