And what I'm saying is 98% of the people who say Bitcoin separate the money and state means it separate monetary policy from the state. Not any and all economic transaction. Taxation on transactions using money is a different issue.
Discussion
Is it though?
Yes lol
Elaborate, pls
Taxation is a coercive transaction. It does not imply control over money itself. I'm not sure how I could elaborate further. One is the issue of the control over a thing and the other an issue over the control over people.
Bitcoin can separate monetary policy and state but it cannot separate economic activity and state... because both are different issues.
Nobody serious means the latter when mentioning the separation of state and money.
I got that, and I hear your point, and I think we're in alignment... Yes, bitcoin is a thing and no one controls it. I've stated that. You've stated that. We agree here. And we both agree on the coercive nature of the state and its policy.
What I think we differ on is whether the glass is half empty or full.
