We've been bashing governments all around the world in this ecosystem, but I feel there is one thing we could add that would enhance perspective in the debate.

Governmenting is *really* hard. 🤷🏽

As a successful government, you need to perform the functions of government while maintaining the people's indisputable right to speak, right for ownership and the right to perform those rights privately.

The question we as bitcoiners are raising is, whether that task is impossible under broken incentives. And that's why we're spending our time and energy promoting and building a system that solves many of those incentives by adjusting the underlying fundamental driver of those incentives.

I heard nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z talk about the proportion of complainers to problemsolvers. It's fascinating to witness how different that ratio is within the bitcoin ecosystem compared to outside of.

nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak is probably my strongest follow on why government is unnecessary, but I must admit I havnt realized how that is possible. Every thought experiment I've done for myself ends up with government sooner or later. Some things are just easier from a centralised perspective. I'm very open to being convinced otherwise on this point. I love the idea, I just don't know how it would work.
