My meta point here, is those who think that the vast majority of people are going to support the dissolution of the modern welfare state, and embrace radical self-sovereignty, once they understand the truths of the fiat system or bitcoin, is just a crazy narrative that is ultimately just bereft of anything resembling critical thinking about the motivations and behavior that large social groups exhibit.

Even if, hyperbitcoinization were to happen, which it very well may not, I would not bet on sufficient numbers of people participating in the dissolution of the nation states in which they reside.

To the extent people look at this and say, it’s inevitable, given what they perceive as contradictions in the system, I would suggest they’re not looking at the whole system at all. They’re focused on this narrow slice of reality, and what they view as the basis of the state — money. Money and the state are certainly related concepts, and bitcoin challenges the nature of that relationship. But states exist because most people want them to.
