The seperation of money and state doesn't mean an instant destruction of the state.

It means taking the power to manipulate money out of the hands of the government.

Certainly the state can enact laws that help or harm bitcoin, but they can't fundamentally change it's characteristics.

That's the separation.

Why is that the separation?

Why go half way when you could go all the way and destroy the state as it exists today and institute a new version of the state?

I contend you cannot retrofit hard money into a fiat system. It’s not possible. The incentives are misaligned and they’ll just try their fiat games on a system where it doesn’t work.

If I’m right (maybe I’m not right but no-one is arguing this point against me) then why are we just giving the same parasites our system so they can fuck that up too?
