I understand the philosophy, I'm asking people to recognize the physics. If the majority of Bitcoin activity is inside the banking establishment (primarily "a reserve currency"), then they are running the most nodes, coordinating with the most miners, defining the rules. They're patient, capable, careful, and have no interest in individual adoption of a reserve currency. Your taxes will be paid in CBDC, and the exchange rate from non-Bank UTXOs will be a pittance.
Discussion
Can we agree that you're still measuring all the physics in dollars?
No. I'm measuring it in obligations. You're hearing fiat, but that isn't the same thing. Bitcoin maximalism won't make property, or taxes, or militaries, or force disappear.
Ah I see our problem. I have no problem envisioning a purely voluntary anarcho- capitalist society that provides all those services under consensual payments (in Bitcoin).
Yea, sure, if you say "someone with a gun will make you pay in fiat" then sure, you win unless I'm a quicker draw and better shot.
