IRONIC

People gathering at a conference to promote democracy and Bitcoin and Bitcoin Privacy, not understanding that the greatest threat to Bitcoin and privacy is democracy is breathtakingly blind.

The number one force against Bitcoin is democracy. If the democratic governments were vanishingly small, who would be able or motivated to simultaneously threaten millions of Bitcoin users and violate their privacy (or bank users for that matter?)

No one.

No one in the market is incentivized to violate the privacy of millions of people other than the State. If you refuse to accept this, then you're living in a fantasy world, where solving problems is not your goal.

Yes. Democracy is not what I want. I want rule of a very limited law, upholding the individual’s right to his property, body and life. No voting is necessary for this

I hate the State!

"...the radical regards the State as our mortal enemy, which must be hacked away at wherever and whenever we can. To the radical libertarian, we must take any and every opportunity to chop away at the State, whether it’s to reduce or abolish a tax, a budget appropriation, or a regulatory power. And the radical libertarian is insatiable in this appetite until the State has been abolished..."

My favorite part is a Silicon Valley millennial saying something like “ freedom of speech is a distraction. we need to provide free will”

Free will isnt provided. Stop trying to set yourself over us, and get out of the way.

I cringe when viewing that stage.
