Are you sure you're using 'anarchy' in the same way that the OP is?

Yes, he’s referring to anarchy in the classical sense of no rulers or authority, voluntarism — which is a shallow philosophy and can be applied to economics or politics, sure, but when he says “Bitcoin is anarchy” this is just false, presupposing mathematics and an orderly universe, a network protocol, a monetary system, even a stable game theory, how the state will react over time, how new economies will form, none of this is “anarchy”

It’s like saying a bicycle is anarchy…

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

He's talking about a peer to peer electronic cash system. This peer to peer electronic cash system has no rulers or authority.

Ethereum has human rulers that can change the code.

Dogecoin has human rulers that can change the code.

Bitcoin has no human rulers.

That’s obviously true, but not what I’m talking about.
