Good rule of thumb: If you cannot name any historic examples of your preferred system of government succeeding in the past, it’s unlikely to succeed in the present.
This is true of both Communism and Anarchism, but is not true of a Minarchism or Monarchism. 
“So you see, officially nobody may admit to being who they really know they are. You know, who do you think you are, God or something? But inwardly everybody knows it.”

The particular brand of orange pill that Saylor offers is perfect for older tradfi investors, as it requires minimal changes to their mental model of the world (ie. just add Bitcoin).
For those who are younger, or further down the path of logical conclusions, the current fiat system cannot stand.
Once Bitcoin reaches a tipping point where it becomes obvious you’d want to hold sats instead of bonds, the entire system will change irreversibly.
Yes, even JP Morgan Chase, Coinbase, and the Federal Reserve itself will rugpull eventually. It’s not if, but when.

There is no risk free rate of return in a sound money economy without a fiat money printer to backstop the banks.
Save in Bitcoin and focus on your craft. Then, when the time comes, spend your sats as Satoshi intended.
Good observation.
The minarchist position has historically worked quite well (eg. Gilded age of America, height of the British Empire).

If so, how? nostr:note13q4atgk0fjmlqkf3ae3srzg6zt2rwqlvnz4tq3zr4s0qn3v3tfuqkmd302
Question for Libertarians:
