Libertarianism is such a luxury belief. Taxation for the purposes of redistribution is a function of the monopoly on violence to ensure the poor don’t kill the rich, take all their shit and crash civilization in the process. This is why bitcoin maximalists are not taken seriously as rigorous thinkers

“It just won’t be bitcoin!” Yeah, exactly, bitcoin won’t be universal… it isn’t a fiat mindset to contend with the social demand for redistribution. You can actually be serious. You sound like a fucking moron who is ideological possessed by greed

Well, the problem we have now is that nobody agrees on how to

redistribute money. This is why everybody disagrees about who should be in charge of it, which is why it is seated to the government because they offer a redistribution model for “equitable” welfare redistribution. You’re not going to get the majority of people to agree to a pure meritocracy such as bitcoin so it will become Ideological - polarization driven by individual self interest will require a welfare model or a governing body to determine how to re-distribute bitcoin earnings. This is just how people operate.

When bitcoin is completely minded out, and we are only left with consensus rules, will polarization drive policy with bitcoin like it does with democracy?

Zaps are very cool. It universalizes tipping. Generosity as opposed to greed is the recipe for making capitalism work.
