Just being realistic.
Am not here for the Libertarian circle jerking echo chamber - but rather to raise and explore challenging ideas.
If you can't handle it and have to respond by trying to shoot the messenger that's your fear and your problem, not mine.
If you cannot respond to the issues raised am really not interested in inane personal attacks, scapegoating and gaslighting avoidance of the issues.

Witness above one and all, the 'Libertarian' dictating to others what they must be doing when they adopt Bitcoin.
Anyone else see the gigantic Hypocrisy?
Bitcoin is itself a collective monetary system, as you say outside of the state but nonetheless a collective monetary system, as all monetary systems are.
Long live the collective!
People working together is what makes life worthwhile!

There are many cases where state led cooperation is simply essential or at least superior.
Like the supply of rare earths for example.
Like the provision of rule of law and property rights.
Nation states have unique powers and mandates to organise certain things because it advances the interests of their citizens in a way that free markets cannot.

People organise into groups/states in order to gain security from other groups and to advance the interests of their group.
Example-
China has captured a near monopoly over the supply of refined rare earths.
Now USA is fucked and cannot fight any significant war without begging China for rare earths.
