Maybe. And thanks for your concern about my well-being.

I think you (and many) are missing a pretty important fact that the "magic carpet of paper deposit certificates" and the ensuing debasement proved a massive competitive advantage for societies that organized around it, at least in the short term. The collision between a state made up of ideologues with hard money vs. a state with near-infinite warmaking and coordination capacity due to being able to print it -- well, I guess we haven't seen it in its pure form, as far as I know. Maybe in imperial Rome. But the thought experiment doesn't end well for the purists.

Bitcoiners talk about fiat like it's a great stupidity, and maybe from certain assumptions it is, e.g.,maybe the world would be better if everyone played by hard-money rules. But they don't. There is great game-theoretic advantage to defaulting. Unclear to me if the world ever undergoes a phase transition where that stops being true.

If you think nation states will maximally slink away, whimpering, once btc is ascendant -- if you think btc can become ascendant w/out integration with existing systems -- I'd say the burden of proof is on you. I'd much rather some compromise -- yes, one involving taxation -- emerged, before we put the "Mad Max" vs "new heights of human flourishing due to gentleman btc farmers" to the test.
