> the point of Bitcoin circular economies is to avoid the state

It’s to avoid state controlled currency. Not avoid the state unilaterally. Even the most hardcore anarchist recognizes the need to cooperate with their neighbors.

I would rather the city or village do it for *better accountability and transparency*. The primary issue with the fediverse is that all these servers are run by “some guy” with a Napoleon complex.
