  1. Doesn't El Salvador use bitcoin?
  2. Let's say large governments become obsolete, there will still be small citadels that have rules and by definition, a community that has a few leaders/spokespersons of any kind is considered a government. Look at HOAs as an example of people willingly letting themselves be ruled by extra rules.
Also, if a place like China decides to isolate their citizens, never use bitcoin, and suppress their people then how would bitcoin help them? In fact, if all other groups of people are on the bitcoin standard and they can't raise money to fight a war then China will just keep on going without a deterrent (short of trade blockades).
  1. I wish that bitcoin (once fully embraced) eradicated war and evil governments. I just highly doubt it as there have been evil leaders without money printers and conflicts fought over the centuries that had nothing to do with money (just look at the Old Testament and Quran for examples).
I love bitcoin and think it'll solve a LOT of problems. I just think it's a little naive to think that wars would stop. But, perhaps I'm missing something.

  1. No. People use Bitcoin, not countries.
  2. You are free to stay in your place with your gov. But nobody will stop me to use Bitcoin as I want.
