Bitcoiners need to be armed.
There will probably be as much demand for security going forward as a store of value. I mean, physical security. Some sort of guarantees that you will not be raided by thugs, if you start up something productive in return for bitcoins. Caus im not sure the traditional police and military will be around in the future. But lets see.
This is why we're all so crazy about opsec.

It might be worth studying how security worked in the early days of the US, how was towns and farms kept secure from bandits?

I'd like to write more about this sometime but I think a lot of current society is just the evolved version of what you are talking about, and history has glossed over those elements. Just think about the word "company". Groups of people together advancing goals and defending their interests seems to be the human default. The tightest-knit communities are those who have most recently been oppressed. Orthodox Jews in NYC have their own security, EMS, etc.
The state creates "communities" also through unions etc. And to be honest they are way way way better at it than freedom-loving individualists. We need to come out of our shells a bit IMO. And in doing so we cannot appear like an angry militia or we will be crushed. We value freedom and human rights, if the state is against that, let it be obvious.
