You are a tiny minority who have frankly extreme views. Why do you think the rest of the world will agree to accept what you define as "money" in preference to what democratically-elected governments define as "money"?
I don’t believe force is the answer. I believe free market competition among money-products is superior to state force.

Belief has nothing to do with it. Try not paying your taxes or fines for a while, see how you get on. Force works quite well when I comes to getting people to accept your money.

it is also how money has been created throughout history, including under gold standards. In fact gold standards have generally been more coercive than fiat systems, probably because state power is usually stronger under gold standards.

These are totalitarian, invasive ideas. I believe exchange, commerce and cooperation should be voluntary.

This (the force of the state) is just a description of how most money works today and has worked throughout most of known history. Whether one finds this morally acceptable or not is an entirely different discussion.

Yes, and technology is attempting to offer a voluntary-based, more open, freer, less restrictive alternative to "force of the state" and "what has worked throughout most of known history"... Isn't it obvious?

Doomed to fail.

We're open to opinion, can you explain in more detail why you think it will fail? As you probably know BTC cannot be shutdown so I assume you mean fail as in failure to reach a larger target audience outside of the current echo chamber we currently reside in.

1/5 Imho the crypto revolution will fail because crypto has value only to the extent that enough people *believe* it has value. Once people stop believing, the magic is gone, and the system implodes. Crypto appears to me to be more about religion than about tech or economics.
