      Socialists like to style their primitive regressions as "progressive", so it was not so surprising to find them among the practitioners of a popular pastime of charlatans these days, cargo-cult Bitcoin.https://twitter.com/jillruthcarlson/status/1024360484068159488 …

      Not remotely, it’s built on individual sovereignty.

      Where exactly in anything cypherpunks have built is a "neo-government run by cypherpunks?" Nothing by cypherpunks has ever been forced on anyone, and I've never heard of any cypherpunks claiming to want such a thing. What is this narrative based on?

      If it becomes successful enough that *everyone else* wants to use it, you still have a choice to not do so regardless of how difficult it is. You don't have to participate in the economy, but if you DO, you also don't have a right to tell anyone else what currency they must use.

      1/ Making systems of force obsolete is *not* force. Its the opposite, it eliminates the *authority* to force others into whatever system one person thinks another ought to value. There is nothing *coercive* in individual sovereignty.

      2/ The creation of crypto-anarchy is *entirely* based on the ability to allow the individual to defend themselves from systems they choose not to participate in. If that becomes inconvenient for you or others, that's irrelevant, their decisions have nothing to do with yours.

      Not necessarily irrelevant; cypherpunk decisions may be a defense against his/her coercive decisions (and those of millions of other coercers and their agents).

          Who do you get to force to accept your worthless government currency? It's not a question of your rights being taken, its that you can't *force other people* to take your paper. If they choose to only accept Bitcoin, then you either agree to the trade, or simply don't trade.

          Government is not the enforcer of property rights, it is the largest institution in violation of those rights by many orders of magnitude. The subversion of that institution is the restoration of individual property rights, not its loss.

          This question's akin to saying if telegraph doesn't exist anymore then would communication not be slower? Yet the reasoning for telegraph "dying" is because broadband internet came along. So the very nature of *why* it died, is it being replaced with something better. So *yes.*

          That wasn't at all what you claimed. You said, and I quote: "the whole cypherpunk movement is built on marxist sentiment." Which is absolutely false, and I *did* deny. Mimicking/mocking the words of the opening sentence has nothing to do with the principles it's based on.

          I don't mean to say they are irrelevant in the sense of "having no effect." I mean in the sense of irrelevant to the question of his/her individual right to choose. That's if I'm understanding your point correctly, but I am a little confused with the wording. 🤔
