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.
