That's nice, but not scalable. Scale that up enough and you have anarchy, which is just a temporary situation until a strongman takes over. And even for a few individuals it's a problem. How do you make a living? Even if you're independently wealthy, where do you get your supplies? What are you doing online? How will you get online in a world where most people necessarily live in states, thus your access to _them_ depends on those states. Push comes to shove you could live as a hermit, armed to the teeth to defend yourself from those foreign powers. You're not convincing me that crypto is the answer. It's part of the answer, sure, but not _the_ answer. Even though this is about crypto, it's still OT.
