What governments?

The wealth and security of nations and their citizens (including the insane) is in large part determined by the quality of their governments...

Free enterprise business needs the security of government provided law and order and property rights in order to thrive.
There has never been sustained prosperity and wealth in the absence of good government.
Bitcoin is a form of government with laws and enforcement of them- but limited to the custody and movement of its digital tokens and blockchain.
It is a revolutionary model of how monetary, and potentially, broader governance can/could be managed by algorithm but does not solve most of the problems real world governments face.
Such as how to deal with the insane and deluded. How to educate citizens. How to defend your citizens and resources from hostile external entities. How to maximise utilisation of resources.
Your blind faith in market forces is misplaced and naive.
Your dislike of governments is equally misplaced.
Market forces fail in multiple scenarios.
What is needed is a careful balance of government oversight and within that framework free markets to the extent they do not become rentseeking cartels, monopolies or mafia.
It is hard to grasp the truth as it is nuanced and requires experience, discretion and skill to see.
If you cannot see it still go live somewhere without government and learn.
But you won't because you are all talk, and no walk.
Go live somewhere there is no government, no taxation, no law and order or property rights except might is right and the law of the jungle, and report back on how much sense it makes to you.
Of course we all know you won't ~ because your not suicidal or insane...are you?
