Nonsense. I don't need a state to be importing terrorist cells and rape gangs for me to do my job. "US hegemony" is a boogeyman made up by other states for the hustle narrative. That's what states like Venezuela use as an excuse for why the territory they own happens to suck. Ordinary civilians don't benefit from the state's war games. SWIFT is an irrelevant, obsolete meme compared to Bitcoin.
Yes you do.
Without the security and rule of law the US empire provides you you would be an impoverished shivering quivering wreck begging for a blanket, a coke and a Big Mac.
Your ingratitude and extraordinary sense of entitlement sets you up for one great big fall.

If I would die without government assistance, then my death is the will of the market and I accept my fate. I don't feel entitled to anything that I can't work for myself, but no I'm not grateful for government agents committing theft on my behalf. I would much prefer to die in a free market than thrive in a slave economy.

You would not survive and you know it or you would go somewhere there is no effective government and be in your nirvana...and then have to deal with the brutal reality of your ignorance.
There is no such thing as a 'free market' outside of the security and property rights that governments can provide...only brutal law of the jungle might is right gangsterism.
For Gods sake read Adam Smith and learn the basics of moral and economic principles.

It's not about whether I personally survive or not. My point is that the government shouldn't be in charge of deciding who survives. Bitcoin is a perfectly efficient method of determining who deserves the most money. Otherwise we might as well dump all our Bitcoin and all other assets into a pot and let the Party decide who gets to have how much back while they take a cut for doing the work of reallocating it. You and everyone else only pay taxes when there's a gun to your head because deep down it's not what you want. Taxation is the epitome of "might is right" logic. Literally everything the government does is accomplished through violence or deception.
