I hated governments long before bitcoin existed. Put more accurately I hated the state.

Governance is not what the state is. It does provide inferior governance to voluntary and private governace. The problem with the state is its monopolistic nature. I don't hate it like one would had another person though. That isn't really accurate or healthy.

I view it more as how one thinks about cancer or the devil. In the context of Christianity I think of the state as that which puts itself in the place of God. So in a sense it is anti-Christ. Going all the way back to the towel of Babel through the kings that set themselves up as gods, to the ceasars, to the modern ideas of Democracy.

Bitcoin appeared to me as a tool we can use as part of other things to counter the power of the state. Hating it is of little value. We really need to learn why we should make it obsolete. Like slavery, why it is immoral and should be abolished. Not governance or hierarchy, or order. The state. The state is the problem here not those others.

Bitcoin doesn't make the state disappear but it is a threat to the state power over the people.
