Yes it will. Removing the government forces the sociopaths to get real jobs. Your system is what gives the murderous psychopaths infinite power. They have no power in a free market because no one would voluntarily give them money to kill random innocents. That's an industry that relies 95% on taxation.
Power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Kapow!

For you.

For anyone who wants to seize your wealth when you do not have a government to provide rule of law.
The sociopaths are gonna make a meal of you.

My wealth is in Bitcoin. It's unseizable.

A targeted attack on an organized crime ring is much easier to pull off than going door to door torturing individual holders. It's not relevant to a crackdown on mass adoption. You just assume that the state will find some way to win every encounter because it's your God.

You still rely upon the rule of law and multiple infrastructures that it enables- provided by the nation state- you would not survive a week without them.

That's your skewed analysis.
First of all, there's no reason to assume that roads wouldn't exist if the state wasn't in charge of them. The state doesn't issue everyone a free phone, yet I have one, and you can't convince me that the state's stolen products and services are any better than what I could buy on the free market.
Again, not everything needs a subsidy to exist, a point you've acknowledged but don't seem to be taking to heart.
As for how I personally would fare in a society that wasn't stealing from people more productive than me to finance my lifestyle, I think I would still be better off overall, given the second and third order effects of a society that values trade above violent coercion, but if it means I would have to get a real job instead of lobbying the government, so be it. That's kind of the point.
