Hello Stacker News,
I want to first state that I am all in on Bitcoin and by no means think this a slight to the network at all more so a genuine curiosity to what many fellow plebs think about this. I know most bitcoiners are anti government and every man for themselves mentality through proper sovereignty but still as much as I do believe the power of that I understand that some people need help based on their life circumstance.
For an example my grandmother who is 90 now has been living by herself since she was about 60 when my grandfather died. She worked all her life as an immigrant in the US as a nurse which she didn't officially retire till her 70s. Many services have been very helpful for her that was provided from the government. In a bitcoin standard where I assume that taxes will be an obsolete thing of the past or at least an option to pitch in if you want to be a great Samaritan what will happen to services that some people actually need?
Humans are naturally self incentivized and why would anyone feel inclined to pitch into something that doesn't directly affect them.
Who will fund general infrastructure? Who will fund disability checks for parents with children that have mental disorders or sicknesses? Who will make the education system in an area where they are not as affluent financially to be functional?
Or is it the general consensus that in a truly free world its your problem and I don't have to help?
I'm conflicted because I believe the government spending that has been going on over the last 50 years is modern slavery but also realize it is very naïve to say that some things that are done by the government may not be the most efficient but still carry a more net positive.
I would love if anyone could clarify this for me. Thanks in advance!
