I don't understand why people mix things,
for example, guns & bitcoin.
that's a big question mark for me.
Both concepts are closely tied to libertarianism. Which libertarian would not be in favor of self-defense? Which libertarian would not support the separation of money from the government?

I'm libertarian, but I'm not in favour of guns, I think the division of labour solved that issue, and the state should provide security, we just need a more reliable way than what we already have, I don't really buy that American idiology of "we need guns to preserve our freedoms" and I think I will never get it.

You are not a libertarian (though there seems to be a very high correlation between self-proclaimed libertarians and trash "humans"). You are a LARPer. You have probably been here 6 months, since 2021 at most, and will sell your bitcoin within a year or two.

The Idea of separate money and state is to pacifically block the state of arm themselves.
Without debt there is no way that a state can save money to arm themselves to go to war.
Bitcoin is the opposite of an armed society.
Without the state, all the weapons corporations will just diminish and perish.

Weapons are being financed by governments. the "right" of having a gun, is exactly what the corporations that sustain your government wants.
They are preparing the people for war, convincing then that learning how to kill in "self defence" is a good concept, but is all the opposite.
Is not the first time this happens in human history.
sorry but no, bitcoin has nothing to do with mass production of guns industry in the US.

I don't want to contribute to the off-topic discussion, so I'll conclude this topic with a clarification. Just as I believe that money should be separate from the state, the monopoly of violence should also be abolished. If we leave the monopoly of violence in the hands of the state, we will not have moved towards a libertarian society; instead, it would be more like a minarchist society that would eventually grow back into a large state. If we believe that the state is illegitimate, we should not grant it any power, at least not voluntarily, and that includes the monopoly of violence (weapons).
Once again, this is just my perspective, and I may be mistaken.
