I was attempting to say more than those two things.  But I appreciate your perspective.  What actual people believe, vs the talking points that get most of the visibility on social media, is what I was hoping to understand better.

"I" vs "we" from an economic perspective

That's a lot of words to say that externalities and public goods exist 

I can't speak for other bitcoiners, but I do believe there is a role for government and that legitimate forms of taxation exist. 

I would simply argue that fiat has encouraged a lot of harmful excesses in our society, such as corruption, malinvestment, and overconsumption. Going back to a hard money standard can fix some of these societal ills.
