@siggy47 I hope you get my intention here. Appreciate you sharing this conflict you feel. I do not mean to belittle this feeling. Based on what you are saying you sound like a fair minded and logical person. Arguing and combating bad ideas is not anti-libertarian. Nor is muting people if you don't want to do that.

Here's what bothers me about some maxis (a very small number). They seem to want them to be banned by the state. They seem to believe that some day they will no longer exist. That some day everyone will be a maxi. I do not share these views. I want to live in a truly free world and in a truly free world people will do both dumb and evil things as they do today. The difference will be that a lot of these evil and dumb things will not be encouraged and protected from consequences by the state and their corporate partners.

I do not believe that even in 100 years everyone will be a bitcoin maxi. Think about the current world. Is everyone a fiat maxi? No. But fiat and the states that control it are dominant. Bitcoin will eventually have enough adoption and true believers to lead it to dominance but other views will exist. People will hate it.

People that live in largely free market nations like the US hate capitalism. Yet, they participate in it. They profit from it. We will never intellectually change all minds. We don't have to. Just a critical number. The masses will use what works.

Appreciate ya @siggy47
