The question should not even surge in the first place. If it does, it is because you voluntarily decided to discharge your responsibility to a fictional entity and consequently comply and submit to specific laws in your area of operations. Of course, We, the people, we do not have any obligation to comply, nor to do any business with third parties complying with the above-mentioned regulators.
But let's assume that the medium of exchange is (obviously) Bitcoin. We are responsible beings, and we do business directly without any intermediary or representative. We just are supposed to provide anything to the other party, that has more value for us than what we are asking for.
Now, the problem surge when this other party wants to comply on a voluntary basis with some unauthorized authorities, asking us for some kind of paper that highlight the exchange details. You'd do business with such entities? Or you just say No, I can't do business with you? Do you provide a receipt with tax information? Or you just provide a receipt? Or you just provide the good or service and that's it? It's registering a company really needed? Or it's something for cowards and losers?
I'm honestly still struggling to navigate in this open ocean and my aim for this post is to better understand how we can do business, exchange good and services, excluding the compliance factors imposed by authoritarian regulators. How we create a safe space to interact and exchange?
I'd appreciate your thoughts and experiences on this topic.
TheWildHustle pretty much focuses on aligning with the sovereign individual thesis.
The unleashing of Free Open Source software, and public private key cryptography should bring forth an unprecedented era of free global trade.
And I hear the AGORA SN territory has created a safe space to interact and exchange.
We have the technology freaks!

We do have the technology, and isn't about the ~AGORA territory. More like enabling this P2P free market many talk about but not many are able to understand and operate with. Look like we lack awareness on how we could operate freely, without extra bullshit.
For example, if I say we should do business without registering a company. How many have the balls to do it and enable a free market?
How many are already doing it?

The nostrocket idea seems pretty cool. TheWildHustle has checked it out and will keep tabs. But true, hopefully enough in the community maintain a cypherpunk ethos.

Yes, as long as I am not forced, coerced, pushed, influenced to comply with something that I do not consent. If they want to comply with THEIR part, is their business, but not involving me. They can stick their compliance into their ass.
But if they force me to comply with some bullshit, I simply boycott that merchant.
