Real markets are black markets

The only true free market is a black market and bitcoin since the beginning has been black market money. Act as if holding bitcoin is equivalent to black market activity.
live locally. transact in the shadows.

The free market of the past was physical, but if physical cash is banned and only electronic forms of money are accepted (Central Bank Digital Currencies, anyone?), then free market goods will be priced in an electronic currency that cannot be confiscated by the State. I predict that the currency of the free market will be Bitcoin.

Why do you name them "black"? The real name is free market, not black market. There's no such thing as "black market"

Hmmm, counter argument: black markets are less liquid and usually cost a premium. That makes black markets structurally less capitalistic.
