I don't see anything wrong with subjecting yourself to which ever government you're living at any given time but I do see something terribly wrong with governments removing the ability to remove yourself from them. That's why I bitcoin. I can play their game, and will, to keep myself and my family fed and nourished, but if I get to a point of feeling personally oppressed, I will leave it all behind and take my capital with me. Because I can. I used to be a bit of an anarchist but through the study and use of bitcoin I have actually become a little more in favor of every type of government. They should exist for the people who want to use them and live that way. But there should always be choice, and bitcoin provides that to us all.

I once crossed and international frontier without “proper authorization” and got caught by that county’s border patrol. There is no freedom of movement when they are pointing their rifles at you and demanding identification. I spent too much time locked up with about 45 people in a 3Mx3M cell. Next, I was moved to a 2m x 2m cell with 7 people in a secret police setting. I was just lucky they did not put me in the place where they feed you only water and very hot peppers. I can attest to there being no, absolutely no, freedom of movement under the current international regime. I understand in the past, before WWI, you could travel anywhere, with out ID.
