 The whole premise of bitcoin is you need no contract or bank account to use it. Libertarians just like bitcoin because it is more profitable than a government backed currency and they can just nod along and look politically justified. If you were poor you would be pretty inhumane pretty fast.

 Go try being homeless. Or even better go move to a foreign country without a bank account and tell me about how much you believe in Libertarianism.

 Will do, thanks. Let me know when Europe fixes homelessness.

 Have you been to Denmark? They seem to have addressed this problem pretty well.

 Kudos to Denmark, I’m glad they solved everything and I sincerely hope no greedy libertarian capitalist pig and others of my ilk ever set foot there and ruin it. In fact I hope the whole of Europe turns into the new Soviet Union (which is well on its way) and that you enjoy all the fashionable rights of the day. More State guys, this guy has solved it!

 Yeah I don’t think you understand my point, And Denmark is the oldest royal family line in Europe, About the last place that wants to be like the Soviet Union. China just has more gold in Swiss Banks than Western Capitalists. Good luck with your political agenda.

 If your point is that libertarians only care about profit point well-taken. Nothing further to discuss.
