 Kingdoms are necessary to preserve private property without which individual freedom cannot be realized.

A cryptographic distributed system is secure only if it is computationally infeasible for the adversary to attack.
In the same way if an individual can be isolated without a system in place to provide help then freedom cannot be realized.

Maybe bitcoin will pave way for future Kingdoms which will be required to work for the benefit of the people than the dynasty?
