I have looked at this subject throughly, The subject of Anarchy is really quite relative. Anarchy was the precursor for Communist Russia. Collectivism is a western model of Anarchist philosophy, I personally feel individualism is how I view Anarchy as relevant. In Anarchist thinking, Use implies ownership, So you can not own anything you are not using. It belongs to the collective, Or in the case of Russian communism it belongs to the state. This is not really copacetic with bitcoin, Because bitcoin is the ultimate preservation of private property ownership. To participate in the network just requires running a node, And you have equal political power to all other node runners. Your power could be measured in sats, But ownership just requires using a wallet and the knowledge of a seed phrase. Libertarian Values place capital ahead of humanity, And bitcoin doesn’t really do this either. I think bitcoin supports individualism more than anything because it encourages people to take responsibility for their own financial resources and privacy and security are both central to bitcoin. There is no privacy in Anarchy, In state led minimal government there is always a leadership, And in individualism there is every man for himself, I think the greatest truth. If someone truly loves you how much money is irrelevant to them helping you. Money is a tool not a limb.
My point stands.
This is meant to be an intellectual conversation not an argument.
Okay, but my point of minarchists being fake Libertarians still stands. This post was me throwing rocks at minarchists, not me looking to discuss the concept of anarchy
