That's quite a zero-sum view of wealth. Me gaining freedom only means a loss for whoever has control over me, *and* whether or not that "perceived" control is still valuable to them (they can only really control me by directly pointing a gun to my head). 

There was a point in time when control of others was the only truly valuable thing; the only thing that made you wealthy. Since Smith, we've seen a rapid departure from that power structure due to specialization and trade. Permissionless and borderless payments will only add fuel to that fire. 

 Just four years ago, modern feudalism showed what it could do. Freedom tech will enable us to fight back, but the current trend is not geared toward more influence from individual self-interest. We are very much a niche that’ll face massive adversity.
