 If you think the State is going to go along with that, I have some swamp land to sell you. 

And no, a blockchain does not fix this. It’s an expensive database. 
 I think we should make it a requirement, not giving "the state" a choice. 
 How do you propose that gets done? 
 New York adopts Bitcoin as the medium of exchange, with all tolls paid by lightning network into public wallets that are watched by the watchdogs. It's not difficult, it would just require a complete change in how the local, state and federal government understands money and financing.
And no, I don't expect it to happen peacefully. 
 Whatever you're smoking, pass me some. 
 just don't let hatred towards the government we have blind you to the real governance solutions that we need. 
 The real governance we need is self-governance. The State is a parasite. History and thine own eyes bears this out. Anything else is self-delusion.
