Possibly the best hire any government ever made.

I agree that as there's ROI for governments to coerce the people, they will. Centralized pots just make the ROI bigger.

There's a need for some dead man switch like puboic insurances. "Smart contract" deckaring that if you tread on me, the money gets automatically funneled to your enemy.

The free market for capital already does that. But the less centralized it is, the worse it works.
