The irony is painful. True freedom comes when we minimize government’s reach and maximize individual responsibility. Bitcoin and decentralized platforms like Nostr are steps toward that freedom. 

 I sometimes wonder if there's any system of government that's stable and doesn't eventually just try to grow itself like a cancer 

 I’m leaning towards a no on that one. 

 That's a negative, it's always cancer. 

 It's not like we haven't got thousands of years of examples.
