 I think I boiled down the main I problem I have when interacting with non-Bitcoiners:

Until you realize that Bitcoin is the separation of money and State, your opinions on political philosophy are not useful.

Without Bitcoin, whatever model you try to build always has an exploit in violence. After repeatedly running in that wall, you’ll eventually lose hope and concede that the State and its tentacles are the arbiters of truth in all matters. Then the Authority will convince you of absurdities to get you to commit atrocities.

Safe and effective.
