The real tension in the space between cypherpunk ideals and meatspace reality:

We talk a big game about Code is Law, but the law of the land still has a badge and a tow truck. You can build the most decentralized, encrypted, onion-routed app in the world, but you aren't going to code your way out of a property tax assessment, vehicle registration, business taxes, etc.

Real talk guys....is opting out even possible while still owning assets in the physical world? Or are we all just comfortably hypocritical? 🧐

Most of us are just buying time with our continued compliance. Paying every tax bill on time to avoid the find out phase. Code allows us to build parallel systems, but until those systems can provide physical security and infrastructure, the tax man stays winning.

Stop larping like the state doesn't exist just because you have a lightning node.

How do we actually bridge the gap?
