yes but protection services of the ancaps are hardly violent gangs and UK police hardly works. If your government locks you down and injects you like sheep you arent free. Many think the state does things buts its really the market at work. free and voluntary exchanges win in a free market but the state must lie steal cheat and kill to maintain market share. You are right to say resisting tyranny is not violence.

im thinking more lately that state sponsored terrorist actors are being used to prop up a genocidal surveilance state. Yes but outside of that, if there is an outside of that, its better. lets promote the outside of that.

i like alan debotton on this. he says wisdom consists partly in understanding regret is part of the human experience and will not be solved enitirely by making "the perfect choices" similar to this is nostalgia. understand outselves and our emotions should lead to us enjoying and rembering and striving for superior pleasures as aristole teaches in the nicomeanean ethics. but suffering and mental weirdness exist as buddists and others teach.

on another point - what about taxes? if i buy bitcoin and send it on lightning network in exchange for a good or service am i taxed on the amount of capitol gains just the same as i would be if i swapped to another currency? i suppose crypto tax software figures that out for you.

good luck. if i was a wealthy canadian like yourself id have a plan b or c just in case. nomad capitol seems promising for researching strategies abroad. ive thought even if someone wanted to go abroad for a whole election cycle it would be a nice option.

If there was never a currency that resolved centralization/manipulation, then there has never been an economic or political system that didn’t suffer the same result. No model of the past can mea...

thanks Jeff. i discovered you and am considering your insights. check out richard heart and pulsechain, a cheaper, faster EVM L1 etherium fork. It allows earning 13% apr for staking gas token without mining proof of work. I am thinking that decentralization on bitcoin layers and on pulsechain EVM are both possible so i will work with both. bitcoin has the first mover advantage of adoption and network scale, but pulsechain has the technological advantage of proof of stake, immutible code, and L1 usability. I think all decentralized cryptos should ally to provide an alternative to fiat as a capital asset.

powercities flex protocol on the pulsechain etherium EVM fork allows overcollateralized borrowing with virtually no fees so you have no yearly interest charge, no finance charge on your debt and so is not merely crypto lending but defi. Bitcoin is promising but pulsechain may be the only defi native L1 in history at this point in time.
