The upside is that I get to participate in the economy as it exists.

  It is fairly easy to participate in the economy without trusting the central banks. Get out of fiat as quickly as possible. The Bitcoin people generally don't trust the fed and they have, strictly speaking, ended up in a much better position to participate in the economy.

Some people here seem think that "guns and laws" will be able to stop them (and other forms and cryptocurrencies in general) from participating in the economy, esp without describing how that will actually work in practice (or without acknowledgement how "guns and laws" have largely failed in practice for the past ~13 years wrt to proliferation of cryptocurrencies esp compared to some of its predecessors in the 90's that were quickly stomped out)…

      That’s interesting, how do you know other people think this?
