The headline here is pretty misleading.
There is no Bitcoin economy here and the libertarians didn't build the economy that does exists.

A group of bitcoin enthusiasts convinced 20 local business to accept "some form of" bitcoin as payment and also spent years operating in a legal financial services grey zone. The Feds arrested them.
What I did find distressing about this article is the level of violence the police used used to arrest someone with no history of violence.
