Not the asker, but thank you for answering this--it goes a long way toward understanding where your arguments are coming from.
- shkkmo 5y agoPlaces without a functional government have a history of doing pretty poorly. I think the burden of proof that there is a possible future without government lies on those making that claim. That burden has definitely not been met and the thus the feverent belied in that claim by cryptocurrency bulls is not rational.
- jkhdigital 5y agoThis is kind of a straw man… while I’m sure there are some fringe John McAfee-types who think crypto is the door to anarcho-capitalism, I don’t take any of them seriously. So I’m not sure who you’re directing your argument towards.
- momo_O 5y agoCouldn’t it similarly have been said some hundreds of years ago that, places without a functional monarchy have a history or doing poorly? It would be accurate, for the time, but hugely short sighted.
- imtringued 5y agoAll humans enforce laws with physical interactions, especially violent ones. If you have no central governing body then every human makes their own rules and laws and when they enforce these rules they will be just as violent as the governments they wanted to run away from.
- jkhdigital 5y agoYou should probably read some philosophy. There are much more sophisticated and nuanced ways of thinking about government and law than your comment seems to endorse.
