Again, a non-answer

It's not. You're telling us that, quote, "The state being able to confiscate things is the opposite of property rights. The universe enforcing it through math is a more natural state."
So. You bought your house with bitcoin, and now you have your property rights through universe and math. You arrive at your property that you have rights to, and it's occupied by someone else. For example, by the person who sold you the house. That person doesn't want to move out.
Now what.
As always, crypto-proponents dismiss this as a "silly question". Because, of course, you're only focused on "state can seize your property", completely forgetting all the other things that state does. Like enforcing the property rights. Without this, your universe can enforce exactly zero through math.

- dmitriid 5y ago> How do animals protect their habitat Weaker animals get chased out, and their habitat destroyed or taken over by stronger animals. So your "answer" is violence? What a great world you want us to live in. And one that we already have lived in, and a world in which some countries still live. Good luck finding money for protection rackets.
- randomhodler84 5y agoThe answer is not violence from me. I do not wish any harm on anyone. I think you are advocating for violence by the state in this question. We are just animals who have invented state violence. Bitcoin et al is another way.
- lottin 5y agoBitcoin doesn't make state violence any less necessary. How do you expect to enforce laws without state violence?
