That's why I said it "backed" the ideology. And that's why I also said Bitcoin users don't have to share or even know it in order for it to work. I agree with you completely that it's just a protocol, but if you look at it in the context of politics, it is obvious governments wouldn't be exactly happy if more people started using it.
- maaku 14y agoSorry, I somehow read "backs the ideology" as "backed by the ideology", which obviously has opposite meaning. One of my main beefs with Bitcoin right now is that the most vocal people advocating it are extremist, non-mainstream ideologues. Although I'm not of the Austrian-school, I do consider myself a libertarian-anarchist which is probably just another word for your anarcho-capitalism. However it's not doing my/our cause any good to have Bitcoin move more and more out of the mainstream and the Bitcoin user community become more insular.
- snitko 14y agoThat's my bad, I'm sorry. I should have said it is "backed" by the ideology. My initial comment was not exactly clear.

I used to be pretty normal person before I got interested about bitcoins. Now I think that the end of the nation state is near and my friends think that I'm a weirdo.
