A libertarian here. Governemnts were not need to come before, they are not needed now. Internet is mutual and voluntary agreement between different subnets. The solution is threat of throwing the misbehaving party out of the group. Thats it

That could have been done gradually without banning notes. Introducing higher denomination make even more less sense.
