The government's excessive power stems from its monopoly on currency issuance. At a deeper level, its authority is upheld only by the public’s belief that government is necessary. Since Bitcoin is inherently anarchic in nature, the U.S. government will inevitably turn against it again.
If people truly realize that Bitcoin is real money and that the dollar is fake, why would they continue to use dollars and go through the hassle of exchanging them? Workers would demand to be paid in Bitcoin from the start, and merchants would insist on accepting Bitcoin for payments. Of course, this won’t happen overnight, but in a world where fiat currency continues to lose value, it is an eventuality.
When that time comes, people will also realize that transacting in Bitcoin could allow them to avoid paying taxes. That’s when the government will step in and take action.

Notes (4)
I’m currently testing my local BTC, LND, Nostr relay, and Alby. Can you guys help me? If you reply to this note, I will zap you some sats via NWC, and then you can pay me back. I don’t have enough receiving capacity, so you should give me back less than what I give you. Help!
Is Alby Go only designed to connect to relays that start with TLS-enabled wss? I’ve been testing a relay that starts with ws, but it seems unable to connect. I’d like to know if this is due to a policy restriction or another issue.
I confirmed that Alby Hub running on my PC connects well to my test relay, and both Amethyst and Wallet Connect work fine with it. (I haven’t added BTC to my LND yet, so I haven’t tested payments or zap functionality, but I did verify that event 13194 is being registered on the relay.) However, when I try to connect Alby Go with Alby Hub, it says it can’t connect to the relay, so I’m asking for clarification.
