Many Bitcoiners, myself included, believe your line of thinking is based on a false premise that we need a government at all. Many of us believe that the emergent order will organize things on its own. Maybe that ends up in some sort of leadership hierarchy, aka a government. But that hierarchy should not have the ability to tax people without their consent. For me, that is a total no go. People should voluntarily fund what they want, and society should be birthed from that. Taking money from people involuntarily and spending it on things that are deemed “necessary” by a group of central planners is totally unacceptable. That is why there is a conflict with progressivism.

ya this is a key point. even something like ' but i just want to tax Elon and his friends ' is a part of the problem. its simple 'but i want to use the immense power of the fed govt to do right' all over again. disenfranchising the central authorities, which is the point of btc if im not mistaken, means that you wouldnt be able to steal value from anyone, rich or poor. btc is truly revolutionary in its scope, equating it to modern US progressivism is like too small beans to bucket together. Pura vida, friend. i do enjoy your job, just consider changing the name 🙂
enjoy your pod*
