Part 9/14:
The Future of Governance and Power Structures
A provocative question raised is the role of the state in this new paradigm. Some participants express skepticism about traditional government structures, referencing classical thinkers like Mises and Rothbard, suggesting that state control over money and information is increasingly obsolete in a Bitcoin-driven world.
The analogy of Bitcoin as a "gunpowder revolution" resurfaces, emphasizing that technological tools—whether guns or digital assets—are neutral but can be wielded for good or ill, depending on societal choices. They underscore that scarcity and sound money principles could weaken state power, fostering a more decentralized and voluntary form of governance.
