"Blockchain can't have tax-slavery because the tax is built into consensus and agreed to beforehand."
[citation needed]
Do I need to describe the many ways guys with guns can force you to pay them?
"...changing the rules is very hard to do. Looking at bitcoin, we see the tax is paying miners with inflation to secure the network."
HF's are not hard to do. How many HF's has BTC suffered? Also, BTC miners are able to charge additionally to incorporate transactions into blocks. Some miners charged as much as 25% for doing so, causing BTC to become essentially impossible to transact with during the moon event.
"Debt-slavery is automatically avoided. There is no such thing as usurious debt on the blockchain because digital identities are independent from the physical world."
Do you not recall Ross Ulbricht?
I dunno man. It really seems like you want to believe so much that you ignore actual results. None of these contentions is true, and they're obviously false. I'd like to end slavery as much as anyone, but the solution is not to retreat to hallucinatory fantasy. The movie 'Brazil' is a good example of how that ends up.
I don't feel like focusing on all the blood/sweat/tears/torture/death it's going to take to get there. Your mindset lately has been one focused in America. Yes, you can stop all of this stuff from happening in America, but you can't stop it from happening all over the world all at once. Crypto City-states are going to start popping up like wildfire and they are going to band together to defend themselves. It's not going to be fucking pretty, I'll tell you that much.
There are rules at the top. The military industrial complex can get away with murder, but they can't get away with everything. The will of the people matters; that's why the establishment goes to such great lengths to manipulate it.
This is an abundance technology;
it can't be stopped because people at the top will fight for it.
They are making money hand over foot, after all.
Yada yada yada.
You'll see.
It's gonna be fucking insane.
The volatility of the entire world is going to start mimicking the volatility of crypto.
Not cute.
I hope so. I've never been hurt worse than by things that were cute.
