I agree with all sentiments here, but still have to shave off some edges. If all land is owned and ownership means excluding movement on your land, then how do you move anywhere off your land? Do we become prisoners of our property? Do we put tolls on every road?

I don't want tolls on every road. I also reject the concept of public property. If there must be public property, such as roads, then movement can't be controlled on it.

Take the border with Mexico, for example. If crossing the border is controlled, then the controller can decide one day that Americans can't leave. The same infrastructure works both ways. If I had perfect property rights, but couldn't move across that border, then selling my property and leaving is not an option, which is equivalent to having no property rights.

I want perfect property rights AND the freedom to leave. Compromising on either end effectively makes us prisoners.

But but bbbbbbut... !!! We have to control the immigration! No we don't. There are more options than what's presented. If we abolish minimum wages, then there would be no incentive to violate the law by hiring non citizens ; millions of Americans who can't get hired would get hired. Did you know American companies have billboards all over Latin America telling them to come here? That detail was conveniently left out of the narrative.

The above principle is why bitcoin is amazing. It upholds full property rights because its impossible to restrict its movement.
