Ya there's a neverending pushback of centralized and decentralized forces. Like, camera surveillance for a grocery store is fine and it makes sense. Though I draw lines regarding surveillance from a purely tech perspective. I know I draw some lines about what's ok for me to do in regards to decentralized tech but that's more a personal "don't" than "the tech needs to be limited."
In regards to taxes in the west, man I would love it if we were on a Bitcoin standard. Then maybe we could become educated about issues that the government could help with and we could vote with our tax money effectively. If someone doesn't agree they don't have to pay the tax. Taxes could actually function and work properly according to what the people deem reasonable. As long as the people can be reasonable. Which might also be a tall task in and of itself. At least this could be a systematic nudge towards something better.
