Natural hierarchies are one thing, and "hierarchies" derived from titulary "authority" are another thing.
Natural hierarchies are based on free will and leadership, they are voluntary.
"Hierarchies" derived from titulary "authority" are imposed through coercion or outright violence.
The word "natural" here must be understood in the context of "nurture" and "what gives origin to life" - its ancient original meaning.
Someone could argue that some groups of people have a "right" to predate on others because, just like animals, that behavior "gives them life". And to some extent, in a wicked way, that would be correct.
But the whole point of being human is about learning to defend oneself from such predators. Otherwise explain to me why you are not sleeping in the open in the savannah letting the lion eat you because "nature".
Therefore natural authority/hierarchy must have to do, in a more civilized sense, with voluntary leadership.
In a world of voluntary leadership there is no place for coercion of any kind, including that associated to trade.
True leadership implies teaching by example, and no true leader would ever teach coercion, on the contrary, he/she would give his/her life for those he/she loves. And that includes doing free labor for them, yes, giving away free value for them, yes. Giving one's life means giving one's entire life, out of true love.
If you tell me that this kind of love represents "a threat for the soul", I will respectfully disagree.
Value for value does not necessarily imply money, that is the beauty of it. Also value for value is defined as the opposite of trade.
In such a value-for-value world Bitcoin -or any form of money, for that matter- gradually becomes obsolete, unnecessary.
This scenario can not be achieved through violence, centralized planning, or "struggles". This can only be achieved through voluntary personal growth and a culture of true leadership.
