Confession of a bitcoiner: I’ve never read the sovereign individual, until now.
Well, I started reading it. And beyond whether I agree or disagree with some of their beliefs/thesis, it brings up a bigger concern for me:
They’re getting a lot wrong, and failing to see the power and might of the U.S. and global coordinated effort that I think they believed would be well on its way to crumbling at this point?
This is my fear with many Bitcoiners as well — you live in a libertarian utopia, assuming others will join, when the fact of the matter is the U.S., the dollar, military global industrial complex, coordinated big tech, etc, is stronger than ever.
The hopium can’t block out the reality of the forces that plague humankind for the next century—it’s going to be a tough battle. The “sovereign individual” doesn’t automatically win…far from it. It has a higher chance of losing, unless we all do something about it. (I prefer sovereign communities, but maybe that’s the leftie in me 😉)
But I’m hopeful justice, peace, and freedom will win! We must be realistic about what we’re up against though.
