Tech moguls want to build a crypto paradise on a Native American reservation

You're going to call protestors "agitators" while the broligarchs keep coming up with the most outrageous, evil bullshit they could think of, just for the hell of it.

Me? I didn't say anything.

Well then, I guess it must have been some other Pudutr0n. You're off the hook, for now...

I mean there aren't a lot of us. Just me and the robot.

Look into the history of libertarians trying to set up paradises of like minded people to find out why this will fail. They start into the 19th century and just keep failing.

When everyone is out for themselves, the very basics of civilization collapse.
Empathy and pro social behavior are key to our survival and evolution as a species. Oligarchs and unbridled greed are a violation and exploitation of the social contract and bottleneck progress and healthy societal functioning.
The Bioshock games weren’t just spun up out of nowhere.

I'm not surprised by more of this sovereign state nonsense, I'm just disgusted that they're proposing building it on a reservation.

Because they want to build and experiment without all the red tape. Of course they do and people have to relearn why regulations are written in blood.
They hate the FDA, but one of the reasons it exists was because some folks sold radioactive beverages, mascara that caused blindness, a bunch of snake oil and medicine that killed people and/or caused deformities.
Adventures with financial deregulation and crypto haven't been much better so far.

BTC is useful though.
It's very easy to judge from the EU, but if you are in Russia and need to pay for something in the interwebs, it's very convenient to have an imperfect, but kinda functioning system like this.
(Idiots replying with "go rebel" or "change location" need not bother, I happen to have family, friends, dog, ASD and BAD, my sister who's on my support every time she makes a planning mistake can change location, I can't. I'm also not a Jedi chosen one to have useful options of "rebelling".)

Libertarianism doesn't deny empathy and "pro social behavior" (as an autistic person, I rarely see it toward myself, not being liked and not making right faces - apparently not deserving of it, but OK ; it's already good if those "pro social" people don't consider it normal to steal from you when they don't like you), it actually relies on those more.
The issue is that it's something that needs scale and consistency. You can't just assemble a bunch of idealists and crooks and expect them to make a working mechanism.
I don't think there were many more successful attempts by left anarchists.

Is that different for non-libertarian paradise-building attempts?
I swear, you guys just apparently decide nobody will ask the obvious questions, because libertarians are an allowed target.

It's the deregulated part that's an issue when people lose their life savings and nobody can help them because no regulations.

Btc is not a reliable payment system. It is neither stable, nor is it in any way anonymous. So instead of being secure, you are quite literally a glass person
Or in better words: ever heard about Monero?
