Nothing would be better than the government to be so small we don't know who won and it doesn't matter. It is total irony for me that we argue over who we want to rule over and tax us .
In the general spirit of this article, I wanted to mention that Murray Rothbard's book "What Has Government Done To Our Money?" is available for free at mises.org/money. Everyone should read it.
Excellent post, David! It's always good to get different perspectives on Bitcoin vs Fiat, as Bitcoin is SO multi-faceted.
2 small errors noted: 1] the gigantic donut-shaped (Polynesian) stone money unit is a Rai stone; 2] Nixon "ended the gold standard" in August of 1971, not '73.
I'm willing to take that chance , I see no reasonable alternative at this point . Ending the fed immediately would be devastating yet a better idea than the direction we're currently in. Progress is realizing that you're going in the wrong direction and turning around ,these imbeciles double down.
Completely agree. I am an advocate of separating state and money although this process will not be frictionless. If the state cannot finance itself through printing money anymore, it will shrink drastically. This gives me hope for a freer future.

If more people read some Mises, Rothbard,..., we'd definitely have some problems less.

Thanks Will, I appreciate it!
You are absolutely correct: Those are 2 small (stupid) mistakes, thanks for pointing that out.
Governments do what they can to subjugate their citizens because they know of their own evil tendencies and projections.
The separation of money and state will have enormous consequences.
