Why do you expect the government's laws to be forever reasonable, or reasonable for everyone all the time? Can you be guaranteed a vote if you've already been made a criminal? I'm skeptical of BTC as a currency, but divorcing the state from the capacity to control who can transact seems like a fantastic check on government power in a world where surveillance is becoming increasingly perfect. Think of Bitcoin in this context as digital cash, in relation to a a potentially centralized digital currency.
I mean, what’s your plan at that point? Move to the wild with a gun and hunt something for food? We can’t separate ourselves from society, and many countries have a way to reform and defend the direction their government is heading. That’s what we should strive to do.
If I'm frozen out of access to my native currency? Absolutely.
We can't separate ourselves from society, nor should we want to. But we should also ensure checks are in place so that society's capacity to control the individual is not absolute, so as to mitigate the negative side-effects that can spring from its convulsions.
Perfect and immediate enforcement of every law prevents many undesireable activities, but it removes what I consider to be necessary alack from the system. It should be enough that the ledger is transparent, and the law can be retroactively enforced when law enforcement is made aware of the violation.
