Cryptocurrencies: all about being libertarian and avoiding government authority right until you need to threaten someone to get your money back.


To be fair threatening people when they don’t do what you want is very libertarian.


Threatening that someone with a baseball bat, or a gun would be libertarian. Threatening with reporting them to a government institution is ironic.


Shitcoiners are almost completely disjoint from libertarians. Every libertarian I know is only interested in Bitcoin and maybe Monero.
