One of the things that I think the Cryprocurrency/Precious metals crowds are 100% correct about is that if we managed to wrestle the power over money away from the state a great deal of problems would be solved. The "money printer" has been more of a social engineering tool than a fiscal one...and THAT'S a nuclear warhead against people's individual rights.

I think it's foolish to pigeonhole oneself into particular solutions though. The way I see it is that anything that tilts the balance of power towards the people is (mostly) inherently good. If that's boycotting state currencies in favor of barter, metals, crypto or even just free sharing I'm all for it.

I just don't see many of the government services we take for granted working well without community/public oversight and “accountability”.
