Without a clear definition of what Bitcoin is, it would be hard to make it illegal. But if it was, it could morph into so many forms it would take a full time Federal Department of Whack-a-Mole to chase down every new form that Bitcoin manifests.

OK then real life examples. Most great inventors, artists, authors, etc. in history lived on a pension of some sort. They were supported by family wealth or at the amusement of an aristocrat. People struggling to survive don't think grand thoughts. Speaking of which, I must now bow to my master for a few hours.

Scientifically disproven argument. Besides, I didn't posit a method. Read a few books about experimental psychology.

Countries that were conquered during WWII were looted. Switzerland was not a military threat, but would have been conquered and looted as soon as resources were available. Yes, sometimes you have to "shoot twice" that's life. The French Underground was a good example. They never really stopped resisting. So I guess you would never choose violence as a course of action? Ghandi would have been a better example for you, although nowadays they too are a member of the nuke club.

Libertarianism is not based on science. I have no reference for defending it. You have not posited a clear specific argument where AnCap is sustainable. The Wikipedia article mentions historical roots to related philosophies, but that's like saying we have a mission to Alpha Centauri planned because we went to the moon. I think your philosophy has a lot of development to do and probably requires a technological breakthrough of some sort before it should be attempted.

Switzerland was in no position to take sides even if they wanted to. Bad example. What if England chose to remain neutral in WWII?

To answer your scholastic question about the needs of human nature I'll refer to Maslow since he is the simplest to argue. As long as physiological, safety, interpersonal, and esteem needs are met, people will thrive. It should be our goal to create a community that fosters these to the best of our ability. The rewards for doing so will be ever improving technology.

I don't know how much detail you want. That's what Universities are for. Well just look at all the marvelous technological development that came from feudalism. Basically nothing other that sharper sticks and throwing bigger stones. Even before Maslow, Jesus and others said we are our brother's keeper. Since the 1940s when we established social safety nets, Europe and America have created a technological explosion. We make nuclear power instead of just nuclear bombs. We make moon rockets instead of just missiles. If America, Europe and USSR decided to punish Germany by genocide, they would have reverted to their monarchic roots. Instead they rebuild Germany, well mostly. If America had rebuilt Afghanistan in the 1990s, there would be much more progress there.

How would a Libertarian country deal with being in the middle of global conflict?

Think of it as insurance. Instead of paying a premium that pays if you get scammed or paying an arbitration service to settle transaction disputes, just offer your customers Statistical Escrow Arbitration. Vendors can require a down payment to be made with the rest locked in a 2-of-3 transaction. Three keys are created, one by the seller, one by the buyer, and one by an automated third party service. If the two parties are satisfied with their own resolution, then the private keys can go to whomever it belongs, if they cannot, then the third party is activated.

The service might payout to the vendor a percentage based on agreed terms. Depending on the relationship between the buyer and seller it could be 1-100%. The vendor already has a down payment and not as much to lose. Scammers would be deterred by the fact that they will lose their down payment and probably their escrow if they are not rated highly by the vendor. Good customers will be assured that even if something goes wrong and they are not able to resolve a dispute with the vendor, they still have a chance to get some of their money back.

Many businesses offer money-back guarantees. Most businesses allow returns. This can be just a useful good-faith business practice that ensures customers and vendors keep each other honest.

For instance:
100% = I don't trust you yet, but I will not take the money until either the goods are delivered and a period has elapsed. Let's do business.
80% = Our business relationship is improving. I'm offering additional insurance to win you over.
50% = Things are going great. I trust you, you trust me. This insurance will keep things improving.
20% = I really enjoy our business relationship and trust you to make the best judgements.
1% = You have been such a loyal customer for so long that I want you to be happy no matter what. But I at least need a chance to get paid.

Behaviorists believe human nature has needs that must be met before it realizes its potential. Without these needs being met, people are dysfunctional. Libertarianism does not offer to meet basic human needs for anyone other than to say "someone else" will do it.

This system will crumble. What takes its place will probably the same thing that always does. Feudalism. It may be a more technological feudalism, but violence will be at its core.

I didn't define human nature. I said behaviorists are working on that. How do you fix a problem when you can't even define it?

Nothing to see here. Move along.

No you don't. Here is where I call you out  as a Libertarian. Your poster boy Ron Paul wants to destroy the current structure without anything to replace it. I am all for that just as long as he and everyone else is willing to give up all private property and money and start over. But no. He wants to keep his wealth and take away the structure that allowed him to aggregate it in the first place. That's where I part with Libertarians.

Gold and silver are legal tender in Utah.

First you have to change human nature (whatever you think it is). That will take awhile. Behaviorists are working on that, but it won't happen soon. Ford was talking about nuts and bolts, not social mechanisms. Bitcoin is nuts and bolts that make us think about new paradigms, but it doesn't offer any solutions to social problems.

This is why I have abandoned all the movements to change society. John Lennon had it right in Revolution. Bitcoin is a technology that can help bring positive changes. It won't happen in my lifetime, but this is a revolution in how to think about money.

I simply asked for an historical example. The ones I was given were the Vikings that colonized Iceland and Early America that conquered and enslaved indigenous tribes. Neither lasted nor are even theoretically sustainable. I just think that Libertarianism is a pipe dream that does not consider the complexities of global affairs.

Since before you were born.

Vulture Capitalists will never understand Bitcoin. Who cares about them? Bitcoin is their Extinction Level Event.

That's easy, America is a Corporatocracy.

I see the decentralization movement not replacing government, just decentralizing it. Libertarians believe in no government and survival of the strongest. Historically Libertarians practice continuous warfare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-capitalism#History Other than Vikings living through raiding unsuspecting villages, I don't see a culture of selfishness actually working. Eventually collectivism of some sort will overpower warlords.

I can see Bitcoin promoting privacy where government does not interfere with the individual without cause, such as taxation without representation. In fact, Bitcoin will probably eliminate the need for national borders and limit the ability of large-scale warfare because money is globally interdependent.
