Anarchy does not imply chaos or disorder.
Yeah... and who's going to enforce that, preventing chaos? Emergence. Spontaneous order. Much lol. Faith. Lol. So that's a coherent counter-argument? Or shall I wipe your dribble up after I translate for anybody older than 5? Are you implying that your "it will work out without any intervention, people are fine and good" is a serious argument? Really?

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Really? Have you done much reading of history? It works fine and better than every other system tried to date. It is the only correct answer you ignorant fool. Begin with such stunning periods as the Enlightenment. Adam Smith, "Wealth of Nations" ... frankly I don't know why I bother you are so far off the pace to be something of a lost cause really. You offer zero counter argument except for some dumb rhetorical, empty queries. At least pretend to be curious.

You haven't really explained how an anarchy might prevent the reintroduction of warlords. If you don't have leaders, then it could be very hard to prevent one from arising.

Begin with such stunning periods as the Enlightenment. Adam Smith, "Wealth of Nations" ... frankly I don't know why I bother you are so far off the pace to be something of a lost cause really. So which countries during the Enlightenment practiced anarchy successfully? I seem to recall most nations were monarchies at the time. You know, kings like Charles II, William and Mary, Louis XIV, Leopold II in Italy (who among other enlightened things abolished the death penalty), etc. Are you honestly citing this period in history as an argument in favor of anarchy? Because in the nations where Enlightenment thinking actually took root and was enacted, it was generally through the absolute power of monarchs. When the monarchs didn't want to go along, they were sometimes eliminated, like in the French Revolution, but they were certainly not replaced by anarchy, but by an even more tyrannical Terror apparatus such as that of Robespierre. When I think of Enlightenment political thinkers, names that come to mind are Montesquieu (who gave the Framers of the U.S. Constitution the concepts of separation of powers), John Locke (whose political philosophy certainly concerned principles of government and not anarchy), Voltaire (who once worked for King Frederick the Great), and numerous others who were known not for wanting to abolish government, but to change its form, particularly from monarchies to republics. Rousseau, I'll give you. Many of these thinkers were deeply influenced by Thomas Hobbes, who was the exact opposite of an anarchist. I am completely at a loss how you can cite the Enlightenment in support of your position.

They are defining irony and are unaware of it. Just like a lot of the commentators on that article. Lots of state stooges there in the comments, aka "useful idiots" in Stalin's words.

Why people don't realize the most simple truth:
Your money -> bank -> not your money anymore!
Banks aren't to be trusted at any point at all! They don't take deposits as depositors money, they take it as "their own money".

Dangerous - to the politicians and central bankers who can't be trusted to "manage" a nation's money supply without destroying its value, yes. Beneficial - to the people of those nations who can use crypto in addition to PMs to protect themselves. :-)

haha, yeah. If there's a 10% across-the-board bailin in Europe (I doubt it), hold on to your coins, it's going to be wild as never before.

Things like this take time, most people are too stupid to understand things that are going on around them. Until it hits them personally. Once enough people are feeling the pain of being ass-raped by the banks and governments, they will look for a solution. That solution will be either gold, silver, or bitcoin. Most likely all 3 of them (some persons get bitcoin, some get gold, some get silver, some get a combination).

Or you could move to the USA, sit on your couch all day, and wait for that government check. Im sure you could get citizenship in a couple weeks if you complained enough too. The banks are crooked, but they wont lose your money.
