Postscriptum:

"You continuously promote a "profit over people" line of thinking"

Does that mean you would like to live in a world where people are not free
to pursue profit, i.e. their self-interest? Isn't the tax system the best
way to re-allocate accrued capital? But as you seem to believe that tax is
theft, there seems to be no way out of this conundrum. If you drive cars or
fly on plans, you support car and airline companies, if you use roads,
hospitals, courts, you support the government. To me one of the most
exciting aspects of Bitcoin is the possibility of creating public goods,
via bundled enforced self-interest, i.e. a much better form of capitalism.
