The problem with your suggestion of moving to Somalia: if you want government, move to North Korea. Do you see the absurdity?

> And re: crypto making government "irrelevant", to use your word, that's not how it works.

It makes it irrelevant by making it more costly for government to remain in control, not by making physical extortion impossible. If you can't easily tax people by just looking into their bank account and finding out whether they owe you tax money, then you need to physically send a police officer to each household to check for Bitcoin wallets or gold or whatever represents value. That's costly.

> If you want good governance that respects individual freedom, you have to work for it. "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance."

Work != voting and believing in democracy with all its bells and whistles. Work means respecting other people's freedom and being able to protect your own. Thinking only government is able to protect people's freedom is like thinking only a slaveowner can provide food and shelter for the slaves.
