There are all sorts of ideologies (including the one you describe) contingent on the masses spontaneously, and effectively, coordinating in pursuit of a common goal.

However, they never describe how this will occur, except by some miracle. Practically, you'd need to control a sizeable chunk of the global media, internet, etc.

It's especially ironic coming from libertarian circles, because hyperindividualists pride themselves on not participating in mass psychology.

There are no indications that Bitcoin will ever reach even 1% of global transaction volume.
