> You're free to have a national bank, it's intervention if you force me to pay for it or use it.

I am not clear what you are saying.

Are you currently forced to use the US Dollar, and by extension national bank (the Fed) in the United States? Would you prefer to see every private bank create it's own currency?

Given that: "Under 18 U.S. § 486, it's a criminal offense to make or pass any metal coins "intended for use as current money, whether in the resemblance of coins of the United States or of foreign countries, or of original design."

> There is also no such thing as stealing intellectual property.

According to the FBI official website: "Preventing intellectual property theft is a priority of the FBI’s criminal investigative program. It specifically focuses on the theft of trade secrets and infringements on products that can impact consumers’ health and safety, such as counterfeit aircraft, car, and electronic parts."

At this point and seeing the way you argue, I’m not interested in debating about what I would prefer private banks to do. I simply stated that it’s intervention to force me to use some currency, and yes I am forced to use the USD. As is any business in the United States, which is legally required to accept it.

I don’t see the relevance of “it’s illegal” to anything in this conversation.

If I “take” something from you and you still have it, nothing has been stolen.
