Perhaps there is some hypocrisy, but I think your comment borders on a common fallacy. The fallacy says that an idealist is hypocritical for using real-world resources which wouldn't exist in his ideal world. It says a communist is hypocritical for wearing shoes made by private enterprise, and a libertarian is hypocritical for buying liquor at the state liquor store, in a state which has that system. It ignores the issue of bootstrapping. Those who dream of the future must necessarily exist in the present and use the resources of the present. If (and I'm not persuaded of this) some BitCoiners want a future without regulators, they presumably want some other mechanism to replace regulators, just as the communist wants a people's shoe factory to replace the capitalist shoe factory. |
