The inability of people to defend themselves isn't the only problem. The other side of that coin is the absence of private property. I recall reading a Rothbard article in which he noted that public thoroughfares (ie. government roads, etc.) give criminals direct access to people's doorsteps.

In my opinion, Bitcoin is not a good money because it's a poor store of value because of its limited non-monetary uses. Its rapid rise in price was caused by demand which was caused by hype. In the event of an economic calamity, you'd be better off with tangible money such as silver, which is why I recommended that you buy junk silver instead of sinking money into mining equipment. Junk silver isn't really junk; it's just called that. It means that is used to be in circulation.

Labor Force Participation Remains at 38-Year Low; 94,513,000 Not in Labor Force; Unemployment Ticks Down to 5.0% Unemployment always drops around the holiday season (eg. Amazon hiring 100K for holidays) and then spikes back up right afterward, and then politicians blame the weather for the poor economic news (it's either too cold or too hot to go shopping). The government unemployment statistic is a complete lie. How can unemployment be 5% when only 157M people, out of 330M, don't work?

Don't waste your time on Bitcoin. If you have thousands of dollars to spend on mining equipment, go buy yourself some junk silver instead.

Nancy Pelosi's vineyard makes her fourth-richest Californian in Congress Pelosi is the poster-child for what people refer to as 'limousine liberals.' They live a life of luxury while feigning concern about about the poor, eldery, and infirm, and telling others that they should pay more taxes. Nancy Pelosi has to be among the dumbest people I've ever heard speak. She is also a self-serving hypocrite.
