Other Means Principle

Bitcoin is an act of resistance, an attempt to "gain a new territory of freedom."

Freedom contracts through the constant pressure of compulsory financing of the state. It is typical that freedom is expanded through bloodshed, with the specific objective of reducing state power. Bitcoin cannot eliminate the need for personal risk in achieving this objective. However, through risk sharing it can potentially reduce the inflation tax without spilling blood. This will not eliminate tax, however it will reduce state power by making tax significantly more visible.
