I don't understand why you think a person with experience in the banking and software industries who wrote a detailed post sharing thoughts on Bitcoin and surrounding culture, with links to reference material that he believes supports his argument, is 'disconnected from reality'. All I see in your post is a really weak generalization of the themes of his post in an attempt to undermine them.
Save your unsupported observations and your fucking breath.
Your contributions and the contributions of other libertarians in this thread amount to little more than endlessly bleating that (in the opinion of the greedy), greed couldn't possibly have led to financial calamities, and that impediments to greed like democratically elected governments and legislated, popular laws are to blame for financial calamities....the disasters that history has shown repeatedly arise only when those same laws are weakened.

I think this kind of statement speaks for itself.
> other libertarians
I'm not a libertarian. I think libertarians are terribly mistaken.

That's right. When "deregulation" actually means something like "let's allow private ownership and operation of a coropration that has a government-granted regulatory monopoly," it is a total disaster. You have to get rid of coersion from the market completely for it to function as a market. So I agree with you---a mixed economy is complete and utter crap.
