    No, but it IS a sign that it is getting difficult for a central bank to get people to accept it's currency. I've already discussed this too. RQAA.

    You can't explain it, since you apparently have no idea what 'anarchy' means.

    True. I think you are trying to define 'anarchy' as the same thing as 'free will'. You really should learn English.

    Buzzword fallacies. Define 'intrusive government'. Define 'protective custody'. A street doesn't necessarily depend on any government.

    You are still trying to impose your bigotry and racism. Go fuck yourself. These ugly fallacies have no place here.

    The cul-de-sac is afraid of the illiberal world.
    A cul-de-sac is just a road. Anyone can live on that road. Liberals, conservatives, or any mix in between.
    Bigotry.
