"What makes work not slavery? Consent."
Not one slave ever lifted a finger without willing that finger to move. What is coercion? The fed.gov has a gun to your head. The banks outsource force to fed.gov. The happiest slave is the one that believes they are free. They work the hardest for their masters.
This is not freedom.
Yes we don’t have freedom. All I’m saying is companies would have more incentive to be honest and do the right thing for their employees and customers if governments and central banks and their fiat currencies were replaced entirely by decentralized crypto’s. The individual will become his own governor, his own bank, and his own master because of this technology. But people also have to be woken up to the truth and be willing to withdraw their consent to be ruled. Voluntary interaction including selling the product of your labor to whoever you want is the only way to be free. This includes when you go to a company and interview for a job that is voluntary. If you decide to sign a contract to work for them that is also voluntary. You can leave if you don’t like your situation and work for someone else or work for yourself is all I’m saying.

You're not waiting on crypto to be free. Crypto can't set you free because the extant equity holders won't let it. They're not gonna let what is basically a video game destroy their power.
You're free right now if you refuse to capitulate to oppression. I do not recommend doing so, because slavers make offers you can't refuse. However, you can do so in limited degree. The other day I built a shed in exchange for a leather belt.
Good luck taxing that transaction. Sadly, I was coerced into the deal, because if I had not agreed to build it, I'd have suffered the disappointment of my neighbor. If you knew my neighbor, you'd be right that I would have built the shed for free just to avoid the misery disappointing her would have brought me.
Crypto is not setting anyone free. Only you can do that for you, and I for me. Beyond that, no one can really be free. Galt's Gulch doesn't exist.
