The anarcho-nut job market is not large enough to support companies like Coinbase, Circle, BitPay, and the many new companies that want to get involved.
You are misrepresenting my views as I have repeatedly stated that Bitcoin is for everyone and not just the "anarcho-nut job market ". We can all interact and benefit from the blockchain together.
The same think happened in the early days of the Internet you had people who insisted there would not be any ads on the Internet because it was for research. Others claimed the Internet would be free from regulation, etc. They thought that because they were the early pioneers that they would control things forever. Remember when they all got together to turn the web pages black in response to promised censorship laws? Not only did the people in power not care, the whole protest with black web pages had to be explained to them. The same thing is playing out in Bitcoin. The wing nuts are on the road to obscurity but they are doing damage at the moment.
I am fine with states , governments and foundations creating regulation. You seemed to be confused with the Anarchist position and our ethics. If people want to use a regulated bitcoin , than I encourage them to do so.... as long as they do not use violence to force me to agree with their policies.
Of course most will outgrow the nonsense and turn into normal people.
You seem to be under the impression that the cypher punks represented some idealist punk teens when it consisted of older cryptologists, mathematicians, and programmers. There is nothing to
outgrow as many come into anarchist ideals from a lifetime of research and philosophical reflection. Do a bit of research before misrepresenting our history.
