But financial institutions and banks are now creating their own blockchains so I guess government wont end.

I guess the end of governments is every person's individual matter. I choose not to be governed and thus to me governments no longer exist. If enough people did it, that would become a cold hard reality.

really? Who collects your bins, provides your local police force, paves the streets and runs any streetlamps? Or who pays the people who do those things?

You are governed whether you delude yourself into thinking otherwise or not.

Wait...you don't pay for your garbage service?

What happens when you have a problem with your service? You can't just change garbage collection companies?

I don't (directly) pay for my garbage service. Zero choice re. who collects it, also had zero problems. I also currently have no choice re. my water, sewage, and power providers. Everything seems to be working OK tho.

My garbage, water, sewage and power are all private companies.

So...the idea that by not relying on government those things go away is a failed assumption.

There are also private roads and private police forces. I even had a private fire department when I lived in Georgia. One of the highest rated fire departments in the state.

I actually did have a problem once with my garbage service. So I cancelled their service and called a new company. Meanwhile the next county over that had a public garbage service was having a big controversy over their garbage service not picking up garbage, people had to complain to the government, the unions got involved, there were protests and hearings. Idiotic.
