Anarchy, however, throws out the baby with the bathwater in
that it doesn't recognize the rule of law at all.

You had me until that last sentence. This is exactly how people argue against bitcoin claiming it is unregulated and chaotic when nothing can be further from the truth.

Anarchy does recognize laws and governments can exist as long as self ownership, and the non-aggression principle is recognized. I understand it may be un-intuitive because we are so familiar with rules, laws and regulation to be enforced through the violence of the state, but anarchists posit the existence of less corruptible and more efficient ways to regulate without coercion.... and Bitcoin is one example.
