Let me decide if my child need schools at all.

I'm starting to understand. Your parents, the "Libertarians," decided in their wisdom that you didn't need no schoolin' at all.
Let me take up the slack and do some remedial schoolin' here.
Your illiteracy and ignorance hurt others around you. You become what's colloquially known as "an embarrassing burden to society." The likes of you do not contribute to economy but drain it - living on the fringes and at the expense of mankind.'

TL;DR: Education is required to get a jerb in this, the year of our Lord 2 naught candlestick 4. Without it, you wind up pretty much where you are now - spending your dole on Beanie Babies because freedoms.

My parent are statists, it is not until soon that I became libertarian and cared a minimum to economics. (Bitcoin drew me in the rabbit hole as well on the technical side than on the economic belief of some of its supporters)
I did not knew what was a libertarian at the start of 2014, and did not even know I could consider myself "statist" at this time.

Being a burden to society, means that you are living off subsidies and not providing any value.
Which is far from being my case. I live thanks to subsidies though.
I am an independent developer, largely self taught. My customers hire me not because they are obliged to, not because I am protected from competition, but because I make them earn time and money.
I never had a single day looking for customers, they all come from word of mouth. (not a single time until now, from 8 years ago, where I started working as independent and trainer during school instead of being intern)
Given my limited time, choosing a customer is a function of belief + $$$$ + flexibility. And when there is subsidies (training), $$$$ goes higher. I profit from these subsidies more than I am paying them.
And I will profit of all I can given my knowledge.

I also created the biggest open source .NET library for Bitcoin, NBitcoin which work on Windows, Android, and IOS plateform, that lots of entrepreneurs are using.

If you are interested on the technical side of Bitcoin, you can take a look at the numerous article I wrote.

This is the value I am adding to Bitcoin, and I will continue to do so for forseeable future. You can also hire me for technical training, feedback has always been great.

I prefer fighting with reason than parade, to which Libertarian gave me more coherent responses than statists. (If I respond with parades sometimes, it is just laziness to argument my points. When I do that I admit that I should keep my mouth shut. Wink

)
I'd like some coherent reasoning or historical example that explain me some limits of libertarians, but I have not seen Rothbard trapped yet, discussing on this forum is very instructive though.

If you want to prevent me profiting from the system, considering it "unjust and childish", you'll soon arrive at the conclusion that libertarianism is the only answer.
