Do you realize how dumb this sounds? The government can just shut off your internet. What will you do then?

Where’s your “decentralized” electricity and “decentralized” internet?

>shut off the internet

The economic damage of that alone would inspire and uprising, not because of actual ideological dedication to bitcoin but because Joe six-pack wants his beer delivered and the truch hasn't showed up on the last month due to the crash

Internet is not a human right. It is a commercial product that is usually sold by 1 or 2 monopolies in any given city. A currency based on this would only work in a world where internet and electricity were beamed down from the heavens for free.

You want to defy the state and the banks but your only means of doing so is using a resource they have absolute control over.

Crypto-anarchism doesn't require actual anarchy to function. Crypto-anarchism operates through individual secrecy

Skywire is a replacement for TCP/IP, not the infrastructure of the internet. People pay for the infrastructure of the internet not a particular protocol on the internet. You still would need ISPs and the global fiber optic cable network which is controlled by corporations/banks/the state.

So if Bitcon can only be used in secret by low energy cucks in secret, you’re admitting that Bitcon can never see widespread adoption.
