What is your opinion of Crypto-anarchism and anarcho-capitalism?
SwellJoe: It hasn't done much good yet, despite ~twenty years of people talking about it.  So, I'd say, so far, it is ineffective as a movement.The one obvious example of digital currency that was sympathetic to these ideas (e-Gold) has seen the error of their ways, paid some fines, and now acts like any other company dealing with payments and storing money.  So, they're now just another also-ran PayPal competitor, I guess.I'm not sure why they wouldn't be startup friendly...except that if you tried to execute on them as a startup, you'd end up on the wrong end of the law pretty quickly.  So, I guess that makes them bad business for startups.  Peter Thiel is known to be sympathetic to these kinds of ideas, and he's made his fortune in startups (including the already mentioned PayPal).But, I just don't know that there's a lot of interesting conversation one can have on the subject.  It's pretty well-covered ground from a technical perspective.  The problems are political and legal, and those are things that we as hackers and entrepreneurs are generally poorly equipped to deal with.
