I see your point, but again, where in the bitcoin white paper or in satoshi’s writings does he mention that the fundamental purpose of bitcoin is to render a kleptocracy impossible?

Taxation and wealth redistribution are facts of the state, like it or not. Whether held in dollars or gold or bitcoin or nuka cola caps, as long as a state exists, taxation will be a mandate.

All I’m saying is let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Bitcoin is better money that renders a lot of our legacy financial sector obsolete. But it doesn’t replace the state, and it isn’t a codification of any values aside from the need for trustlessness and self custody of wealth in an increasingly digital society & one in which the financial sector wields undue influence.
