And I understand the end of the state and collectivism as a whole is a long way from ever happening, I'm not delusional about that. It is certainly a multi-generational effort. I don't live life angered or upset though, in fact I'm more content and happier that I can see things clearly. I do understand changing people's minds is near impossible, but I do like discussing ideas and making these arguments.
And I do believe the potential for thinking clearly and seeing things for what they are exists in every one. I don't think it's necessarily "free thinkers" vs. not.
The most I can do in my life is live consistent with my ideas and raise two individuals capable of critical thinking.

Quite good answers man. But on the other hand you think negativly about the government. The system. Don't you think the government do good things too?
I was going to add this but I wanted to wait for your reply(A little patience, this time) and see what you had to say.
What I was going to add was, that you could always put things behind you or focus on other things a bit and still have your experience with you.
That is, if you're starting to feel like the world is against you. And the rebel side of you is taken up too much of your time.
Like it almost did for me.
Also, I wonder a little bit about this:

What do you mean. That, if you are born with the right tools, you will see clearly?
Personally, I stopped argueing on forums, a few years ago. It's to no good, 95% of the time. (Just my opinion, though.)
Ever thought, that the bitcoin crazy has gone to your head, and it controls you, and not the government want to control the use of bitcoins?
I'm just half joking, but it could be a possibility.
I also think that with the right contacts and relationships you could make bitcoin the global phenomena, it supposedly should be.
But who is going to do that, when we have dollars, euros and yen? Right?
You just need to sleep with the media a little bit more and bitcoins will be bigger than all those three currencies, together.
