summary
Argues that freeing capital with Bitcoin and building private, competitive institutions actually shrinks government power: cites Bitcoin as legal currency in Prospera/Rotan and Honduras-style special economic zones, claims Chinese SEZs raised urban wages ~10x over 30 years, points to kids taking Harvard CS50 for free, a Minecraft coder who raised $1.1M and could be worth ~$20M by age 20, and platforms enabling drone delivery, gene‑therapy startups and driverless car pilots via the Prospera governance platform to prove voluntary alternatives work.
