Any currency not backed by a military is doomed to fail the moment anyone with actual power decides they've had enough of it.

Afaik shitcoins aren't even backed by the threat of violence (i.e. "fuck with us and we'll do bad shit").

They only work as long as actual organizations with actual armed forces let them be.

Most people forget how fickle their freedoms are, and overestimate their extent.
