E2EE and blockchain/btc/alt are all, indeed, “just math”.
You’ve noted the status quo that is rapidly becoming cemented, albeit in an hn echo chamber presumptuous of a supermajority consensus on E2EE as it may or may not correlate to libertarian ideals vs. state surveillance (i.e. most don’t even have the technical proficiency to vote, thus this assertion is flawed from the start).
This issue is more complex and dynamic, given proliferation of ubiquitous technical surv not monopolized by nation states. Cooperation is the social lubricant of a functioning government, which is often lost on libertarians. Technical libertarians are often the worst offenders of provincial groupthink.
