Economic Secession

Economic secession happens when consumers go rogue from the government and its currency, deciding to conduct their economic business outside of the usual economy with the usual currency.

By removing yourself from a country’s economic network, you can avoid some taxation and overall be less over-lorded by the government.

If you’re thinking “uhhh, Bitcoin?” yep. That’s a form of economic secession. So are Amish and hippie communities that use the ol’ barter-n-trade system. This gets back to the age-old argument: does government give us more freedom, or does it take freedom away? Well, depends on your definition of “freedom” and maybe a few other things...like how wealthy you are and how much discrimination you’ve had to put up with so far on this here blue marble.
