cryptocurrency, which operates independently of government control and doesn’t rely on state structures to function.

It magically manifests itself through the ether? It doesn’t rely on profligate amounts of cheap electricity and the infrastructure required to support data centers?

It doesn’t rely on governments that provide a legal and financial system that supports exchange into actual monetary value that the real world requires to operate?

Claiming cryptocurrency doesn’t rely on state structure completely ignores the existing state structures that are required to enable the complex scheme that’s needed to enable its use.

As they say, “we live in a society.”
