Jim Bell's theorem clearly demonstrates that the politicians have lost the monopoly on the use of force. At the same time, the politicians have never had any real or valid claim to legitimacy.

Therefore, politicians will have to contend with retaliatory measures, which may make any of their attempts at keeping BTC small, irrelevant.
