It seems like you are trying to disagree with me, but I don't quite understand how.
My argument is that crypto will evolve into a superior form of government itself.
My argument is that taxes are irrelevant because we can just print money to pay for infrastructure.
You seem opposed to these ideas, but you haven't really explained why these things can't happen.

Do you really expect anyone to be able to agree to pave a road they will never see on a map let alone drive on?

Are you implying that we should be building roads in the middle of nowhere?
Why?
The road either has value and we should build it, or it doesn't and we shouldn't.
Should we pave over the entire Earth with black slurry? Obviously not.

Why would a thriving Hive government not build roads,
but an inefficient trash-pile legacy republic would?

I think the core of your argument is simply that Hive can't be a government.
Although you do not explicitly make this claim, it seems heavily implied.

I would say that Hive already is a government.

Making the transition to materializing in the real world will not be easy.
But I think it will happen regardless of the difficulty, because it has extreme value.
