Hello all,
I just thought that a post like this could be helpful for some people here, because your vote doesn't matter, but you DO have power and control over your own individual lives. I will let you know front that I am an Anarcho Capitalist who does NOT believe in the legitimacy of government. I am also a Trump supporter, and I'm happy to discuss this seemingly antithetical position in comments, but won't go into it here.
Anarcho Capitalists believe in 2 things.
- The non aggression principle
- Property rights
It is a HIGHLY individualistic political philosophy deifying the rights of the individual. This is where every individuals true power lies. What can we do as individuals? Remove yourself from their system as much as you possibly can.

Homeschool your kids. Do not hand them over to government indoctrination camps to be brainwashed and raised to hate you. To bond with their peers more than they bond with you

Buy Bitcoin. By FAR, the largest source of power of government is drawn from their control of the currency. It's how they afford all of their wars, all of their social programs, all of their debt. It's all denominated in government mandated money. There's more currencies out there than just Bitcoin that are worth looking into, and the entire field of cryptocurrencies is disruptive to the power and control the state has over society. The more its adoption is encouraged and spread, the less power the state will have to finance their garbage programs.
Anarcho-Capitalists are great overall. The philosophy is pretty good. Your first suggestion is very on point. This needs to be done.
Your second solution screams bitcoin promotion or low actual knowledge on currency/bitcoins etc.. You can't just buy bitcoin and thus devalue the USD. That's not how it works exactly. Disintegrating from the monetary system is definitely needed but are you paid your salary in USD? Do you pay your taxes in USD? Do you consume all of your products in USD? If so, just buying bitcoin won't do anything.
You are onto something though. We do need to entirely form a new ethnicity and completely decouple from the system. Our own currency or Bitcoin would be a good start. Start up businesses that only accept Bitcoin for example and you should only hire people like you. You should try to only sell to people like you as well. it can get tricky with the laws but that is what you need to do.
I see where you're coming from. Like, even if you DO buy bitcoin, then the dollars don't go anywhere, they've just changed hands. I could/should clarify that I used bitcoin as the "normiest"example to represent the entire cryptocurrency space. I don't actually own any bitcoin myself. I have some ethereum, but I'm actually mostly in a coin called Iota that's attempting to solve the fees problem on blockchains, but any kind of money/currency that is free from government coercion has my full support. This includes gold, but as a millennial, I personally view gold to be grandpa money, and I believe bitcoin/crypto to be superior.
The more that we can foster the adoption of cryptocurrency, the better IMO, because the federal reserve is the heart of the evil that the government is capable of doing.
