resolutionaryman: The phone, computer, or tablet being used right now to even ask this question — was that acquired without fiat? Perhaps, the many do not want to go against "legal tender". Do you know of anyone who has paid for a parking fine with crypto?

I really respect how deeply you're looking at this—it’s a massive challenge to try and step outside the fiat system. But it always makes me wonder about the practical boundaries of total purity in the modern world. Personally, I don't know anyone who has successfully paid a parking ticket in crypto (honestly, I’d just be looking for any way out of the fine!). But it opens up a fascinating paradox. Even if someone manages to bypass fiat for a moment, how do we handle the rest of the infrastructure that made the ticket possible in the first place? The fine only exists because we accept state-issued license plates, vehicle registrations, and VIN tracking. If we are aiming for true purism against state control, doesn't complying with vehicle licensure track us into the exact same system? I’m curious where you see the boundary between rejecting state money but accepting state identity for our property.
