I KNOW IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL YOU'RE A FUCKIN AUTIST JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN CRYPTO AND SEE YOU MIGHT THINK I'M YELLING BECAUSE IT'S ALL CAPS AND SWEARING BUT THIS IS JUST MY NORMAL VOICE.

but yeah you really should not be shocked about anarchy because anarchy is the entire thesis of crypto. Most people view anarchy as lawless chaos where anything goes but the actual definition of anarchy simply boils down to something like "Rules without Rulers". There are still plenty of rules to follow you just can't put a person in charge to enforce them. Either everyone has the authority to perform a certain action in a certain situation or no one does.

Oh the base level crypto already accomplishes this on a rudimentary level. Algorithms and smart contracts on the network run themselves without interference. Because the digital landscape is infinite in nature and everyone here gets to pick which type of governance they want that is also inherently anarchist.

Plenty of arguments for why Hive is not anarchist, as the top of DPOS is much more akin to a new type of republic, but also that republic is not creating laws that we have to follow under the threat of imprisonment or death. Everyone has the option to leave (and more importantly cashout) whenever they want. Nobody's bank account gets frozen ever... except for that one time when the person in question threatened to destroy the network and actually had the power to do it using stake that never should have existed in the first place. Some would argue that being able to handle extreme outliers such as this is a good thing, and others would not. Which is kind of the entire point: we get to choose where we are and what we agree with as long as there is a network that represents our interests.
