So you want to be free(er). There are a few stages of what people do when they realize this. It starts by being this in forefront of your consciousness. First stage is despair - I live in a non-free world. This law and that law limits my freedom. And often not only laws.
Then you start looking for ways out. Second stage is usually looking for loopholes. Yes, I have to pay custom duty if I import coffee, but if I roast it inside, the duty is lower. If I move my business somewhere else, the taxes are lower and so on.
Then you realize that these loopholes take a lot of time and they are constantly changing. Navigating them becomes as difficult as sailing from Europe to North America in a stormy night without stars. You are blind to the future.
(1) I believe that #CryptoAnarchy is the modern, digital iteration of #vonu. Vonu seeks to make one invulnerable to coercion by becoming out of sight and mind of those looking to coerce. This is generally done by way of radical lifestyle changes.
(2) Most of the lifestyles are nomadic in nature. Reason being, if the coercers can't find you, they can't coerce you.
Crypto-anarchy, on the other hand, makes one more invulnerable to coercion by removing attribution for actions, with a focus on privacy and security culture.

(3) Both strategies seek to increase one's personal freedom in the here and now, but not to change society as a whole.
Also, both are more defensive, rather than offensive. Keep coerecers out of our vonu home bases and keep them out of our digital communications, etc.
