Voluntaryism

I apologize as I am not understanding your answers. There is nothing stopping corporations from colluding together. Colluding here meaning "come to a secret understanding for a harmful purpose". Corporations or simply groups of people could collude and define rules within a region without reprisal. If one person, or a group of persons, owns all of the means of production of a single good they will have a monopoly and be able to use that monopoly to extort and control others. You might suggest boycotting that business, a valid point however what if that business provides a vital service or product. What if the oil companies collude together and decide that to buy gasoline you must follow their rules there is nothing to stop them. The inspection fields that you mentioned would ultimately be undercut by the fact that they have no authority over the businesses they inspect. Currently the reason inspectors are able to freely inspect and report on companies is because of the governing authority that they represent. Should a company in our current system deny an inspector the ability to inspect their business the government can legally seize the business's assets and bring them to court for interfering with government business. Inspection companies that you mentioned could simply be refused at the door and not allowed to inspect. Further what would the inspectors being inspecting for? There is no governing body to dictate how a business should run, without such a body the inspectors could brand companies corrupt or inept on a whim without ever inspecting as the inspectors themselves could be corrupt and bought. The cost of maintaining state owned roads, so this is not including privately owned roads, in 2012 was $132 billion. In some states it was as low as $39,000 per mile of road, in others it got to as high as $2 million per mile of road. Just because people need the roads does not mean they will maintain the roads as they are currently. Roads are extremely complex pieces of engineering, different kinds of concrete need to be used in different areas, roads need to be strengthened and reinforced with metal. What about roads between cities? How would they be maintained, the cities themselves do not have governments so what incentive is there for an individual person to want a road they might use once every few years maintained. A more likely scenario is again corporate collusion, corporations, and in many cases gangs, without fear of reprisal from a government could easily establish tolls that would restrict trade and free movement of people. This restriction on movement is only one of many ways that the wealthy and militarily powerful could control the weak and poorer classes. While you say the bitcoin would be an effective currency it has no actual backing, by opening an bank and establishing a currency backed by precious metals, barrels of oil, or some other physical object this new currency would far out strip bitcoins. With no governing body requiring the use of a single currency a gang or corporation would establish a footing as I described above, creating a monopoly or trust to control the wealth in an area accompanied by restricting movement by establishing exorbitant tolls, could choose not to accept bitcoins at any of my businesses and only allowing the use of currency issued by their own bank. They could then make the exchange rate between bitcoins and their own currency extremely unfair thus increasing their own wealth and devaluing bitcoins. While you have given people their ultimate freedom you have also exposed them to all the nefariousness and evil of man. There is no part of history in which you can look and not see what I have described above the Roman civil wars, The French Revolution, The Russian Revolution, the early 1900s in america, the 1800s in south america, etc ad nauseam. These terrible times in which you see some of the worst of humanity did not end or become better because people volunteered to do so but because they were forced to do so by governing bodies. My final point is a question to you. How would an army be maintained by such a society? If your response is there would be no military, then how would such a society not be taken over by a foreign threat? If your response is the military would be a volunteer military, then how would such a military be structured, regulated and trained? Most of all how would we prevent the leaders of said military from simply establishing a military dictatorship?
