Not really - on two key points of libertarianism you simply got it wrong.

I could forget 90% of what I know about libertarianism, and I'd still know more than you do.

You're basically saying that you'll support libertarian principles as soon as everyone else gets with the program, stops interfering with the free market and ceases trying to use govt coercion to get their own way. Unfortunately, that's not libertarian philosophy.
Libertarianism does not hold that the rest of the world must all accept the premises of libertarian FIRST, and all at the SAME time, in order for the philosphy to have social and economic value. On the contrary, libertarians believe that
every increase in the free market, and
every increase in civil liberties, is worth doing right now -- even if the entire loaf of bread isn't coming for years or decades. Holding out until the entire world enacts libertarianism at the same time is ridiculous -- even for libertarians.
As I said: I know far more about libertarianism that you pretend to know, poptart.
