I think they are interestingly intertwined questions. If something happens that's egregiously morally out of bounds, then people will find or create ways to enforce against it. From the other angle, existing enforcement mechanisms will impose themselves as trying to define what moral is. In a way, besides the little selfish gains, I may be fatalistically trying to define "code is law" as moral because it is what I am presently capable of enforcing. Maybe I'm just talking myself in a circle; it's good fuel to ruminate on.

> If something happens that's egregiously morally out of bounds, then people will find or create ways to enforce against it. I think you left out "and a lot of money is involved". Do you think there would have been an emergency hard fork if the DAO only had $100 in it? I sincerely doubt it. > existing enforcement mechanisms will impose themselves as trying to define what moral is. Morality and Law (code or not) are different things. You can't code morality - you can only encode the programmer's morality. (Which is not the same thing, because the programmer can change his/her mind.)
