What you are advocating for is undemocratic lawlessness. Which, ultimately, is what many arguments for crypto boil down to.

  > undemocratic lawlessness What is that supposed to be? It’s not a known concept. If you think it means something you should define it. As a lawyer, it’s perfectly legal to circumvent a law by designing around it. Crypto does that perfectly. So does everybody else. Heck, the whole open source movement does it.

    If you willfully ignore regulations you don’t like, ones that were established through democratic processes, and advocate for others doing the same … that’s undemocratic lawlessness. If instead you are saying that it’s good to find loopholes in laws that violate the spirit of the law, but not the letter of the law … well, you just explained why smart contracts are stupid and will never work. Edit: by your definition, this “hack” was just innovation designed around the “law” of the smart contracts ;)
