So...it's decentralized but if you don't like how it plays out then you run off to a centralized power structure to fix it?

- splix 5y agoNo, it's just unrelated things. Nature is decentralized. But if you car was burglarized, which is perfectly fine under laws of nature and the glass physics, you still call the centralized police.
- rozap 5y agoExcept whole promise of the crypto-anarchists, decentralized autonomous organizations, tornado, etc, etc was to break free from the tyranny of government. Then when shit invariably hits the fan, they run to the FBI complaining about how they got robbed. The features that support money laundering and tax avoidance mechanisms that underpin the vast majority of actual money flowing through the crypto space are in direct conflict with the gov organizations that we are talking about here, so it's not like these things can coexist together in the buckets of "natural law" vs "government law".
- splix 5y agoOkay, I guess there are people who consider cryptocurrency as opposition to the government. That's fine. But how it relates to the current situation and specifically to the "Code is Law"?
- i_love_music 5y agoHa yes exactly. "We have transcended the need for rules. Except this one rule. And maybe another rule if you keep being mean. And if you break that rule I'll call my mom on you"
