One of the points of digital assets is that the code is the contract, so whatever the code says is what was agreed to. There can be no cheating (in theory) hence no need to resort to courts etc.

Oh wait, the two largest losers here BOTH went to court independently. The cryotocurrency community supports the "code is law" talking point only until serious money is lost. Then they go the courts for redress under actual law, or they fork the blockchain.
