"hey let's facilitate this transaction on Ethereum"
"no, that's ridiculous, let's build a clearinghouse, get a bunch of lawyers and have paper contracts drafter, ad deal with differences in international law."
- RC_ITR 4y agoLmfao. What is this straw man transaction that can be settled on ETH (keep in mind, you’re already completely leaning on sunk cost fallacy) but needs a lawyer off chain?! Like, either the terms are known and you put them in a smart contract or they’re unknown and you need lawyers anyway. I dig the energy, but at least be sort of realistic in your “owns”
- hanniabu 4y agoI'm just going along with everyone else's rebuttal of "just use a lawyer", "just use a clearing house", "just pay someone to balance/record your own books", and whatever else they mention to avoid a solution that exists. It's a bit like hearing people dismiss email and saying "just use snail mail", "just have a scribe write the letter for you", "just use a personal carrier so it's faster".
