    What’s absurd is this crypto maximalist take.

    You can’t just make up your own permission and punishment system, and then expect the legal system to just step aside and let it handle all disputes, especially when it comes to fraud. That’s like founding your own city in an existing country, and declaring all existing law obsolete. I know some people think this is a real possibility, but the real world doesn’t work like that.

      The “real” world works however the people want it to.

      As it stands, it works with laws that protect the rich and elite with superior rights.

      Someday, maybe the people will decide on a more equitable system. Nature and mathematics might be heavy contributors to that system.
