Well, I agree - fewer laws the freer we are.

Where we draw the guard rails will ALWAYS be a debate.

What harms others? What systems take advantage of others? How/were do you draw the line?

To your point - if we have REAL money. Which should drive REAL education and literacy (it always has) 'maybe' we fix the culture of gambling without a law against it?

What if people truly understood the impact of gambling? Would we even have a problem requiring a law?

Probably don't need any laws in a truly educated, enlightened world. So, I agree with you - but it's very hard!

Taking it to extreme. Murder does not need to be illegal in a Bitcoin world. Why? Because everyone knows it's wrong, so it never happens. Of course excluding mentally ill - but even THEN - what if real money fixes that too?

See where this goes? Sounds utopian, but maybe we are getting ready to enter a world of enlightenment like humanity has never seen?
