Yes, but someone or something must enforce those rules. And who decides what that someone or something is?

The person who desires anarchy thinks he will be deciding, but he is underestimating the fact that everyone will be trying as hard as he is to make the decision.

Other people have other plans, for what shall be built upon the ashes. And you probably won't like them.

The owners of property. Markets. Thou can’t steal.

Not all crime is about money.

Non sequitur but ok. It’s all about property. Property owners enforce their property rights.

Yes.

I don't think Bitcoin solves all property crime. Rape, for instance, or persecuting minorities because they get on your nerves.

It might lower the rate, through indirect means, but it won't solve for it.

Nobody said there would be no crime on an anarchic Bitcoin standard. This has gone off the rails with fallacies, so I’m out.

Show me the government law now that stops rape. Crime happens. Free markets are capable of justice and recourse. Bob lays it all out here. https://youtu.be/SQsObJlzI2U?si=YDYf117O_UFLjkAN

It reduces the threat by increasing the cost.

There’s no reason why free markets can’t also increase the cost. You have a lot of studying left to do, start with Bob.
