That's a great question!

It depends on what you mean by "rules" and "law." An important distinction to consider is:

- de jure vs. de facto.

- laws of nature vs. laws of men

- forced rules vs. agreed-upon rules.

Unfortunately, Bitcoin (like most things) doesn't clearly fall into one category. It's always an amalgam.

Yes, but that doesn't mean that violence and exploitation are off the table.

The least authoritarian society will still exploit and use violence and laws will reflect and enable this.

Yes not saying violence, implying violence can be projected downward and upwards. Turning the panopticon on the “authorities”.

I know. Just stating it because many people think it would eradicate violence.

I’m not sure I understand your last sentence though
