Given the power of technology available to sovereign individuals today, and what we can reasonably expect from now on...
Are Bitcoiners above the law?
and
If you conclude that we mostly are, what responsibility do Bitcoiners have to each other, if the legal system we've functionally emancipated from is hostile enough to ignore, and what should it be replaced with for our own purposes?
I rather like Common Law, and only seek it applied properly.
What is to be done?
We aren't. Not while we have bodies and they have prisons
But, we should be giving thought to resolving disputes among ourselves without recourse to the State.
Common Law of Torts is impressively versatile, its essentially a complete legal system unto itself
I think it will happen organically as we form communities (whatever form that they take).
Fiat rules won't be respected.
Laws will be agreed upon that are aligned with Bitcoin laws. I think fundamental to that is the ability to opt in & out of this new system. It has to be a choice, it doesn't mean there won't be a cost though.
I think the fewer laws, the better.
You would need to be rules on how to interact with the fiat world.
I think you'd probably need to establish some sort of way to settle disputes (some sort of court).
Possession is 9/10 of the law. But it’s 10/10 of the #Bitcoin
