Uudet otsikot: Re: [unSYSTEM] cooperative business models through bitcoin
Aihe: Re: [unSYSTEM] The law of the free
"I prefer to keep Bitcoin pure, simple and focused. Value transfer from A ?
B. "

Almost all meaningful economic transactions involve third parties.
Governments and courts evolved for precisely this reason. Contracts are
enforced by the law (and thereby the power of the state, as Mike pointed
out). The question very much remains how Bitcoin improves at all on
economic transactions. I think there is a lot of confusion about this, to
put it mildly. Much of what is written is not very well intellectually
grounded. Courts, democracies, governments evolved over roughly 1000 years.


Mastercoin and BIP70 are good examples of how the Bitcoin community really
fails to acknowledge some basic fundamental principles of how economic
transactions and contracts work. Which is why we haven't really seen any
major new use case, besides those which involve activities which bypass
laws (donating to political organizations which Visa & Mastercard don't
like). Bitcoin is very far away from changing any of this, especially if
does not add any layers which make it useful. However, once such layers
would exist the potential is almost unbounded.
