I honestly feel the conversation is not very useful without digging into specifics. Because the specific outcomes we want to achieve and their level of frequency and invasiveness dictates the institutions required to reliably generate them.
The specifics of law & governance are of vast complexity & largely unknowable. We mainly have institutions & laws resulting from millennia of cultural evolution, now the full-time study of lawyers, accountnts, &c.. Only mental children pretend they can reinvent this from scratch.

@NickSzabo4 are you surprised bitcoin is basically still legal? - End of conversation

I'm strongly reminded of Van Dun's "Against Libertarian Legalism", which is a call for humility. It appears that Zamfir is walking in the same trap, by preaching "Crypto Legalism". https://mises.org/library/against-libertarian-legalism-comment-kinsella-and-block-0 …pic.twitter.com/RWi7XwTU3n

We already have Nick's crappy, insecure and aggressive crypto legalism. I would rather just have less legalism than to have this crypto law.

It's not especially clear to me who (in this comment) is trying/pretending to reinvent this from scratch. Who are you referring to?

Legal systems generate the rules governing an economic system for the purpose of making the pair sustainably stronger. "Settling disputes" is way too narrow. Law defines, detects, & corrects non-optimal economic events such as cancer.
-
Agreed generally, tho not sure about the cancer example; I would say that if you zoom out enough, a legal definition of what constitutes cancer, say, actually does ultimately exist to settle disputes (do you have something else in mind?)
-
My objection to restricting it to "settling disputes" is that it does not explicitly include defining & detecting them. It also implies specific parties which does not clearly include prevention of systemic non-optimal conditions such as monopolies, pollution, & lack of roads.

Also, if “crypto law” comes in conflict with the legal system and I feel the legal system is unjust I’d rather use guns to defend against the legal system than try and bend crypto law to be more aligned. I’m willing to die on this hill (Or in a SWAT raid).

From the same place as "he who governs least governs the best"? (That's TJ, as I'm sure you know)

These dispute resolution protocols are what have kept our civilization, well, civil (at least more than it otherwise would have been). Some changes to these will occur as a result of societal developments, but IMO it won't be fast. Probably better to be quite deliberative here.

History has proven again and again that any ever lasting social constructs doesn’t allow predictions for the upcoming 5 years ;) “Young people believe in change, old people in stability”
