    Making good law requires much time and pain: https://unenumerated.blogspot.co.il/2008/02/discovery-of-law.html … Applies to good governance too. There's been no blockchain breakthrough in better governance. What public blockchains enable is the operation of some important institutions like money with far *less* governance.

        So, a blockchain approach wouldn't work in politics. Thanks for clarifying.

        No, but in some cases it can substitute for things that often have been (or at least many people think should be) controlled by politics, for example money.

        That stuff is a higher layer "protocol", not necessary for the good functioning of the money itself, just often for the best use of that money.

        Is it fair to say the fragmentation of BTC into BCH etc is evidence of a lack of better governance?

        Third category in addition to common law and statutory law: regulatory-agency-created "quasi-law" implied by patterns of discretionary enforcement. This can be the most dangerous.

        Depends on your definition of ‘law’. Code can act as one of many forms of ‘law’ and doesn’t necessarily require a group of people to decide on ethics & philosophy.

        Possibly the same amount of governance but more efficient as it transitions from wet to dry?

        Law is science. Legislators only need to discover it. It seems so obvious now. Once again, thank you for sharing your thoughts. 🤓

        The ability to set precedent in future cases will be how the blockchain will help develop the legal aid.

        Your Gov is 2 narrow. Money / Trade / Base is Protocol (functionality). Distribution Governance is different. 12.5 BTC vs 1 BTC per Block, changes nothing in Function. It’s Distribution. Method of decision = Social Governance. /1 of 2

        None can justify 12.5 BTC per Block AND it violates White Paper ‘one Node one Vote’. False Promise? This is failure of Distribution. Solution is Complex. But one can limit significance of mistake by 1 BTC per Block until Solution Known. Or are Errors best Forgotten. /2 of 2

        Blockchain solved governance at the infrastructure level, but not at the superstructure level (development, social attacks)
