> From a proponent's perspective [throwing out laws] a big point in favour of cryptocurrencies.

I agree. The main goal of cryptocurrencies is crime. You may not like the laws, but that doesn't change that the main goal is crime.

And this is why it'll never be mainstream. Turns out extremely few people actually want the ultralibertarian dystopia where there is no taxes, no drug laws, no reversibility, no accountability, no economic sovereignity, etc… etc…

Coiners are like the people who say "abolish the police" and mean it literally. They want to burn down everything about society because surely out of the rubbles will rise a phoenix of perfection. Surely now that we've thrown out not just the baby with the bathwater, but also bulldozed the whole city the baby was in, the next baby will never even need a bath because it'll magically never get dirty.
