Many people in crypto want to not have to comply with "real world" laws right up until the point where it would be to their benefit to do so.

And if "smart contracts" depend on real law, then they're not really needed in many of the supposed use cases.

Just because there are crypto anarchists doesn't mean that all crypto proponents are anarchists. And smart contracts (not sure why they're in quotes in your comment) can depend on real law and still operate fine (e.g. I'm sure NBA Topshot would file a legal case again Dapper Labs if they did something significantly damaging to their brand/NFTs, etc.).

That's obvious correct but what's the point? The whole discussion here is that there exists these "crypto anarchists" and their ideal world seems ridiculous to at least a couple people here...
