This convinced me to not waste another second on Ethereum. It serves a self-defeating purpose, and I think it's diametric to the hacker ethos. Bitcoin is neat because it can't be controlled, nobody can tax it or pose fees on it. It's free market at it's very best. The bitcoin protocol is weak, but luckily developers are strengthening it all the time.

Laws as a general concept are diametric to human nature, and they should be avoided whenever possible, especially in regards to social realms like bartering and contracting and the like.
