I think this is the direction we have to take. The legal system is a honeypot for user data, and even the most “privacy-respecting” services eventually bend or break once they’re plugged into it. Anon-run services backed by Bitcoin and economic skin in the game feel like a natural evolution. Trust shifts from paper trails and KYC to game theory and commitment, which is way more aligned with cypherpunk values anyway. Decentralized bonds or staked mediators sound like a solid way to bootstrap trust without central points of failure. The hard part isn’t the legality, it’s designing the right incentives. Build for users who don’t need to trust you.
