It’s simplistic but I see two general directions to preventing “bad” bitcoin usage:
  1. Rules that can’t be misused (laws that can’t be broken)
  2. Rules that allow people do what they want so long as they don’t harm other people (natural law)
    • imo results in a natural ratio of good people relative to bad people, good participants greatly outnumber the bad, and bad people have fewer incentives to be bad
