mircea_popescu: “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.

mircea_popescu: but in more advanced applications, there's little way to distinguish between "tech" and "the rules of the world"

mircea_popescu: anyway, a very simple example to understand what i mean : suppose the law says nobody may search your house without a warrant.
mircea_popescu: this distinction doesn't work in bitcoin as you'd expect.
mircea_popescu: the particular way bitcoin forces this is through the blockchain.
mircea_popescu: if you take the latter, you can't so asume. the implementation has to be somehow forced to stick to the design
mircea_popescu: if you take the former, you can asume the implementation is friendly.
