@NTmoney Ethereum really displaces the legal system as an enforcement mechanism. We no longer need the court system to enforce transactions retrospectively when smart contracts won't allow transactions to go wrong (when constructed correctly).
19th century US bank notes were currencies that were: competing with each other, private, and variable in price. They were regulated from inception but still taxed out of existence by the federal government. seeing numerous parallels with crypto and potential gov policy today.
OpenSea voluntarily decided to provide redress to users whose NFTs sold at old listed prices, even though the party at fault is ambiguous. Can we rely on platforms to refund users voluntarily? Is there a better method to make users whole when something goes wrong?
@RyanSAdams User pressure seems to have made a bigger difference than formal regulation. I've noticed a lot more "edit your privacy settings" options and notifications about apps tracking my location, etc. Voting with your wallet works.
@dcinvestor Do you think there should be an updated ERC for NFTs that includes the capability to will away the contents of your wallet? Or trust that artists will pass their private keys down to their heirs?
@vicktoriouseth I went through this too. Spent weeks looking through female pfp collections of 10,000 before I decided to aim for a female punk one day and get a 1/1 painting by a female artist in the meantime. Ended up very happy with that route!
@MoonbaseOtago@beaniemaxi Yes, that is why I believe self-enforcement within the community is the best approach. What do you think? Also, the blockchain is immutable so the courts would not be able to edit it even if they wanted to.
Ethereum is a nationstate:
- protecting property rights for the metaverse
- creating voluntary rules for commercial activity
- reprogramming value flows across the world
- reinforcing democratic voting for millions
- building an ecosystem of flexible, programmable orgs (DAOs)
@beaniemaxi "code is law" does not mean that whatever happens in a smart contract is legal. it means that whatever the smart contract says will happen, happens. code is an enforcement mechanism, just as the law is.
@motdraw1@NFOGtweets@olivegarden@darden@opensea My understanding of the DMCA is that the platform is required to take down the allegedly infringing content upon receipt of a takedown notice. However, if a counter-notice is submitted to the platform, they must put the content back up unless the alleged owner files a lawsuit.
