Even if this is true, what in the world is the point of crypto platforms if courts need to step in and decide intent whenever someone doesn't like the outcome of a transaction?

> what in the world is the point of crypto platforms

Excellent question, one that crypto dudes could ask themselves a little more often.

The point is to speculate in assets hidden from the tax man while destroying the environment. So far, crypto is still living up to that promise.

It is the wet dream that some 100 line script will eventually become the only and unbiased arbiter and judge of anything in the world of finance.

You are probably reading this comment and thinking "yeah, hah, naive fools". About as naive as the fools, that believe in a 100 line program, that gives you a puzzle that nothing will realistically ever be able to solve, yet the program could tell immediately if the solution is wrong or right.
