Humans Who Dream Of Companies That Won't Need Us

Legally, creating a company without humans is impossible, but in practice, well:

Registering Planet Money's Delaware company took one day and three emails. The company that set it up for us asked for absolutely no documentation. I gave them my real name, but I could have been anybody from anywhere in the world.

Of course, opening a bank account to receive the income of those rides would be a different story.

The bank account issue at least is solved by Bitcoin.

Maybe some businesses don't need to be real businesses - especially illegal ones :-/

I wonder about the consequences of running an illegal business on the blockchain, though. Say, a marketplace for drugs on Ethereum. Worst case it would make using Ethereum illegal?
