there's a place between anarchy and the government dealing with all issues, where the private market can handle most of the contentious situations - actually that's already pretty much the case, the issue being that court process is too expensive, and the private sector too. but there is a lot of progress possible on that side (enforcing property rights for cheaper prices) and I see the success of bitcoin as a step in that direction, not that bitcoin enforces property rights fully without law, but that it naturally works better without the need to resort to law, so for most situations it is much better - and law will always remain as the fallback for cases where technology reaches its limits, which it will always have.

Craig has definitely shown more teeth than probably anyone - but if the courts don't believe him, and his character is not exactly one that is easy to believe given that his mind works differently than most - then it can also, and to this day has, have a negative impact even on those that would benefit from adopting scaled Bitcoin. I now believe the only way we will convince them and succeed is first by economics - and law only later. And it can even be said than once the economic war has been won, we will not care as much about the law wars.
