The Post-Bitcoin legal System
or how will we keep the people who deserve to be in jails, in jail.
In USA the Jails are already privatized and I think the world will follow. The governments around the world will go bankrupt (as bitcoin will become money) hence won’t be able to fund the jails.
The only authority the governments will have, will be because the private security won’t be able to solve the public security problem.
Wealthy individuals have private security already but whoever will come up to safeguard the public will become the government.
Pre Word War 2, Gangs gave protection not the government, it will be something like that only, criminal syndicates are already using monero and will eventually shift to lightning.
But who will decide the laws and how will we construct the constitutions?
The narratives are increasingly being controlled by individuals through youtube and podcasts (RSS), Ofcourse governments have their own IT cells to keep their own narrative relevant but it would become more and more difficult as the tax money swindles.
Communities formed by reddit and other forums on the clear web and the onion web have their own set of rules, guidelines and policies. We are in an age of violence through words. Code is the free speech.
We have seen open protocols that have open platforms, like World Wide Web (RFC’s), nostr (NIP’s), email (SMTP/IMAP), RSS etc
But how will we able to solve public security and how we will construct security through new laws and regimes that is the question.
