It doesn’t solve anything if there isn’t a functioning legal framework either.

You still have to trust the other party will abide by the results of the smart contract.

If there is no legal framework they could just shoot you and have done with it, if they didn’t like the result.

Smart contracts and blockchains are still laws, just laws for people who don’t like some of the existing ones. Numerical rather than societal.

If there’s no rule of law, then blockchain laws can’t exist either.
