Crypto Doctors of Law = Mid-19th Century Anesthesiologists

I've said this before: Crypto "Doctors of Law" are like Anesthesiologists in the mid-19th century. Like anesthesiology, the nomology behind crypto/blockchain governance is really patient-specific... and the patients never want to know what's going on — in fact, the benefit of the practice is that the patients would rather be asleep or numb. Both anesthesiology and crypto-nomology involve substantial risk. Neither -ology is "necessary" to an economy.

But there are reasons society encouraged, or least didn't discourage, the continued practice of anesthesiology 170 years ago. Persistent experimentation with the alchemy of chemical compounds has made things like open heart surgery possible (if not only less painful). Fixing broken stuff is painful. Now, unlike the 1850s, we have the means to exchange a lot of information and very quickly. Beware of anesthesiologists with a secret cocktail. #opensourcelaw
