Yes, but "there" is only a small part of the full story. When I make a payment over SSL I don't make an immutable, untraceable and irreversible transaction. In order to be able to receive the payment the other party has to register with a bank and other legal entities etc... Putting money to an ethereum contract is closer to sending cash in an envelope to some PO box in a foreign country. Good luck getting it back if something goes wrong.
>Hopefully after said compassionate human had their lunch break.
Humans make mistakes, humans are unreliable. That's why we have a bunch of checks and balances in any decent justice systems to avoid miscarriages of justice. They're still possible, doesn't mean that the right solution is to get rid of it altogether.
>Again, you could also sue someone for tricking you into a bad ethereum contract and it would not hold in court either. Not sure what your point is here.
So code isn't law, law is law? I think my point is perfectly clear, you just keep moving the goalpost. My point is that those "smart" contracts are great for thieves but of dubious values
Regardless, do you think those people whose wallet was compromised because of the faulty contract will manage to get their money back? Who are they suing, the thieves? The wallet company who wrote the faulty contract? How you do get the money back? Can you freeze the account? Reverse the transactions? Blacklist the coins? The whole cryptocurrency system is designed to make those things impractical, if not downright impossible.
Again, great for thieves and black market sellers but if I just want to buy a laptop on amazon why would I ever bother with this? What's the use case?
