Blockchains are most useful as a tool to innovate in regulated industries. You build a parallel state onchain that subsumes the function of the agency you are competing with. Legitimacy comes from millions democratically opting into the new system. Capital to defeat the old system comes from asset appreciation.

This parallel state onchain can be regulated not by the value extracting traditional regulators but should be regulated by the startup societies focused on that particular industry. This brings competition among 'regulators'. But we're too early to tokenize physical industries. We need to tokenize digital goods.

Trademarks. Copyright. Patents are all good places to start.

But how can a digital society enforce these laws? The only reason you register your copyright with the US is because your ownership is protected by their guns. Your copyright can be secured by Ethereum, but that doesn't prevent others from using your creation.
