So you can describe how the protocol would work at some technical level, but you can't fully predict how people would use it. It may be clear how libertarians would use it. but what about other people?

It's never the "mostly good" ones we have to worry about.

It's that small percentage of sociopathic hierarchy climbers who game
every system in sight regardless of consequences as long it lines
their own pockets with moar.

In the aggregate, that small % of humans, is a depressingly large
number.

And you are absolutely right, and it's a fundamental issue - all
users of any system in issue, not just "thoughtful anarchists", must
be considered.
