One strong attraction point of Islam is the doctrine that there is only one legitimate law maker. All other sources of law are forms of usurpation, and necessarily illegitimate. There is just one metaphysical entity or mechanism, that can create law, i.e. the singular God. When looking at the beginning of timespace, we can see that it is all-powerful in one direction -- i.e. in the direction of the expansion of the universe -- and incomprehensible in the other.
Any other source of law than the One God is simply a reprehensible disturbance of natural law and order. That is the fundamental reason why we must utterly reject man-made law.
Bitcoin does this by preventing governments from changing history, reversing transactions, or otherwise overruling the bitcoin ledger (the "blockchain"). Bitcoin does not listen to any man-made law. The bitcoin network was specifically constructed for the purpose of neutralizing and rejecting man-made law. Man-made law courts may issue court orders that we should reverse a bitcoin transaction, and we will simply not do it. Never, ever. On the contrary, we continuously seek to construct systems that are specifically designed to reject man-made law and its court orders. Neutralizing man-made law is a goal in itself. It is also the original and canonically-stated purpose of the bitcoin project: to force governments and their man-made law decisively on their knees and to restore the natural order of things.
In the following video, Andreas M. Antonopoulos explains why we must put an end to the system of man-made law, and how bitcoin helps us achieving this:
