As long as corporate banking is our value store that’s true.

I’d rather see humans themselves as our value store and motivate, teach, and mentor each other to do the logistics work to that end.

Letting banks gamble with our deposits when we’re all in the habit of doing these things daily anyway seems like pointless extra steps.

I think people are more willing to be a stable mesh network of agents for each other than history full of feudal warlords will let us believe, we don’t need to prop up ephemeral tent poles. That’s just old story.

Bonobo tribes have been observed killing alphas and then developing social harmony. Not saying we should behead billionaires, but austerity for elites would be a figurative death.
