Bryan,
What would you suggest, if I were to interview @ErikVoorhees, I try to draw attention to? I understand the moral message but then of course, that’s ‘not enough’ to make the case.

As you know I have these concerns:
1) that registry and transfer of title are more important than money substitutes.
2) that trading the spectrum of financial instruments is more important than money substitutes.
3) that originating and holding loans and only selling shares in them is more important than money substitutes.
4) that escrow and clearing are more important than money substitutes.
5) that solving ‘banklessness’ is more important than money substitutes.
6) that modern economies cannot function without fiat currency (and privatization of appreciation isn’t earned income.)
7) that States can (and likely will) create digital fiat and will suppress non-state money substitutes.
8) that most states will issue short term exchange for existing digital for fiat digital, before gradually suppressing them.
9) So my question is, are we really so much worried about money substitutes, or even if we only solve the above problems isn’t that enough?
10) Maybe, why not just call digital what it is? Shares in the network (token money), and treat it like any other tradable financial medium, as a way of insulating one’s wealth from inflation et al?

Thanks 😉
