No, I'm arguing traditional currency is no longer necessary. Rich people don't own currency, they own assets. Currency is for poor schmucks who don't know how finance works. Currency is for a convenient way of taxing the masses and devaluing their life's savings at the behest of the 1%.
What's the solution? Asset backed certificates. Store your savings in a diversified portfolio backed by the incredibly valuable "means of production". These certificates can be settled in real-time given their levels of liquidity. Merchants can sell things denominated in one asset, and customers can pay with arbitrary certificates (say, apple stock) - settlement occurs at transaction time instantly.
