Revival? Even at the height of the bubble nobody actually used it in real world transactions.
Meanwhile the evil banks are bringing us ever closer to the cashless society of instant electronic payments we all dreamed of.

I feel like at least the payment processing part of finance today is something ripe to be nationalized if you had a democratic representative government you would trust to do so. It feels exactly like infrastructure, the same way fiber to the home should be a public works project, but instead its possessed by global corporations using rent seeking and crowding out effects to make gross amounts of money off of it.
