> No government is going to let FB and any coalition do an end run around their national currency and their banking institutions. They're also not going to partner with an international consortium to have them replaced with something they only partially control. I disagree. Politicians from many countries have shown a willingness to sell out their own nation. With a high enough time preference it's entirely possible.
