Since when has tech culture been about trusting big companies and governments to do the right thing? Sure you can achieve all the same objectives as the currency-side of the blockchain with traditional means, but, fuck the traditional means. Banks are trash, Wells Fargo literally opened fake accounts on behalf of their customers and those customers didn't know. The list of ways that banks have failed people goes on and on: racist loan denials, ATM fees, overdrafting, arbitrary transaction fees for payment processors, and I'm sure there's more that isn't coming to mind. Surprise, replacing the world financial systems is a long road. Personally I hope that we can keep walking on it.
