Sometimes I read things from crypto maxis and wonder if they’ve ever read what history was like when there was no trust (and thus no credit) and everything operated in manners such as the above.
Like, I get it, I do: the Fed is out of control (ahem, my username) and inflation yada yada. But in no way is this better from a capital efficiency/economic utility/user experience perspective. I’d rather just book a hotel or airbnb where my credit card can play the role of escrow, or judge and jury (or an actual judge and jury if things really go sideways).
