The legitimacy of a worldwide database can be solved if the UN decides to run a MySQL instance, creates APIs for transactions between individuals, and agrees on a worldwide legal framework for transactions. In the eyes of many this would look more legitimate than the "network of terrorists and CP". I don't think that argument is enough
- malermeister 5y agoThere's already a worldwide API for transactions between individuals. It's called SWIFT.
- cblconfederate 5y agoIt's not global though, countries like Iran have had banks disconnected, and subject to various political interests.
- malermeister 5y agoThat's fair, but that seems like more of a feature than a bug. Why have a system we can't control if there's already one we can use for our interests?
- cblconfederate 5y agothe UN != NATO
- malermeister 5y agoSure, but we != the UN. Why spend energy building something so Iran (your example) can benefit?
