GP said "easier", not "easy". Number of people that display an inability to read a few sentences and parse them correctly is frightening.

  > You make a law that everyone must be served by the banks. Easy. This is the one I'm specifically discussing, its from a different user. This is the line that started the thread. Plenty of users are discussing this specific line I believe.

    FWIW, I thought the "Easy." you cite was meant sarcastically. The full context is: > The same as national health insurance. You make a law that everyone must be served by the banks. Easy. and national health insurance is famously a fiendishly hard public policy issue (albeit one for which several competing models exist and have been put into practice). Working from an existing public policy model (like using France's example of offering bank-of-last-resort services through the postal service) still seems way easier than just deciding to solve it with crypto.

      > seems way easier than just deciding to solve it with crypto Yeah, I don't disagree that crypto won't fix this. I just disagreed that it was "easy". I took them as being literal.
