Consider the following hypothetical conversation between President Barack Obama and the Intelligence team.
President: Hey guys - what's going on. In my presidential campaign I promised to clean up this financial mess, so todays team meeting is about how we clean this up.
Can someone please enlighten me on this.
Agent 1: Well sir the main problem is US debt, it's a monster gone out of control. When the act was created in 1913, they forgot at 1.00000001 raise to n for sufficiently large n will diverge to infinity. We have unfortunately crossed the point of no return.
President: Well, is there a way out, like an alternative currency?
NSA Agent 2: Well sir, there is something, but it's kind of weird and requires a system reboot.
President: Explain, anything is better than this shit.
NSA Agent 2: Well the last president who tried to mess with it got asssinated.
President: I have no plans on going up this way, can we sneak it in.
NSA Agent 2: Well we need a new currency, but if we say that aloud, the whole world will blow up. And we need it to not be backed by debt. Let the old currency work for a while, then we will kick the new one in when it spreads really well.
President: What about currency control.
NSA Agent 2: Well it works on 256 bits crypto.
President: That doesnt translate, english dude.
NSA Agent 2: Well we can control the currency, we can do 2048 bits with our computers for a while now, which means that we can generate new currency whenever we need it.
President: Well, in that case, you have my permission, go for it. God speed, you have my presidential blessings.
