It would have been true if there were not so many networks (SWIFT, VISA, MasterCard, Paypal, Braintree, Google Wallet, Apple Pay, ...). Judging by the increasing number of networks It can only be concluded that its not so hard. Only non pro

Manipulation != Coercion. Yes both are problems but libertarianism claims to solve only one of those. For the other one, if you are unable, follow/place-your-trust-on someone else. There is no need to solve one problem by creating bigg
