That's what I'm saying. Those are the things that need to be fixed, not cash mandates.

But there can't be any such guarantee, because a centralized system is too easy to take control of. If a government at some point wants to freeze your assets, you're done. With cash, at least you have some options.

By the same logic, if the government wants to murder you, it can, so why live?

Just to go with this weird analogy, yes, I'll prefer to be immortal rather than to trust that the government won't try to murder me.

Don't complain to me if this doesn't make sense, you started it.
