Just as 16 century Protestants began to question the doctrine of the Pope, so too came to wonder a bunch of nerds and cypherpunks:

- is inflation necessary?

- should central banks have the right to set the price of money?

- should the State have full discretion over one’s savings/spending?

- should savers really be forced to trust banks (and ultimately, the taxpayer) to redeem and honor their savings?

- what does an entry in a bank’s database really mean?
