Back to bartering using multiple mediaries like it used to be.

The only problem bitcoin and other crypto currencies have is the hard finality.

Negotiable instruments — checks, notes, sometimes bills of lading — have been the classic instruments used to facilitate trade and have very specific, nuanced rules that facilitate those transactions, and it works. The lack of warranties and ability to unwind transactions is missing in crypto. See UCC Article III for more fun!

We also use protocols like cashu, fedimint, Liquid and timelocks to facilitate simmilar transaction types.
