I'll bite: this stuff wasn't invented so that we could create settlement layers between big players and custodial solutions for us plebs.

People that talk like this aren't after peer to peer digital cash. They just want the big boys to have to buy their bags so they can get rich. Well you can't be rich in chains, it's a gilded cage.

Custodial banking and swift. That's what's being cheered on. Is that what you want? That's not what I want.
