Okay, but be honest and call it for what it is — a tool to evade financial regulations. 'Borderless payments' is shameless cynicism. It's like calling illegal border crossings 'borderless travel'.
And what of the people who crossed freely before your cabal constructed imaginary "borders" on someone else's land?
Rules and laws are merely suggestions. I think and live on my own, and follow laws insofar as they benefit myself and others. Show me a tool used to undermine an unjust law, and I'll gladly employ it should the need arise. I'll accept the consequences too, in this venture or any other.
No, for me at least, and for most others I'd bet, it's simply about being able to engage in commerce with other people without an arbiter in the middle. Something like cash or commodity money, which was the norm for all of human history until very recently.
It seems like it would have to be an overstatement to say that any form of money was the norm for “all” of human history. I would think that any form of money (much less something like cash) would be a relatively recent development relative to the emergence of modern humans, though of course no one will ever be able to say for sure.
Well we know money is older than writing, because writing was invented to keep track of money. Prior to that we call "prehistory." Either way, it's an understatement to say that peer to peer money is ancient compared to debit cards.
Is cash "a tool to evade financial regulations"? Did you know that it was the predominant form of money into the 21st century in the developed world, and basically the only option for most people prior to the 1990s?
