Long ago:
Shells → witness → fish
Then:
Banking → gold → money → banking
And later, it became more complicated:
Banking → banker → money → government → app → money → market → app → courier → app → user → money → app → banker → banking
Today:
Peer-to-peer.
Why has moving value from one person to another become so complicated?
Sometimes we have solutions, but we also create new obstacles.
Perhaps the challenge is not only creating new forms of money, but making value move directly from value to value, without requiring a trusted third party.
A street note.
