“The most radical application of this idea concerns money and finance. After one-hundred years of government production of currency, and government sponsorship of banking institutions, P2P networks are now providing payments systems, loan markets, and even currency units such as Bitcoin. The implications of this are of course remarkable to consider. It’s one thing to dispense with the need for film processing; its something else entirely to toss away central banks, regulated stock markets, and departments of treasury. These are the heart and soul of political power itself.”
