I have some questions for you. Would an international shipping and logistics company buy your bags? Would an airline buy your bags? Would an international agribusiness buy your bags? Would a metals mining company buy your bags? Would a global retailer buy your bags? Would a billionaire Saudi prince buy your bags? Would a billionaire Chinese industrialist buy your bags? Would a trillionaire London banker buy your bags? Would a central bank buy your bags? Would a national government buy your bags? Would a military buy your bags?

Oh, how cute! You and your hacker friends are building a new economy! Wow! That's wonderful! Except the economy has already been built. And the people who built the global economy don't need to build another one. They're just as sick and tired of all the endless trillions of paper and electronic currency as you are. They don't need to build a new economy, they need to build a new currency. And guess what? They already did it. They didn't make alot of noise. They didn't announce publicly that they are moving to a new currency. They didn't want to panic anyone. They simply hired a few hundred of the finest programmers and cryptographers in the world, and they built exactly what they needed. Exactly what they wanted. And they quietly released it into the free market to do its work. It's good at its work. They built a terminator. And they sent it to assassinate all of the paper and electonic currencies in their way. And all those gametokens you and your hacker friends built are so... so... human.
