Talked to a client banker earlier about the global financial system.
He categorically dismisses the idea that bitcoin can act as a global reserve asset, and says that in the event of a financial crisis, someone will have to bail out the system. This is where central banks come into play for him. "Bitcoin does not have a central bank".
Dude, we wouldnt have a systemic crisis resulting from cheap credit, excessive leverage and moral hazard on a bitcoin reserve asset standard.
As a financial market participant, you will be forced to act honestly, otherwise you will quickly find out that fiat games don't work on bitcoin.
