I can’t speak to the first one But the second one is not that different from the days of writing checks or the risk of counterfeit bills or the rare times when the credit card machine goes down Social responsibility will always be part of the equation in any economy. Trust minimization is a good goal, trust elimination is a pipe dream There’s still trust involved in the eggs not being rotten, for example
