Apart from Bitcoin, War? 😂

Bitcoin is being slowly taken by institutions precisely because they bring the element of trust But maybe it's not a bad example because it shows that in lieu of trust you need to introduce something like Proof of Work which by design is as energetically wasteful as possible. And that's an expensive solution in the long run I always think that Jews in Antwerp run diamonds efficiently because they have high levels of trust and it builds a stronger system --- War is not a system per se for me. I don't know if I understand it as an example because you still need trust among your soldiers otherwise controlling soldiers becomes a burden (like NKVD following soldier during WW2 to shoot them as soon as they desert). A lot of military training is about making people trustworthy
