    Hmm while I can totally understand what he's saying to some extent, it does reek of "I'm a billionaire and here are the kinds of fantasies I focus on"

    In the late 1990s, the founding vision of PayPal centered on the creation of a new world currency, free from all government control and dilution — the end of monetary sovereignty, as it were.

    ...what resulted was ugly, oppressive and pretty much universally despised as far as I can tell. Much how I imagine a "libertarian state" would turn out.
