We know—if users have access to the right products and financial networks—they'll store value in non-sovereign money

The way most people view this is through the lens of financial nihilism—users are so hopeless that they think degenerate gambling is their only path to prosperity
A more accurate view is that controlling money is powerful. Whoever controls money gets to make money, which means they can spend on a fake balance sheet; they can manipulate markets; they can borrow against reserves.
