The good news is that the scenario described won’t happen. The author had to write Bitcoin out of existence to make it work (emphasis lost on Nostr): > “The dollar is a historied currency that’s stabilized the international economy for over a century, Wilbur. The bancor is an upstart pretender whose constraints are unworkably strict. We just have to hold our nerve. After all—look at what happened to _bitcoin_.” That’s the only mention. I think the author understood full well that a non-state hard money would destroy her premise, and so just handwaved it away.
