(Also Larry White's description of free banking). My two-layer architecture (bit gold for the basic currency and settlement, Chaumian cash for the retail "bank notes") was inspired by the free banking system of bank notes redeemable on demand for gold at a gold window.
The lesson I drew from that and other aspects of history that the real money in these circumstances was gold -- that is what people wanted at the end of the day. If the gold window closed, the trust-based part of the system collapsed.

Trust and security considerations are far more important than speculations about aggregate human behavior. Psychologists have a hard time making their experiments on individuals repeatable. Macroeconomists speculate about vast numbers of interacting individuals, no repeatability.
High inflation causes savers and creditors large tangible harms, as we see today in Venezuela, Iran, Sudan, Nigeria, Argentina, &c. But alleged harms caused by much lower levels of "bad deflation" are very causally remote from monetary decisions -- it's ideological speculation.
While macroeconomic debates are very popular in the fiat central banking world, where monetary decisions are highly political, they are nevertheless ideological speculations not science.
For these reasons, I strongly urge those developing or maintaining cryptocurrencies to focus on trust minimization and security. Protect holders against internally caused loss of value, but treat macroeconomic considerations with many grains of salt and very low priority.
Decoupling of gold and currency led to corrupt, untrustworthy governance.
Correct. Bank notes were the economic layer based for Gold and Silver. This is why notes said "to the bearer". Credit papers that were fully reedemable for gold.
Bitcoin solves a big problem with gold, it allows native scalability on-chain and off-chain. We no longer need 3rd parties to that.
