      Have 'trillions of $ of value' been 'created', or is it just simply a more efficient system of transferring money.

      Value creation involves all phases of deals (not just performance) and many kinds of performance (not just payments).

          Lost me on that one, Nick 🤔 Think it's the term 'creation' I have trouble with. Has that value not just been diverted from elsewhere?

          No. They've improved the productivity of making deals & made possible deals heretofore infeasible. Not a zero-sum game.

          Accept that, but unsure that 'trillions of dollars' have been created that, under the previous system, would have simply not existed.
