Anyone can buy anyone else’s bond that the seller is willing to sell to. State does a matching buy if a bond sale isn’t discriminatory using a money printer go brrr mechanism. Matched bonds become mutually tradeable via a dollar-denominated bond market. Unmatched ones are alts.

Gift certificate backed economy basically. Instead of centralized regulatory oversight, you get peer-based regulatory oversight within some limits. Like the personal ERC20 ICO economy everyone was excited about in 2017, but linked to fiat economy via stare-backed bond market.

We need imaginative new fiscal mechanisms. This 2007-08 rerun that’s being cued up, with a crappy $1200 airdrop bolted on, is just kicking the tin can down street. Need to let everybody bet on everybody instead of Congress betting on Wall St with table scraps for the rest of us.

Yeah, tell me about it. But when time is cheap but cash is scarce, the dynamics change.

There’s also the problem of high volatility in dollar terms for anything crypto backed

Right, I think my answer to that is either to recommend users initially back with stable coins, or we try to leapfrog the problem by making personal bonds the stable thing to back others with.
