Good afternoon ZmnSCPxj,
Thank you for your thoughtful reply! I agree with many of your points.
One thing I wanted to say regarding the forces that act on banks:
> It is helpful to remember that banks have, historically, been federations:
> they are typically implemented as corporations, which
deserves attention, and blind mints may
provide nice solutions to these problems.
Another site of interest is fedimint.org, which has some additional information
on blind mints in the context of Bitcoin and Lightning.
Best regards,
Casey Rodarmor
