    What Hacker News says

    1. lukiferSep 2022
      Related: the recently released "Cloudmoney" by Brett Scott [0]. Serves as a lay-accessible and politically-neutral crash course on the modern banking system, as well as a polemic warning of the power intrinsic to centralized transaction surveillance, both from state-backed digital fiat, and the "FinTech" private sector. (The author wears his pro-cash bias on his sleeve, and does a reasonable job defending it.)
