Destructive monetary policies and excessive seigniorage leads to
rapid devaluation
Global currency wars
Enable competition and manipulation of global trade balances and
purchasing parity
Centralization makes it far too easy to abuse
LIBOR fixing, price rigging, and other harmful or discriminatory
practices

many intermediaries extract rents from the process of facilitating
the transfer of money
