Yes, that.

You set up a bank, a proper bank, FDIC insured, everything, and then you direct market it as a free speech harbor.

At that point it's MUCH harder for other companies to say they won't work with you. If the customer with the money says to transfer the money, they have to transfer it as a legitimate, authorized transaction.

Refusing at that point means going to federal court and convicting the BFS to say you're not a legitimate bank. That's a much, MUCH higher hurdle, one these leftists won't be able to clear.

Banks have capital requirements that none of us could meet.

You are thinking the numbers are a couple orders of magnitude larger than the numbers really are.

How do you think local credit unions keep poping up and then going under?

If you go under them for a second, you'll be shut down.

Yes, and?

ACH suffers from the same problem as MasterCard.

NACHA IS ONLY AN INDUSTRY GROUP, THE RULE MAKING BODY IS THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY.

I am aware of all of that, yes.

Consider the Keiretsu.

The keiretsu are vertically and horizontally integrated business groups in Japan, each built around their own... private... bank.

As in, it's theirs. They control it.

Suppose the free speech wing of the internet decided to get its ass together and form a keiretsu. With a real bank, that clears real transactions.

I don't think it's impossible. It's just a lot of work from people who are as lazy as Ian Fucking "Free the Code" Crossland.

Bank runs are only possible if you write loans.

It's entirely possible to run a bank that doesn't operate on loan income. It'd just have to charge fees...

Like PayPal does.

The second you could have a positive balance at PayPal, it became a bank. Albeit a crummy one with no depositor's insurance.
