"Most people communicate to synchronize their arbitrary value systems, hoping to receive confirmation as to feel socially integrated. Nerds communicate to receive peer reviews of their thoughts, hoping to be proven wrong as a means to fuel their learning."
We should stop talking about "transactions" and start talking about "settlements". Words matter to imagination. When hearing "transaction", people think of paying for a coffee - "settlement" sounds more like something, that banks do, something bigger, more serious.
