banking was created to solve payments. loans and interest, as the job of money custodians, evolved as a side effect. then the political process co-opted banking via central banking to funds large scale mobilizations (and wars)
now that there are crypto tokens, the problem of payments and money custody is just a cyber security issue, not financial
and the government (the executive branch, via the treasury) can directly monetize its debt via crypto ledger money that is functionally the same as bank ledger money
the executive branch doesn’t need central banking as a governmental branch anymore. loans is a problem for securities regulators
