Re: ok (none / 1)
Sorry, HiD, but you are the one stuck in the past.

Credit intermediation is obsolete.

Credit or "time to pay" is needed to create productive assets: and investment is then possible in the productive assets created.

But in a "Peer to Peer" world, credit middlemen are not needed for either purpose.
