-money exists because the government says so businesses exist because the government registers them and allows them to operate and the laws and so forth of the of the government allow commerce to occur 
-
-but we have no way of doing that in the digital economy right now there's no business models in the digital economy other than basically buying stuff and getting your data exploited for advertising. so if you have a Visa card you're in. 
-
-otherwise there's no other really interesting transactions going on and I think big part of that is because we don't have any way of extending the trust of government into the digital realm in a way that is trustworthy
