“Inexorably, the long downtrend of the news industry started. They gutted their foreign desks, they gutted their investigative journalism, they gutted their fact checking, they gutted their copyeditor desks.

“Children born today will never have a bank account. They will have a bank _app_—not a bank app that gives them access to their bank account, but a bank app that makes them a banker, an international banker in an app. ​They will not be permitted to open a traditional bank account until they are 16 years old; by that time, I hope they will have at least six or more years of experience with digital currencies. I would like to watch them walk into a bank branch to have someone explain to them what “three to five business days" means.”
