Since nobody else responded to the stock market argument: it's how cash is envisioned to work by Austrian school economists, not the economists currently in charge. The average person needing to trust strangers with their money is not good.

It's an entirely different perspective on how money should work (that was de facto illegal for decades), and only now can we put our money where our mouths are.
