With that $200 they could make a really kick-ass movie about war mutts instead of actually trying to make them a reality. I mean, the movie would probably suck, but it’s still a better use of the money.

I mean, what's happening is that a handful of investment capital providers get to pick who gets rich and powerful, and it's guys like luckey and musk, who they think are cool. Peter Theil didn't know anything about banking or tech when he founded paypal, but he had written a fascist manifesto...

So, some billionaire decided to throw money at his libertarian anti-bank concept, which just turned into a regular bank once the idea made contact with reality, but it made him, musk, and some other assholes piles of money.

I thought it in fact still didn't have to follow bank rules like a regular bank. It's like uber drivers who don't have to follow taxi licensing, it's wn escrow service who doesn't have to follow all the escrow rules.
