But can we go further and design p2p low-trust replacements for other parts of the financial system?
It would be a mistake trying to mimic current financial system in its entirety. 3/4 of it is just parasitic add-on built on top of fiat currency system. I'm pretty sure that future perception for bitcoin will change from currency to a broader meaning of
transaction vehicle for all financial instruments. The idea for colored satoshis is good one.
