Sorry, I can't resist. Such a good pattern/model/submission:
ladies and gentlemen:
this is why the "bankers" make a LOT of money. they are EXTREMELY good at what they do
Manipulate governments and markets, spread disinformation through the media and rig the currency to their benefit?
Ya, bankers are experts.
Well, our current bitcoin-world has also their "bankers", but they are called "miners".

Whether they manipulate governments and markets, spread disinformation through the media, ... I can't judge (and personally I don't believe it)., but surely they are experts at their basic job:
They can be specified/defined for validation of transcations and get paid for this -- exactly like real-world bankers -- and monopolize this work!
