"Financial Cryptography is substantially complex, requiring skills drawn from diverse and incompatible, or at least, unfriendly, disciplines. Caught between Central Banking and Cryptography, or between accountants and programmers, there is a grave danger that efforts to construct Financial Cryptography systems will simplify or omit critical disciplines." - Ian Grigg

Another blast from the past of 1998, written by Ian Grigg, made available at the NakamotoInstitute.org. An awesome attempt at looking forward to the possible layers and roles within a financial cryptography system, providing a fascinating comparison to Bitcoin and the reality of that system today.

Don’t miss tomorrow’s episode where we dig into the comparisons and expand on the many incredible foresights that Ian designed in his own model of our cryptographic future.
