    India made a run at wealth hoarding by issuing a new currency. They declared it was worth something like 5 old currency and you had to personally turn in old money to get new money. You couldn’t just digital it.

    I have no clue how well that did or didn’t work but they haven’t imploded yet. So there’s a lot more play in this money thing than the finance industry would like us to believe.
