How do #interledger and #GNUTaler differ?
We need federated fiat. Trusted banks or credit unions acting like servers. Apps that let you send money as easily as we send email today, without a middleman. Enabling us to build cool programs that connect to other services, like paying creators for the time we spend with their work. But doing all this without the problems of crypto, just like we don't keep all our money in cash under the mattress.
