> Our broken institutions are fighting to protect their kingdom

Three years ago I bought an apartment.

I got a loan from a bank over internet and phone. The contract was three pages of clear Swedish that even I, with my rudimentary knowledge of i, could understand. The contract signing was intermediated by a person whose job is to make sure everything goes smoothly.

In the end, all of the following was guaranteed:

- I had the money

- money was transfered into the other person's account

- I was not a scammer

- that person wasn't a scammer

- I received actual physical keys to an actual physical apartment (and not to an non-existent address)

(a bunch of other stuff)

So, tell me. What exactly does your crypto improve?
