The anti defamation league seems to be ticked off by E-dinar. Some people see the full reserve business as antisemitic, as implying that Jews make money by unscrupulous and dishonest means. They see e-gold's business model as antisemitic. It seems to me that in a new, unregulated, and unstable financial environment, full reserve is the way that makes financial sense. On the other hand it is probably true that some of the people who support e-dinar, support it because they see fractional reserve as a Jewish plot to rule the world through the evils of compound interest. It may well turn out that Dubai, rather than New York, becomes the financial center of the internet age, but if that happens, it be because of excessive financial regulation. --digsig James A.
