Printing fiat currency? Ho hum.

Not all individuals consider it as important as personal printing of your own meals.

Wanna print the Trinity, on-demand?
Burgher, fries & holy coke?

Star Trek anyone? Fiat Federation Credits, on-demand? Enough guaranteed liquidity that no ones is interested in anything except their own curiousity?

As always, don't sell the bike shop, Orville.
