What you're saying now, is that the problem is not about derivatives, but about interbank payments. Interbank payments can be solved using catalyst mechanisms.

I assume that your post is basically a confirmation, that not all derivatives, that blow up, have significant collateral damage.

Your post also indicates, that this is not a bubble but a trust problem. I don't understand how this fits with your previous claims that we're witnessing a bubble.

I think that we're witnessing a bubble, but I think the bubble is mostly about underestimating the consequences of U.S. debt. Nobody has presented data to me about a derivatives bubble, that precisely illustrates a problem. I may have missed a post or two in this thread, but most posts, that I read, copy numbers without being critical about what the numbers really mean.
