My heretical take of the day: 1/ Classical double-entry ledgers don’t store sufficient information to permit tracing specific assets to specific liabilities except in the simplest of cases. 2/ Being able to do so actually matters, especially in fintech, and to non-bank actors involved in programmatic flow-of-funds orchestration. Jotted down some notes here for the curious: formance.com/blog/engineerin…

There Is a wave of open source ledger / financial database that’s happening, bundling integrations, a DSL that describes transactions, and a ledger that can execute transactions correctly. @amanda_robs and I sat down with @superzamp about @formancehq, which you should listen to!

Week-end software archaeology read from an age when database was, interestingly enough, actually still spelled « 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦 »

Thinking this through, it’s the type of government-caused crisis that could lead to a CBDC. Because I don’t know how businesses could practically operate with only a $250k max in each account. They’d have to keep buying and selling T-bills. Instead they’d want to somehow send $1 worth of T-bills back and forth without doing constant buys and sells. They’d want fully digital dollars where their counterparty isn’t a bank, but the central bank… And that becomes a central bank digital currency (CBDC).

Congrats @superzamp, @Anne_Sybille and the @numaryhq team! Formance (YC S21) is building an open-source financial ledger for marketplaces and fintech companies, making it easier for them to build, operate and track complex payment flows: eu-startups.com/2022/06/fren…

I don't think people understand. We did everything we were supposed to with the iOS app. Try downloading it (while you can?). You can't sign up, because Apple says no. We don't mention subscriptions. You can't upgrade. You can't access billing. We did all of it! Wasn't enough.
