Among the supporting arguments are:
- all financial innovations of the last ten centuries have been spontaneous
- the present worldwide financial and monetary system is loosing its
reliability
- nothing will ever prevent two agents from agreeing on an exchange one leg
of which is a promise of one sort or another
- nothing will prevent new entities from organizing and managing these
promises
- the internet and telecommunication revolution of the last thirty years
makes the emergence of such a private system possible
- no present day organized power will be durably able to thwart it
- when present day governments of the US or of European countries have lost
all credibility, new organizations will be more trustworthy
- the process is well under way
Private entities are appearing which begin to gather more power than many states, and which are apparently well intentioned : Gates foundation, Google, etc.
Google's motto, for instance, is "don't be evil", and the firm is in the course of gaining sufficient power to issue a new private currency more reliable than many official ones.
Yet history teaches that most world tragedies had at their origin a mix of "good intentions" + "unlimited power to put them into applications" (church, colonialism, communism, etc.)...
