I don't really have a dog in either kennel, but something about the idea that a human absolutely must be in the control loop for a currency to work feels... not wrong, but maybe "not wrong so far".

We've managed to get computers to do some really batshit stuff. Drive cars, make art, algorithmically trade to a level of success a human could never dream of, etc. I don't know if a solution to the problem of managing the stability of a currency is around the corner, but I'm fairly sure somewhere in the future it exists.

And then, I can't help but think of how just about every disaster we've had in the financial system was a result of the humans with their hands on the economic knobs being knobs themselves. The solutions we provide when in crisis wouldn't be necessary if we didn't have such a strong tendency to drive ourselves off cliffs - not to mention that our current financial system has gotten so complicated I'm not sure there's anyone out there who truly, thoroughly, groks it without being reductive.
