It is fine to buy a few things from an untrusted supplier off Amazon. It is a whole other issue to run production based on unreliable or untrusted suppliers. I have yet to ever see a company serious about production that would do this.

Are you in production? Or just think this is a good idea?

Until 2017, I haven't seen anyone that could raise capital from total strangers and start a company. In 2019 I was working at one of the many companies that did just that.

Until last year, I haven't seen anyone so investing in derivatives without a bunch of capital and access to a reliable brokerage. Today, you can do it without even having a bank account on your name.

I am not in production, but the thought of creating business and opportunities that do not require trust between parties seems amazing to me.
