The main downside that’s never discussed: there will be blood. The banking and ruler class that owns and benefits from the current fiat system will not give up that power without wars, camps, or both. They have given themselves authority to print money to pay sympathetic arms manufacturers and direct complicit media to cover. There is additional strong incentive for them to burn it down rather than give in easily: If they lose control and the curtain is pulled back, many will find themselves in court rooms at best.
