Tell me, when is the last time you went to the grocery store and they accepted a bank reserve? Bank reserves are useless.

People downvoting you are clueless. Different assets have different moneyness depending on how they can be used. A credit card limit is more moneylike than bank reserves are.
Saying that "bank reserves are useless" is clueless. This bank needs liquidity and borrowing from the Fed would provide it.
