Once upon a time, there was paper…..
Paper could hold words, pictures, memories, research, creativity and MONEY.
Paper was primitive genius.
I could hand over a million dollars to you, and you passed it on to someone, but there was no record of it.
“You know why bitcoin is eulogized” I hear Grandpa speak those words aloud, “It helps tracing down of frauds. Every transaction is recorded.”
But, grandpa …. your notes in the attic helped me a lot. I’ll invent digital currency, which allows anonymity, not pseudonomity.
May your soul rest in peace! Long live the genius of money!

Yeah, money is mostly numbers on a screen now but I see the sentiment and get the message.

I don’t understand bitcoin. I’ve read about it, tried to “get it,” but I just don’t. And I think you’re right–we are fast moving toward digitized money, which, when you think about it, paves the way to a one-world government system, and that’s more than a little scary.

Thank you! Money Genius is more about control and power, than money as a means to survival or exchange your talent with another.

I like your methodical discussion here, Reena. I fear the day when all money is electronic. A society ruled by money has cheapened the value of the priceless.

We are fast moving towards electronic money. The process started when gold standards for printing currency disappeared. Now, wealth can be created and destroyed by manipulation.

I love the line about paper. Truly remarkable to think that a slip of paper is worth so much – and only because we believe it is.

Is bitcoin eulogized? Paper money certainly has its benefits – the bank robbery stories of the future are not going to as exciting as they once were.
