Just idle talk here but I think there's a lot in the name. Currency is intuitively simple to model and manage as flow. Look at all the well-used technical models based on fractal self-similarity, from Elliott Waves to simple bear wedges within bear wedges; these ideas must seem pretty daunting for someone looking at applying a more linear and terminal-flow-based model of "hey, things are probably just going to die out". BTW do you ever wonder why so many water-ecosystem words are used for money? Banks, currency, forecasts...clams even...funny but IMO there's a kind of natural fit there.
