- jayd16 5y agoIt's already primarily is driven by digital currency in the form of credit. We're not sending greenbacks through the intertubes. Perhaps cryptocurrency will force some change in international commerce, but I can't help but feel regulations will simply catch up.
- k__ 5y agoThis is obviously true now. But besides being government issued, tokens and the currency you talk about are both "make believe". I mean, people valued stamps, paintings, and tulips rather high too. I don't know how things will go, but at least these tokens seem to get quite some gobal interest lately.
- twalla 5y agoThey're both "make believe" in the sense that they're abstractions to move value around - except if you want a road or a hospital built, you use government currency, if you want to not get thrown in jail, you pay your taxes in government currency, both of those examples seem pretty not-make-believe to me.
