I love etymology: >>currency (n.) >>1650s, "condition of flowing," a sense now rare or obsolete, from Latin currens, present participle of currere "to run" (from PIE root kers- "to run"). The notion of "state or fact of flowing from person to person" led to the senses "continuity in public knowledge" (1722) and "that which is current as a medium of exchange, money" (1729).* --- If you havent in the past, I recommend looking into etymology on any word you can think of... I like the etymology of currency as KERS <-- FLOW -- as it represents the flow of trans-action (the transfer of action/responsibility from A to B)... --- And this is why I promote that digital currency needed a tracking system of source-origination-to-authorative-OWNER. >>own (v.) >>c. 1200, ounen, ahnen, "to possess, have; rule, be in command of, have authority over;" from Old English geagnian, from root agan "to have, to own" (see owe), and in part from the adjective own (q.v.). It became obsolete after c. 1300, but was revived early 17c., in part as a back-formation of owner (mid-14c.), which continued. From c. 1300 as "to acknowledge, concede, admit as a fact," said especially of things to one's disadvantage. To own up "make full confession" is from 1853. Related: Owned; owning. --- The information age is about UNDERSTANDING. (you stand under the weight of the meaning of the subject) -- etymology is crazy awesome. Understanding Etymology allows for INFERRENCE >>infer (v.) >>in logic, "to 'bring in' as a conclusion of a process of reasoning," 1520s, from Latin inferre "bring into, carry in; deduce, infer, conclude, draw an inference; bring against," from in- "in" (from PIE root en "in") + ferre "to carry, to bear," from PIE root bher- (1) "to carry; to bear children." General sense of "draw a conclusion" is first attested 1520s; intransitive sense is from 1570s. -- Effectively allowing you to understand? Good. Play!
