Call it whatever you want. If you copy and distribute things that look exactly like U.S. currency, would that be rationally justified in your world?

- randallsquared 17y agoYes, but a currency system based on intrinsic value would solve that problem, and have other beneficial effects as well, such as curbing runaway inflation (well, except that that's really the same problem, just official instead of unofficial counterfeiting).
- kiba 17y agoYou are talking about messing up a tool that is used to perform economic calculation. Intentionally introducing calculation chaos into the economic system is a far different issue from who should have the right to copy, modify, and distribute digital goods. It is obvious I would condemn counterfeiting as abusing the monetary system.
