> the currency of System D
For those who, like me, thought of the init system and were very confused confused:
> System D is a slang phrase pirated from French-speaking Africa and the Caribbean. ... They say that inventive, self-starting, entrepreneurial merchants who are doing business on their own, without registering or being regulated by the bureaucracy and, for the most part, without paying taxes, are part of “l’economie de la débrouillardise.” Or, sweetened for street use, “Systeme D.” This essentially translates as the ingenuity economy, the economy of improvisation and self-reliance, the do-it-yourself, or DIY, economy.
Is this a common term in the Bitcoin world?

- NateDad 12y agoI've read a ton about bitcoin and own some and have mined some... and this is the first I've heard of it. Keep in mind, there are a few different types of people interested in bitcoin: 1.) Get Rich Quick types 2.) Techies 3.) Crazy Extremist Libertarians I'll let you be the judge who is who.
- LyndsySimon 12y agoI think it's a fairly common word amongst sociologists and economists. I've heard it in both contexts.
