Crytocurrencies copy metal concepts

Postby coppernickel » Sun Dec 09, 2018 6:48 pm

Having access to enhanced resources I have run a few searches through the educational database. Here is an article you might enjoy. This article discusses blockchain and Bitcoin as valid wealth storage and trade tokens. Most of the reasoning sounds extremely similar to concepts used for gold, silver, or copper commodity money.

Abstract: Allon, F. (2018). Money after blockchain: Gold, decentralised politics and the new libertarianism. Australian Feminist Studies, 33(96), 223-243. doi:10.1080/08164649.2018.1517245

This article uses many concepts familiar to metal promoters, most of which are identical, as the reason why cryptocurrency is a great equalizer ensuring free trade and wealth storage without any regard for class, race, ethnicity, gender, gender affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, credentials, and skin tone. The defining of the protected groups is much more important to the article than the reason why blockchain offers freedom and anonymity.
This article offers a cornucopia of similes and metaphors, more than ½ of the article is taken up with similes and metaphors. Some of the more prominent archetypes are Auric Goldfinger (Uber-Capitalist), James Bond (ultimate-male), Pussy Galore (ultimate-feminist), King Midas, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ronald Regan, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Maynard Keynes, America, China, Heterosexuality, Homosexuality, Capitalism, and Communism.
Silver Monometalism is the most permanent and stable form of money the world has seen. Natural law and history prove silver value is best multiplied by gold and best divided by copper. It is only in this counterfeit currency time when the natural law appears suspended.
