is it possible that after 55 million years, several alien technological societies could persist without ever inventing decentralized digital gold like bitcoin? Was bitcoin a surprise? (hivelink)
If the societies simply used government controlled fiat...perhaps a powerful AI could create money that could survive 55 million years without a decentralized revolution.
(hivelink)- Or maybe they just backed their currencies with gold. That could survive millions of years with modest inflation due to gold mining. tid:3315 (1) (hivelink)
- i would assume the moment the societies realized cryptocurrency could not be controlled, they would hedge their bets and buy a ton. tid:3313 (1) (hivelink)
