Another thanks for the bitcoin intro Archy, I read a short spec and it
sounded quite interesting!
My fiancee's dad mentioned recently that the porn industry won the
battle in VHS vs Beta tape back in the day, though a gen-exer here I
didn't get hip to net porn until highschool (1998ish). Socioeconomics
played a part in that, now I hear they plan on shutting down libraries
in my hometown..

There a new global currency -Bitcoin. You can google it. The idea

Potentially we could all useBitcoinand have as little to do with
official currencies as possible. In this sense, the connection of
politics s with currency comes into relief without metaphor. The
basic analogy works for me - politicians are in play for the currency
of votes and these are broadly bought. My own contention is that we
have no politics at all, just animal posturing. We would need to be
rational for politics and clearly are not.

Any thoughts?
You could say they are composed of multiple competing currencies, seeing
it all as the interplay of exchange.
