To me in the context of gnucash what I’m after for a currency is to be able to
track transactions of purchases of goods and services in a ledger using a

Nice write up.
I'll draw attention to John's previous comment: (to paraphrase) "When it
is added to the currently accepted ISO list of 'currencies' then it will
be added to GnuCash *as a currency*."
There are promises and gems to be held in that statement, but breath
should be exhaled!

I'd guess the mailman system either doesn’t support characters in your message…

Allow me to apologize as well, if I misread your message as being harsher than
it was. It’s easy to do that over text and it wouldn’t be my first time. At the
very least - I learned what shotgun argumentation is!
I’ll take a crack at that new wiki section soon.
Thanks everyone,

all:...[it is] a speculation vehicle, not a currency."
but as shares are also "speculation vehicles" a possibility arises.
