Quote:
(Kitco News) -In a massive security breach on Wednesday, hackers got their hands on 153,000 units of cryptocurrency ethereum, worth around $32.6 million. This was the biggest theft of the cryptocurrency so far and comes just a couple day after $7 million worth ethereum was stolen.

«Differences between Big-Endians, who broke eggs at the larger end, and Little-Endians gave rise to six rebellions: one Emperor lost his life, another his crown. The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. Big-Endians gained favor in Blefuscu.» J.

Yes, but cryptocurrency is the distilled vapor of swamp vapor. ;) Marc

The "money" of the Yap islanders, "rai," was gigantic stones which could weigh over 8k pounds: too heavy to be moved, records of ownership were maintained in oral histories.
Quote from Wikipedia:
The extrinsic (perceived) value of a specific stone is based not only on its size and craftsmanship, but also on its history. If many people—or no one at all—died when the specific stone was transported, or a famous sailor brought it in, the value of the rai stone increases by reason of its anecdotal heft.
For centuries in S.E. Asia, cowrie shells were "money." "Money" is what people believe has value, what people act as if has value: i.e., it's a cultural construct often loosely coupled to goods (objects, people, land, animals, etc.), and services. Of course rare goods are often a basis for money, as with: gold, jewels, virgins, etc. imho ... :)

Too heady a stuff for me, for sure. Living long-term in Asia, I've come to put my faith in physical gold, and edible food :) cheers, Bill
