Refactoring CryptoJS in Modern ECMAScript

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend and mentor Bernard Lietaer, who died Monday morning at his home in Hoherhagen, Germany with loved ones.

Typically, the creation and use of regional (or local) currencies is initiated by their respective communities — that is, from the bottom up. Central governments, represented by central banks, facilitate (ostensibly) their systems. But they often prohibit the circulation of regional ‘certificates’, bills or other forms of money, arguing that these can devolve control over national monetary systems. At the same time, governments are often unaware of the economic effects of introducing local currencies.

The below post is an attempt to tell the story of the environment in which, I think, we live in, or evolve into.
