Digital Rome and the Real Value of Cryptocurrency

Too Long; Didn't Read

Max Hasselhoff writes an article explaining the true value of cryptocurrency. Cryptosystems are complex and not easily accessible to everyone, he says. He explains how the Roman Roman temple of Saturn was used as the source of state wealth in the Roman treasury. The value of the coins and transaction in the temple has changed since then, but this can be a useful way of visualizing what cryptocurrency is worth, he writes. To understand why cryptocurrency is useful we have to start at the beginning, with an understanding of what it is and what it does.
