The SECOND place goes to @kameir’s The Fed's Disastrous Confusion about Money
“The term “money” is often used as a synonym for currency. However, the determination of the former qualification is observably a distinction left entirely to users of the latter. Which is to say that money is a contract between two or more parties. The arrangement solves a central challenge in trade referred to as the coincidence of wants problem, entailing an agreement over one or more units of account and media of exchange.”
Huge congratulations to @kameir on winning 600 USDT!!
In the THIRD place, we have The Housing Shortage is the Next Target in Blockchains' Sight by @correspondentone
Congratulations @correspondentone, on winning 300 USDT!!
