Oh no not digital gold š±
Who would have thought of that?
āAs a thought experiment, imagine there was a base metal as scarce as gold but with the following properties:
ā¢ ā boring grey in colour
ā¢ ā not a good conductor of electricity
ā¢ ā not particularly strong, but not ductile or easily malleable either
ā¢ ā not useful for any practical or ornamental purpose
and one special, magical property:
ā¢ ā can be transported over a communications channelā
