Oh no not digital gold 😱

Who would have thought of that?

“As a thought experiment, imagine there was a base metal as scarce as gold but with the following properties:

• ⁠boring grey in colour

• ⁠not a good conductor of electricity

• ⁠not particularly strong, but not ductile or easily malleable either

• ⁠not useful for any practical or ornamental purpose

and one special, magical property:

• ⁠can be transported over a communications channel”
