Hello friends, in this space and over the next few weeks, I will share something important about Technology and Money. Welcome everyone.
Is Money a Technology?
Yes, it is true, money is a Technology, even though it emerged approximately 600 years BC.
Like all Technology, it must be resistant to technological advances that occur over time to avoid dilution and loss of value.
Another characteristic of Technology is that it is made up of distinct elements that together determine its intrinsic value.
