Forget Bitcoin - Digital Currencies Can Only Work With Government Backing
It’s hard to accurately measure how much anything is worth using a medium whose own price fluctuates highly all the time.
In my latest article for the Vulcan Post I explain why decentralized cryptocurrencies are never going to serve as actual “currencies“
