This morning, when I looked at my phone, I saw that the price of a certain cryptocurrency had passed $100K for the first time last night. It is now, as I write this, hovering somewhere around $102K per coin. Which may or may not mean much, considering how volatile it is, as an asset. But I bought a little of it early in the pandemic, when its price was lower, is why I mention this. In other words, I’m interested in its future because I’ve invested a small amount of dollars, or fiat currency, in it. Even if I feel ambivalent toward it, as a concept.
