What currency? What application of the Word?

 What application of the Word, what 'currency'?


Several trends come together.

First, Norman Spinrad's 'Transformation Crisis'
Second, Gurri's 'Revolt of the Public'
Third, Rosenstock's 'Technological change destroys old groups, while increasing spatial reach and decreasing the time it takes'
Fourth, Rosenstock's 'Small, enthusiastic groups are the next social order' after nation state, etc.
Fifth, Money 2.0--consider shekel of the Temple.
Sixth, Money is issued (a medium of exchange, a form of language) for purposes. Metals vs. digits.
Seventh, two new type of proposed encrypted currencies 2.0--one to get the truth out about the powerful, another to solve the climate crisis by making payment for downtake of C02 backbone of a global currency (Spinrad's review of Robinson's 'Ministry of the Future' in 'Asimov's').

--
But Eighth, we are in the Word, the Christian World--what language, what encrypted currency should we make--the future is what we make it, Norman Spinrad--NOW? We have examples, metals, digits, transparency, CO2 uptake.
