but it's silly to have a digital 21st century economy based on paper money. transactions don't happen with cash changing hands anymore. transactions are digital blips on a network.

why wouldn't you want digital currency on a digital networK?
Your posts are always good. That being said, people want to see something and it's not a balance on a computer monitor. Don't get me wrong, a balance on a computer monitor looks great, but when you are dealing with actual money you are coddled to know that you can run right down to the bank and stack that shit up and stare at it. It's a warm &fuzzy thing.

In today's day and age, yes, people still want to see what it is that they have. 20 or 30 years from now it may not make a difference. We live now.
