It's forced me to think a lot more about the material worth of our economy, specifically legal tender. I took a $20 Bank Note to the Coin Shop yesterday to trade ~1g of Cotton and Flax for a $1 Unit (~1oz of Silver) which I'll be tithing at Church this morning. The Nuts and Bolts of our economy started to get obscure when I got interested in Cryptocurrencies and I feel like I'm still recovering... From a certain perspective the copper traces in a Bitcoin Miner are worth more than any "coin" it produces and should sooner be melted down and turned into 1 Cent pieces so we can actually pass something that at least resembles Art around instead of just a secure Ledger.
