    The words you’re looking for are databases and open standard. Blochains solves nothing

      Then show me a decentralized currency which doesnt use blockchain.

        Raw resources? Money as an entire concept is both irredeemably flawed and an extremely recent invention.

        Need food? Get food. Need metal? Get metal. Need a phone? Get a phone. Need healthcare? Get healthcare. If you distribute it so everyone gets a fair share based on their individual needs, there will be no need for money.

          I wouldnt call a few thousand years “extremely recent”. And like I said in my other comment, carrying and storing gold or money is a lot more practical than a truck full of vegetables.

            Have fun renting a whole truck to transport the equivalent of a few grams of gold. Plus gold doesnt go bad.

          Good point, I should have said digital currency. Gold is great, but sadly you cant use it to pay online.

            Money can exist outside a ledger. Bitcoin can’t, it literally is the ledger, and therefore not money.
