Quote:It's because the Human race is a race of Problem Fixers, and Puzzle Solvers.
The only way I see uncounterfeitable money as a possibility when it's handled by computers, but I doubt the existence of unhackable computers.
Still people are welcome to try and provve me wrong.
What happens is that every time some one comes up with a ... well call it a feitablity scheme that cant be countered, some one will see it as a challenging puzzle to be solved. Then some one will have to fix the problem of the previous Feit being Countered, which in turn some one will see as an interesting puzzle....
It's a viscious cycle.
Eventually we'll be a moneyless society because this money stuff was worth far less than it takes to actually have it created.
Then we'll have to rely on the "Barter of Goods and Services", and learn to trust one's word of good faith.
A society of AI's would run on an economy based on Info-Storage capability, and Processor Cycle Speed.
