[^1]: Import note, 2024-03-27: I'm 99% certain this track was removed from SoundCloud because it was "only" a (very awesomely) automatically re-time-signatured swingified version of _Every Breath You Take_. If I remember correctly it was made as part of a hackday by the Echonest team (before that was bought by Spotify).

You may see where I’m going with this: trade is no longer bound by geography. When I use the internet to buy a Chinese-made light bulb, it still has to be shipped to me; if I want to buy a computer game on a physical disc, there needs to be a store for me to walk into; but if an engineer sells her software through the internet she could be on the moon and the only difference to her being in the next door room would be the 1.3 second delay in delivery time imposed by the speed of light. Clearly if you don’t need to rely on a physical store or distribution network your business is simpler and cheaper to run, I believe the same is true for non-physical currencies.

So what currency does our hypothetical lunar coder—let’s call her Ada—charge her customers in? She weighs up the benefits each currency provides in terms of spending power (money is useless to her unless she can spend it), stability (so that a week’s work isn’t worth only a loaf of bread by Saturday), and the features that currency offers (like fungibility, being [backed by gold](http://web.archive.org/web/20171123012558/http://www.bankofengland.co.uk:80/banknotes/Pages/about/faqs.aspx) or being [accepted in more countries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_use_of_the_U.S._dollar) than any other).

Today the cost of a single low-volume digital transaction in GBP might be [20p + 1.4%](https://stripe.com/gb/pricing) but with Ethereum, being decentralised, you _specify_ how much you’re willing to pay for others to verify your transaction. This makes the amount so small it’s measured in _[Wei](http://ethdocs.org/en/latest/ether.html#denominations)_ (the micro-micro-pence to Ether’s pound) and, as I write, the [average amount spent per transaction](https://etherscan.io/chart/gasprice) (the _average GasPrice_) is 22 billion Wei which is easiest to conceptualise as ~4,300 verifications costing just a penny.

|

|

Just like a banknote is a certificate of your ownership of a sum of money, and a deed that of a plot of land, a single Ether coin is the certificate that you bear, or own, the value for some amount of work performed for the benefit of the Ethereum network (the coin was ‘mined’ and passed on to you for goods or services). Now the currency’s nomenclature becomes clearer: _Ethereum_ is a platform for bearer certificates; the _Ether_ currency is the core certificate of that platform (and the one in which the machines that maintain the infrastructure of that network are paid) but it is only one of an unlimited number of certificates which can be created and used by anyone.

China operates a scarily large proportion of the world’s [Bitcoin mining operations](http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160504-we-looked-inside-a-secret-chinese-bitcoin-mine) which is risky as a single entity with a [51% share of mining power](http://www.coindesk.com/51-attacks-real-threat-bitcoin/) can, in theory, selectively allow double spending.

I've long admired and played with [postcards](/tags/postcards). For me there's an art to every aspect of creating and sending them — designing, choosing, writing, drawing, doodling, stamping — each of which could stand books' worth of elaboration.
|
||||
|
||||
Art is, in my humble opinion, at its greatest when limitlessly exploring a limited space, and a postcards provide plenty of just this kind of freeing limitation. They can be heartfelt and genuine precisely _because_ they don't immediately invite a reply (unlike practically all other interpersonal communication), they invite novelty (like Mr. Bingo's hilarious [Hate Mail](https://mr.bingo/hate-mail-book/), or Lupi & Posavec's beautiful [Dear Data](http://www.dear-data.com/theproject)) _because_ they are so simple and (literally!) inflexible.
