Year: 2022

Fascinating that almost nobody in the IT industry is taking the opportunity to set up Twitter Spaces for hot topics like #AI or #Automation or #Cybersecurity. All I see is an endless flow of NFT spaces where there are a lot of opinions from people that hope to get rich quickly.

@jeffsussna @sallamar Chapter 8: credit system (virtual money) and coinage (physical money) alternated multiple times throughout history, sometimes 1,000 years apart. Silver- and gold-based money was popular during war times. https://t.co/0HX3tOKrqk
