    That said, to analyze well the relative prospects of cryptocurrencies, it helps greatly to have a strong grounding in deep monetary history, in contrast to modern monetary theories, which are mostly central banking ideologies that are largely irrelevant to cryptocurrencies.https://twitter.com/NickSzabo4/status/977035747713675264 …

    An economist or programmer who hadn't studied much computer science, including cryptography, but guesses about it, cannot design or build a long-term successful cryptocurrency. A computer scientist and programmer who hasn't studied much economics, but applies common sense, can.

        Anything that only goes back to 1867 is likely to be a very shallow monetary history.

        It's still shallow to concentrate on the United States. Most of the history of The USD it was backed by precious metals. It takes a long time for perception to change.

        It might also be helpful to have a few behavioral & microeconomists who can make suggestions on how differently incentivized agents (founders, institutions, exchanges, and individuals) would behave in a new financial ecosystem.

        Meh. If you don't understand economics you end up building tokens like Freicoin and Taler. One man's common sense is another's idiocy.

        Centralized currency systems are political pornography. The larger they are the more pornographic. Stay tuned....
