Title could have been Cryptocurrency Digit!?

Currency in any form is an artificial construct - making it digital is closer to the absurd.

The ultimate absurdity is that I now declare you all gazillionares.

Congratulations, go forth and consume...

 

Just when I thought humans could not get more frivoulous, I stand corrected:

These actions are reminiscent of humans cultivating corn for biofuels rather than food.

Perhaps the new world mantra following "never enough" is "waste more to want more".

 

PS 1. keep that Canadian Tire money!

PS 2.. Cryptocurrency makes an interesting destablizer of analog currency.
