 Money is most definitely a social consensus. It is the very lubricant of a society. It’s what we use so we don’t bash and steal and simply let the strongest dominate.

Go try buy an airplane with bananas and you’ll find there are ZERO takers in the world. You won’t be able to form consensus with a single person to participate in your transaction.

You’ll find exactly the same when you release your Kaspa client and absolutely no-one wants your shitcoin and the social consensus of what money is on Nostr remains Bitcoin.
