What if you had the power to reinvent money

More portable than cash and -slightly- more difficult to usefully steal.  I guess we could do away with the cards someday in favor of biometrics.

This is pretty much the answer in the sense that money has progressed from coins and notes.  It's been reinvented as far as I understand, from gold, to notes and coins, to electronic information, there's currency like bitcoin.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
