A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Fiat money via WIkipedia:
Doesn't have to come from a government. Crypto is three of these. The article even starts with "Fiat money is a type of currency that is not backed by a commodity, such as gold or silver." Nothing about government there either.
at this point we are just arguing over semantics.
The differences and implications are important, and it's hard to make a convincing argument if your base premise is incorrect.
