從古代到區塊鏈:重新思考貨幣的本質




從泥板到加密貨幣:在區塊鏈時代重新思考貨幣

人類學家比爾·毛爾(Bill Maurer)參加了《清晰加密播客》(Clear Crypto Podcast),探討區塊鏈如何重新喚起古老的貨幣觀念,不再僅僅視其為代幣,而是作為記錄保存和社會信任的系統。

回到起點

“我通常會從歷史開始,談論像古美索不達米亞這樣的案例研究,”毛爾說。

他解釋道,在談論區塊鏈或加密貨幣之前,他會指出社會的出現,因此最終出現了一個貨幣系統。然而,最初並不是代幣、硬幣或鈔票;甚至不是“手與手之間傳遞”的東西。

他進一步解釋:

> “他們擁有的是一個精密的記錄系統。”

對於毛爾來說,這是理解古代經濟和當今數字貨幣的關鍵:“貨幣本質上是一種紀錄信用和債務的方式,這就是它一直以來的本質。”

比特幣的角色

雖然比特幣通常被視為一種新的數字現金,甚至被稱讚為新的“數字黃金”,但毛爾對這種觀點提出了挑戰:

> “儘管比特幣系統認識到貨幣是一種記錄操作,但它仍然陷入了將其視為某種硬幣的觀念中。”

毛爾認為這是一個錯失的機會。“它可以成為一整套圍繞數據和價值的關係,而不必將其抽象化為貨幣,”他說。“你可以將其稱為對一個不斷展開的帳本的一部分的權利。”

這次對話還探討了區塊鏈揭示了人類如何組織信任。“我們是關係的生物,而不是個體的生物,”毛爾說。“區塊鏈所承諾的是創造這種框架的方式,同時以去中心化的方式實現。”

在當今的數字經濟中,對於貨幣的重新定義是非常重要的。毛爾的觀點挑戰了傳統對貨幣的理解,這不僅有助於我們更好地理解區塊鏈技術的潛力,還能促使我們思考未來的金融系統如何能夠更好地服務於社會。隨著數字貨幣的興起,我們或許能夠看到一種更靈活、更具包容性的貨幣形式,這不僅僅是交易的工具,更是社會信任的基石。這種轉變不僅是技術上的創新,更是對人類社會結構的一次深刻反思。

Model and Styling
• Model: A female model with elegant features and dark, curly hair, posed looking over her shoulder towards the camera. Her expression is confident and alluring.
• Outfit: She is wearing a two-piece outfit (or a playsuit/romper) entirely covered in black and white polka dots.
• Top: A loose, long-sleeved shirt, worn off one shoulder, showcasing the neckline. The polka dots on the shirt appear slightly smaller and more uniform.
• Bottom: Matching shorts or a skirt with a tight, fitted silhouette, emphasizing her figure. The polka dots here appear slightly denser.
• Hat: A defining accessory—a dramatically oversized sun hat with a wide, floppy brim. The crown is white, and the large, voluminous brim is patterned with large black and white polka dots, cascading down. A black fabric tie/ribbon is visible around the crown.
• Accessories: Large, circular or crescent-shaped gold earrings dangle from her ears.
Lighting and Setting
• Lighting: Natural, bright, direct sunlight creating a warm, sun-kissed, and slightly nostalgic aesthetic. The overall color palette leans towards desaturated pastels and warm creamy whites.
• Setting: She is positioned on a rooftop, terrace, or balcony, with a hazy, mountainous or coastal landscape visible in the blurred background. The background is predominantly soft blues and pale purples, suggesting a distant view over a city or ocean.
• Composition: A vertical, full-body to three-quarter shot. The model is the central focus, framed against the soft background.
