 ====== DIGITAL CURRENCY ====== ====== DIGITAL CURRENCY ======
  
 +===== Topics: =====
 +  * What is '​money'​
 +  * How you can codify something that is currency
 +
 +==== Money as: ====
 +  * Unit of exchange ​
 +  * Store of value
 +
 +==== Kinds / variables: ====
 +  * Token v Account based
 +  * Uses of currency? Things like 
 +    * community currencies
 +    * central bank
 +    * Bank specific currency ​
 +      * (e.g. Scotland)
 +      * Are there other scenarios
 +  * what is legal tender?
 + 
 +==== Currency issuance questions ====
 +  * how does the monetary authority ​ know how much of a given currency is in circulation? ​
 +    * also applies to crypto
 +  * Central Banks
 +    * M1 M2 M3 issues
 +      * Does this relate to Ledger v Token? e.g. one of the Ms is  how much coin and note is in circulation
 +      * See [[MoneySupplyIssues]]
 +
 +How you codify - thinking about examples like cattle as currency, there is a distinction between:
 +  * something you can use in exchange (unitized value, exchangeability) ​ versus
 +  * barter (simple exchange of things)
 +
 +The first of those is something that could be used as money
 +
 +==== Backing ====
 +See e.g. 
 +List of gold-backed currencies: https://​www.goldscape.net/​gold-blog/​gold-backed-cryptocurrency/​
 +
 +
 +===== Discussions =====
 +Page for discussion of some topics: [[Discussions]]
 +
 +Use this for more open ended questions and comments. ​
 +
 +===== Terms and Definitions =====
 +We will be using the VCoI approach to this - see separate page(s):
 +
 +[[Terminology]]
 +
 +Covering these 3 things:
 +  * Terms and Definitions
 +  * Abbreviations and acronyms
 +  * References
 +
 +Start collecting some of the terms we need on those pages. ​
 +
 +Where '​Context'​ in this case is this wiki (the FDTF as a whole) and the subsequent RFI 
 +
 +==== References ====
 +
 +See also the [[References]] page. For now this is an informal place for references as we find them; we will introduce the VCoI process later. ​
