I’m reading up on the famous stone money from Yap (Cora Lee Gillilland, The stone money of Yap. A numismatic survey. Washington, 1975). About this:
1) This was a kind of blockchain money avant-la-lettre
2) And not your typical western kind of individual owned money. Because of its blockchain character it could serve as ‘ritual’, ‘gidigen’ gift-money (compare our wedding rings) as well as ‘normal’ money. Fascinating. From the link…Real-World Economics Review Blog
