Can you think of any digital cultural system where people produce things without promise of compensation to which rules could be added to form a well-structured marketplace, but that doesn't have such a marketplace for its entirety right now, and instead is cluttered by advertising cancer and rot?
Let me show you some of its symbols:
look familiar
what's this say?
ah, the favicon

Now you may be saying, "you fool! The internet is a cultural system, but it already has a currency." And you'd be wrong of course because the internet does not have a currency, it simply uses the currencies of the marketplaces in which its sites are associated. So in a sense it has many currencies. And if that's the case, what's one more?
But as I said much earlier, Planet Nine wants to let the financial system do its thing. So its currency wants to do something the financial system cannot, and while I have a lot of ideas about what this might do, I'm going to tell you what it is, how it works, and let you draw your own conclusions.
