Programmable or 'purpose-bound' money is coming

A couple of years ago I built The Gratitude Coin - it was a token that was programmed so that every time you bought or sold it, you could write what you are grateful for and it would get stored in the blockchain.

Then those messages could go on X as well if you wanted it.

It was built on top of the sacred coin protocol which I had built - basically, coins that were built with a purpose in mind.

Reading what I wrote in this last website really made me laugh. This was a trip down memory lane.

I really wanna pick up my project back up when I get some time

Isn't this just vouchers or coupons with extra steps? Locking money to a purpose has been done at casinos for a long time; "but now with tech"

> INTERVIEW As the tide of enthusiasm for cryptocurrency ebbs, new forms of digital currency are emerging, including something called purpose bound money (PBM) – digibucks that can only be spent in certain ways coded into them by their issuers, or would only change hands under certain conditions.

> The core idea of PBM is that its issuer can stipulate what the digicash is used for, who it can be transferred to, daily spending limits, and even give it a use-by date. The number of constraints imposed on the instruments can be many or none.

That's called coupons. Save your time and skip this article.

sometimes things that can be done with technology shouldn’t be done

Thanks, you can keep your “money”.

We have choices now.
