Magdalena Ball #17: To what retracing in response to #4 Dominique Hecq & Béatrice Machet CRYPTO....

To what retracing

(in response to #4 Dominique Hecq & Béatrice Machet CRYPTO....)

cryptocurrency does not pose
risks to global finance

option one, if you aren’t in finance
then bullish, without safeguards
for crypto read pseudo

which is not to say, nonexistent 
the placebo effect is real
money was always metaphoric
                        
scraps of paper, naked digits           
a slush fund, a pool of liquid assets
flowing in and out

for metaphor you could read, not real
          which is not to say lacking in power

for power read language 

that shifty shaper of reality
especially when combined
with money

option two, if you are in finance
don’t bother with metaphor

it’s a dead end, you must transmit

everything is in the exchange
the expression
            the irreversible, permissionless 
                anonymous
                    transaction

there is no consensus 
            hold tight to your bitcoin wallet

                        the ripple, the seed
                                from which nothing will

grow except a mathematical proof
elegant, secure
and tasteless
