The first thing I will focus on is money. Money is a social technology, but its current technological sophistication is still in the dark ages, despite the fact that computers rather than abacuses now count it. I’m going to propose a radically decentralized, information-based form of money that owes nothing to the state. Stay tuned.

Is this the part where he demands $20K to tell us the answer and then runs away as fast as possible?

Wow, that Dembski.  Such an original thinker.

Money is a social contract. Technologies (like abaci and computers) count it.

Hoo boy, settle in, everybody, while the malapropisms are also counted...
