A funny mini drama currently at the house: a family friend withdraws money from a Bank of America ATM machine, and much to her dismay discovers that one of the $100 bills which was dispensed was a counterfeit $100 bill. How did she find this out? It is when she tried to deposit the hundred dollar bill at the bank, the bank did not accept it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did my personal due diligence, and closely inspected the $100 bill, seeing if I could spot it being a counterfeit. Superficially, I kind of had a gut feeling that it was a counterfeit. Why? Although the paper felt pretty real, the color of the green ink seemed a bit off. The green color was too bright, too cartoony. Also when I inspected the printed text closer, the text didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem sharp enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is the thought that came to my mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You cannot fake or counterfeit cryptocurrency<\/a>. This would have never happened if it were crypto.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How much money do governments, economies, and individuals lose from counterfeiting? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It seems like a lot. And therefore, if governments and individuals use more cryptocurrency\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcs instead of printed paper money cash, you would squash out counterfeiting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money as trust? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been wondered, what can we do with this counterfeit $100 bill. Superficially, it looks very real. If you gave somebody $500 in cash, and one of the hundred dollar bills was the counterfeit one, most people probably couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t tell. Then I started to wonder, the only reason we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give people counterfeit money when we know it is counterfeit, is because of ethics<\/a> and a sense of trust<\/a>, and mutual respect<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
