Congratulations @cryptoengineer , you have won 2500 XSTUSD.

In the second place, we have Is Crypto a Missing Link in The Path Toward Star Trek's Moneyless Future? by @nebojsa.todorovic.

“A conclusion for the current times - "Federation Crypto Credit vs. Borg Crypto. Wouldn’t that be something?"Story very well written and helps contrast with with we thought the 2020s and beyond to be like. Interplanetary credit? More like internecine warfare is where we at.Getting my vote but I rue the missed opportunity to look into the logistics of interplanetary credit vs that of SWIFT that we have today.” - HackerNoon Editor
