I refer to "real money" as what the US Constitution says. Congress was supposed to "coin money," but they gave that job to the Fed, and then started doing a bunch of other stuff that's unconstitutional. Also, gold has always been money for thousands of years. It's physical and fungible. Anyone can understand it. I'm still on the fence about blockchain money. That's another subject I need to research, if I just had more hours in the day.
I will be glad when I can have a computer system at home that has the horsepower, memory, speed, and storage to do what I want. I built my current computer 13 years ago. It was state of the art then, but not today, even though it can do everything else I want it to do. It has just 8GB of memory. I don't remember what the GPU is, but it was supposed to have been top of the line 13 years ago. I actually went to a computer store, got a shopping cart, and asked an employee to walk around the store with me to pick the best of everything, from the case and power supply to the CPU, GPU, hard drives, and Blu-ray writers. I suppose, when this one breaks badly, I'll have to build another and switch to Linux.
I have over 100 TB of storage, with hundreds of thousands of books, magazines, and newspapers, thousands of short videos, a ton of TV shows and movies, and over a million music files. On top of having a local AI search all that and index it, I would also eventually want to access it all remotely with a cellphone and do it securely.
I want a lot, and I'm in my 70s, so I also want it soon.
Whatever you figure out would put me far ahead of where I am now. I took computer classes many years ago, and before that, around 1975, I started my self education, buying my first computer in 1982. I have learned SQL and PHP on my own just enough to program stuff on my own websites. I have learned some about AI and the LLMs, but I have a hundred other projects going at the same time, including writing a book for a rich guy in another state and then continuing writing books for my own account to sell online.
Thanks for the reply.
