Somehow I missed that Nick Szabo is writing essays again. Yesterday, Jan3 (where he is advisor) published a new piece by Szabo on their blog.
I haven't read all his essays from the early 2000s, but this struck me as slightly different. It's still about money and collectibles, but it's also got this conceit of a story about two native american tribes using money.
Not a long read, but I enjoyed it. Hopefully this means Szabo will be writing more pieces in the near future.

...got beaten by 38 minutes... oh well, I'll double up anyway!
First essay in 8 years. I'm very curious what you think of it, so please do!
when you put it like that, lol, it was definitely underwhelming... #1485207
The distinction between money and collectibles as things that stitch together time and space is such a profound way to look at value.
