Nobody likes to get screwed, be it in sheep or Dogecoin.īlockchain is most famously associated with Bitcoin and Ethereum, which use the technology to create secure currencies with real-world value backed by the time and energy spent encrypting them.
Cuneiform, like blockchain, was invented out of the desire to create a secure, transparent exchange. Replace the wedge-shaped codes on clay tablets with algorithmically encrypted data on a computer network, and baby, you’ve got a stew going. It was, as scholars have shown, a newfangled transaction recording system that applied innovative cryptography to existing technology. Well, the blockchain of 6,000 years ago - cuneiform.
About 6,000 years ago in a sweltering Sumerian stockyard that stunk like sheep shit, someone invented blockchain.
