When I was a kid, I used to watch Batman Beyond, which was set in the future.

The money they used was called “credits” and was digital, with no banknotes/coins. People would swipe cards like credit cards, but also when doing a bearer asset payment, they would hand a card with credits on it to someone who would take possession of it. The same type of card could be loaded with various amounts of credits for various sizes of transactions. Normal people used the money (it was ubiquitous) but also criminals used it, implying the funds couldn’t be frozen or taken back or anything like that, much like cash.

Turns out they were satscards, I guess.

Are you sure it wasn’t Satman instead of Batman?

William Gibson and Bruce Bethke both wrote the first Cyberpunk genre books, so the concept of creds comes from them actually. I love all fiction cyberpunk, including Batman Beyond.

It was always given that something with those properties would come to exist.

Maybe we should call them 'bats'. nostr:nevent1qqsy96fkdkgzf4cu9yj5j76egjt9h05hx6v32npm6vmsj0ukq3f4ljsppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5pzp0d7r0dunvj63kya3ld0p0s6phxcx7avj6glt9uf9yp6tlwcdcnlqvzqqqqqqypzkev3

In the late 90s there was a show Called Earth Final Conflict. It had a character on that show that was your cyberpunk archetype. He took cash cards for payment. When I saw Satscards I rewatched that show. I think Johnny Mnemonic with Keanu Reeves had a similar thing going. https://image.nostr.buil...
