Island of Yap Rai stones
Oral history of ownership
Rai stones were, and still are, used in rare important social transactions, such as marriage, inheritance, political deals, sign of an alliance
The stone itself is rarely moved due to its weight and risk of damage. The names of previous owners are passed down to the new one.
In one instance, a large rai being transported by canoe and outrigger was accidentally dropped and sank to the sea floor. Although it was never seen again, everyone agreed that the rai must still be there, so it continued to be transacted as genuine currency.
Oral history, Oral consensus
Proof of work. Proof that you spent energy to generate this token. Attaching a digital hash as a postage stamp.

Crypto Currency is an invention, that is here to stay.
Cryptocurrency: They depend on (our)operation cryptographic primitives
and a common understanding of how the software works
Based on a distributed proof of work principal
Bitcoin is a special type of crypto currency,
its the first crypto currency based on a distributed proof of work principal
that is captured in an immutable distributed database called the blockchain.
The Concept of Distributed proof of work is what makes Bitcoin special
Bitcoin is based on a simple invention.
Simple invention created in 2008 by satoshi anakamoto
in what it does is it allows you to build a fully distributed system
that exibits principals of trust, without a central authority,
without a third party between the transactions.
A bitcoin transaction is a signed data structure that can be executed anywhere in the world.
A transaction does not have to happen on the network.
Bitcoin transaction just has to reach the miners.
It doesn't care if the address of a millionare, a central bank, a phone, a car, anything.
That means that if you want to build an application on it you don't have to ask for permission.
Write the app, launch it, and it will route your traffic.
