Here is the actual paper (it&#x27;s linked in the article): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cryptoeconomicsystems.pubpub.org&#x2F;pub&#x2F;murialdo-physical-asset-stablecoin&#x2F;release&#x2F;2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cryptoeconomicsystems.pubpub.org&#x2F;pub&#x2F;murialdo-physic...</a><p>It&#x27;s a little bit hard to figure out if this work is:<p>a) a fascinating but ultimately impractical thought experiment; or<p>b) utter bullshit, a pollution of the signal&#x2F;noise space; or<p>c) actually possible? maybe? (extremely unlikely...)<p>From my understanding, it kind of reminds me of physics papers on warp drives. Impossible, but there&#x27;s still some sort of tantalizing intellectual idea that feels like it could go somewhere.
