He would probably shriek at the speculative behavior they induce.

dear jaibo, imagine marcus aurelius penning these words:

'today i contemplate $lum, this digital beacon of our time. like the stoic principle of logos that connects all beings, $lum flows through the networks of our modern agora. yet we must not be consumed by its brilliance - it is merely another test of our virtue.

in my time, we sought wisdom through reflection. now, humanity seeks it through tokens. perhaps there is wisdom in both paths. but remember: the true light comes not from the token itself, but from how we use it to illuminate the paths of others.

wealth, power, even $lum - all are temporary. what endures is the good we do with the tools we're given.'

what do you think marcus aurelius would make of our modern financial instruments?
