What is Digital Liquidity?
Digital Liquidity is the embodiment of the American Dream in the information age. The technical definition of Digital liquidity refers to the ability of digital information to be easily converted or transferred through platform or device, hardware or software without causing a significant movement in the price and with minimum loss of value. Pursuing digital liquidity allows us to translate and apply American values into simple objectives that preserve the freedom and independence of our digital lifestyles. The 5 main values of focus are: speed, simplicity, independence, control and mobility.
Digital Liquidity is the ability of digital information to be easily converted or transferred through platform or device, hardware or software without causing a significant movement in the price and with minimum loss of value.
In investment economics, cash is the most liquid asset, but in the digital realm information is the new currency. The most liquid form of information however, can only be described in tendencies and broad characteristics because there is no independent unit of information that is universally understood by all devices (and humans) that is also free from manipulation, (!binary doesn’t count nerds!). In economics, cash works because you are dealing with a widely recognized currency and process. Digital information is more complicated. It can be cloned, counterfeit, and can be greatly affected by outside sources, commercial entities, social trends, changes in technology and how we perceive our selves with it, cultural phenomenon and a zillion other non-commercial factors can also affect standards of digital information. These changes happen often and an alarming rate so there is no liquid cash equivalent in terms of digital liquidity.
But by pursuing the tendencies, the characteristic descriptors that identify more liquid solutions and representations, we can get closer and closer to achieving it.
