I was intrigued to read that the equivalent of $144 million was traded in the second quarter of the year on the LindeX, the official currency exchange of Second Life. This growth reflects the increasingly virtual nature of money in an information age society.
I've long taken the view that, progressively, the most significant assets in an enterprise will be hard-to-value, intellectual assets, residing in perception, information flows and relationships. Safeguarding these assets requires a very different mindset and approach to locking up physical assets.
