Nick Szabo's concept of [1]"Schelling money" (named after economist Thomas Schelling) [2] describes a monetary system in which accepted money is obtained not through regulations or contracts, but through natural agreement between people.
Grin fits into the Schelling Money framework such as;
Censorship Resistance: Grin's strong privacy features make it inherently resistant to censorship and control. This is a significant advantage in a world where governments are increasingly trying to regulate and monitor financial transactions.
Fair Launch and Decentralization: Grin's fair launch (no pre-mine, no ICO) aligns with the ethos of decentralized systems. This makes it harder for early adopters or insiders to manipulate the market or control the currency.
Neutrality: Its aim is that no single person or entity controls Grin ツ or has power in it, grass roots community driven.
