<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The word fungible comes from the Latin fungibilis. The Latin verb fungi means ‘to perform’. Something that is fungible is mutually interchangeable with any other ‘thing’ of its kind—one thing can ‘perform’
in place of the other. Digital culture has so far thrived on fungibility: cryptocurrencies, image files, video files, audio files, and beyond can be replicated and shared ad nauseam and each iteration holds the same exchange value.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
