The currency would be worthless.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a tricky problem, especially with online currencies that have no central authority, such as a bank or a government, to keep track of how much money each person has, how they’re spending it, and whom they’re paying.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bitcoin network was the first to solve this problem with proof-of-work.
