The E-Buck Stops Here? - Cows, cowries, coins, paper, gold: Money has always had a physical presence. But today, it is quickly evolving into numbers that float through the ether. This modern era of money began in 1946 with the first bank-issued charge card. Credit cards followed some 12 years later, still related to dollars. However, technology, with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, is changing the world’s definition of “money.”

: I agree with the first one: the text opposes two concepts ("physical money" x "abstract money"). "Flutua pelo espaço" would also fit in this context.

: O uso de ether foi intencional, ether é também uma das criptomoedas mais importantes da atualidade! Não dá pra ignorar isso na tradução! É um jogo sutil de palavras e conceitos, tem que captar isso tudo.
