I thought COW was just another 'meme cow'. But it goes much deeper: economy, 'coincidence of desires', without intermediaries. Thank you, now I won't have to wait for it to start mooing.

The COW currency is not related to any famous cow as some may think. The digital currency protocol CoW (COW) is named after the economic concept "Coincidence of Wants (CoW):" This economic concept describes a situation where two or more parties have something that the other party wants, allowing them to trade directly without the need for an intermediary for exchange like traditional currencies.
