I propose a new digital currency be created according to certain eigenvectors[1] and allometry[2] features of trading network flows or simply the internet traffic flows.
The progress of Complex Network[3] theory may tell us more about how to build a solid algorithm for this kind of "evolving coins" to make them decentralized and evolve along with real economic activities.
I've been investigating the theory in part time and I dare say somebody with sufficient knowledge is able to figure out a model eventually.
IMO, bitcoin is the start of inventing a better currency, not the end.
