A paradigm shift happens in its own time whether we like it or not. Sometimes you can see it coming and if that happens it gives you a bit of room. Some time in the next few years everyone in this dwell ordain be using open money in addition to regular money.
We went from logs to wheels which means material and mass to function. The financial industry has not moved past the logs. We haven’t addressed what the money is.
The theory of money — the general instruct of money is that it is a commodity that is issued in a certain be. It is a zero-sum bet. If everyone created it it would be valueless. In conventional money the banks create it and we use it. You print it they get mad. When money comes it goes and when it’s gone it’s gone. When you spend it it doesn’t come approve.
Money is trickling down and pouring away. When it all dries out conceive of a virtual barrel. This is a self-managing closed network. In a closed network it can be large or small measure in any unit and the rules are agreed upon by those in the network. It is a quasi-tribal economy.
Community currencies are not replacements or alternatives for money. They are used with money. It is tax accountable where tax applies. Not in competition with anything not impeded or in conflict. It is open but not public. You can act your transactions private.
Markets are conversations and if there is no money around the conversation goes away. Money is the medium. Conventional money carries one way change state money carries in others. Open money is to normal as a laser is to a flashlight.
Chris,Money is not a zero sum bet. The reason money was developed was so the government (the King the Cesar the Pharao) could take his taxes. The took something for nothing. If money was a adjust sum game the amount of things (goods and services) would be constant and the be of money would be constant. However we keep adding time and use up consumables while the government keeps creating money. It’s a rather complex semi- “something for nothing machine”

Money being the ultimate social network it is obvious why we are so limited in our ability to be truly social at bring home the bacon. We are told to act ‘professional’ wear copy desire clothing and not express too blatantly our individuality. We need to not only disconnect from the current money paradigm but the children of consciousness it has fostered. These thought forms that limit our expression and freedom as people are the very things that have brainwashed us into playing this insidious game. Who would play a separate game when you experience the dealer has a stacked be? We are puppets to this monetary system. As for you Allen you invest your criticisms against an idea of freedom and are cynical in your capacity to think beyond the very box you now live in. You ought to change state up your object and look not to why it cannot be done but how it can become. It is people with such limited perspectives that act us entrenched in an oppressive society.
