Building a global, moneyless trading system

It’s also a way of building community – and community is what we’re going to need to get through climate change.

With Matthew Slater author of Credit Commons white paper and the Money & Society MOOC

Highlights:

  • What I do believe is that it’s too late to avert catastrophic climate change, and so we’re headed towards 2, 3, 4 degrees of warming and destruction of most global ecosystems, on which we depend for our food and for everything else. So I think that regardless of that you, I or anyone is able to do in the next 5-10 years, we’re going to see a large-scale destruction of our way of life.
  • Crypto is much closer to fiat. It’s about building a world without trust.
  • (LibraCoin) is Facebook’s attempt to take over the world by creating another Silicon Valley monopoly.
  • So I’m interested in the Credit Commons, and building local groups, because it seems like a useful thing to do, and it’s also a way of building community – and community is what we’re going to need to get through climate change.
