"Money (state currency) can be used to seed networks that don’t depend on money.
Read that again.
We’re not saying burn your money. We’re saying compost it. Seed it.
To those with resources—especially large amounts of money—this is your responsibility. You do not need to give it away and create dependency. You must seed ecosystems where trust, commitment, and mutual aid can grow.
If you hold capital today, your role is not to preserve the past—but to regenerate the future.
This isn’t only a message for the wealthy. Every one of us can begin seeding commons—through time, care, knowledge, skills, and intention."
Just brilliant. Going to use that in Stroud and elsewhere wherever possible.
In the transition from feudalism to capitalism, the resources of a land-based economy were used to seed the new money-based economy. Now we have to use the resources of the money-based economy to seed the new commons economy. It's frustratingly slow, but exponential growth looks very slow - until suddenly it doesn't.
In those networks, I found something remarkable: a living system of trust and value exchange that didn’t require centralized tokens. ... here it is again - this living system that reveals HOW LIFE truly already displays all the ways in which we can work as one and build a harmonious symbiotic relational network... brilliant read thanks Will
Will, that's a good description of out predicament. Centralized control of the peoples' credit enables banks and governments to create fiat money which becomes a necessary commodity that people need just to get by. By decentralizing the control of credit we create our own means of enabling reciprocal exchange of our goods and services. Yes, that means the end of money as we have known it and the rebuilding communities of trust, cooperation, and benevolence.
