Title: Efficient vs Resilient Money
Post by: bitacer on February 11, 2016, 09:10:58 pm
One of the best lectures I have ever listened to . Enjoyed it a lot.  Pay attention to WIR

Currency expert Bernard Lietaer states that the fundamental problem with our present-day monetary system is that it is not sufficiently diverse. It dams and bottlenecks our creative energies, and keeps us trapped in a world of scarcity and suffering. But we actually have the capacity to create a very different reality by enabling our energies to move more freely where they are most needed, including towards cleaning up our environment, building adequate housing and providing good quality healthcare, etc.

Prof. Lietaer will show that we need an upgrade of our monetary systems as a systemic solution to our global economic, financial and sustainability crisis. He will show that we need the circulation of different types of currencies for different types of purposes.

This guy is hilarious. He advocates having 100s of different currencies and then goes on to claim Bitcoin will be dead in 2 years. It is even funnier why he thinks so... his answer is cause it is anonymous, anonymous because you account does not have your name and address on it

So we have to  come with some convention for BTS accounts in order to save it from certain death...
