Community Currencies Matrix


COMMUNITY CURRENCIES MATRIX © 2018 by Charles Howard Hartman
Part 1 will be the matrix in which this is located.
Part 2 will be various options, existing now, or in the past, or as they might develop.
Part 3 will be the matrix of community actions.
Part 4 will be ‘what to do’.

PART 1--Matrix
A: Rosenstock said that any new technology increases our (spatial) reach, decrease the time something takes, and destroys old groups.  We are in a period of very rapid technological change.
B: The question is: WWWITMIT.  Where, When (and to) Whom Is The Money In This? I will attempt to show that this is one of the great opportunities in history. Basically, one would gain money from a % of the new currencies, from administrative fees and/or franchises, etc. Hapsburgs built towns and became Emperors. We build communities. The key is finding the Person of Peace, as in ‘Contagious Disciple Making,’ and having him and/or her run the thing locally.
C: This is in the matrix of ‘Contagious Disciple Making,’ with its Persons of Peace, and of Hoppe’s ‘Short History of Mankind’ with his natural elites.

PART 2—Options/Examples
A: There are, and have been, and will be many types of community currencies.  Here’s Kanya, where they are being developed for economic growth and to alleviate poverty: https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/news/bancor-launches-community-currencies-initiative-kenyan-neighborhoods/
In Turkey and Venezuela ‘Money 2.0’ was being attempted to keep wealth in the face of currency woes.  Money 2.0 was mentioned by Altucher in his ‘Cryptocurrencies 101,’ FREE on the web here: https://chooseyourselffinancial.com/cryptocurrencies-101/
Then there’s ‘Hour Money’ (look it up) and John Turmel’s LETS (thousands in 55 nations) : http://www.cyberclass.net/turmel/urlsnat.htm
There are even non-territorial encrypted currencies, such as one supporting arts in New Yourk City, and others for healthcare purposes.
Initial Coin Offerings are one of the 4 main reasons for Abundance of Capital: http://www.diamandis.com/blog/abundance-of-capital
And this is in the matrix of great decreases in poverty, etc. as shown in Diamandis’ ‘Abundance’ book.

PART 3—Within Matrix of Other Community Actions
What I would do in the old home town, and the new home town is to put this in a matrix of initiatives.
Todmorden UK, which wants to be self-sufficient in vegetables. Search
The Roseto Effect, told about in the beginning of Gladwell’s ‘Outliers,’ in which the health of a community was greatly enhanced by gardening, and community celebrations. Search
I’d do STEM Femme (and boys too), enhanced by all the free online courses.
The Community Currency would come in, and another such effort would be The Stuart Wooden Nickel Highway,’ which is an updating of when local communities improved highways to bring in tourists. We’d give away free things (if I ‘won the lottery’ I’d buy ‘em) and make money by other sales (back end, Jay Abraham calls this) knowing that ‘If your outgo exceeds your income, your upkeep will be your downfall). We’d bring ‘em min, send them around, sell them on line, and get them back. In. Around. On. Back. Organized  around our community celebration.  Search
Koppel. Ted is establishment. He worries about grid cybersecurity in ‘Lights Out’. Get copies for community leaders. Buy kilowatt hours ahead, enough to pay for hardening against solar flares/EMP and cyberattacks. On this, also see the pessimistic works of Forstchen.
Now, this is odd, at best, but Judge Judy made $47 million in 2106. Creveld in ‘Rise and Decline of the State’ maintains that its decline is because of lack of secure money for retirees, and failures in justice. Sharia is already at work in areas of the West. Could the ‘shalom’ of the Bible, especially the Torah, help? Use Jordan’s ‘The Law of the Covenant’ and North’s ‘Tools of Dominion’ to start—both are free at www.garynorth.com/freebooks.
Apps for Hartman’s ‘The Symphony of Comprehensive History Interactive, and ‘Conduct History’ aka ‘God Wrote Books: A Jubilee Calendar/Liturgy/Lectionary’ would be good.

PART 4—What to do
A—Think ‘community’
B—Find ‘Person of Peace’
C—Show Cash Flows
D—Start cheap. Todmorden/Roseto. STEM Femme (and boys).
E—Expand from there to Wooden Nickel (if appropriate) and Community Currency (watch Kenya, Latin America). Then Koppel (an ICO too?) and Court. Etc.
