History of GivingMarket/BigChange|
Over time, /SmallChange? could add up to /BigChange?. The developments imagined below would almost certainly require some sort of central processing of Giving transactions, some facility for matching personal gifts with monies held in trust accounts, and the assumption that giving is more about transaction than about relationship. More than likely, there can be no central processor big enough, no matching system trusted enough, and no transaction at all without relationship. Seems the best way to be sure that your fortune keeps on giving in perpetuity is to teach your kids the value of giving and then leave them all your money when you die! The following evolutionary developments may well happen, and be very difficult to centralize, observe and document directly. |

The following evolutionary developments may well happen -- but almost certainly in an unrecognizably distributed form that would be difficult to observe and document directly. |

What could a new money supply, one that perfectly matches and includes both the limits and resiliency of human existence, do in the next many decades? As the last 70 years in which our ability to finance things became totally disconnected from gold, earth and human limits, it is not unreasonable to wonder if regrounding the money supply in the new gold of individuals who give and work for a better, healthier, more sustainable and humane world isn't the ultimate and only thing that could heal the damage already done. |

As noted above, these changes may well happen -- but be almost impossible to distinguish and measure. It just won't be as simple as centralization. |
