RE:
frequent flier miles. is another form of world currency. . problem is taxes, there is no system to tax trading in miles. so the gov't will eventually go crazy.. // The best work of the foundation would be to create money/value to be used to eliminate discomfort. disease, poverty. , there is no reason that a new form of distribution , can't be created. There is no shortage of food medicine , or information, at the moment the only thing available to the poor is info.
ffm only as a quasi currency.. barter is the biggest , Ebay makes no sense it need no computing power only , listings.--- if you want a boy and i want a girl, , we should simply exhange one for the other, however one of us is going to have vaue left over.. ( obviously debatable, which one ). however it is rare to find a perfect barter partner, what we should do is have a computer say , boris you deliver the girl, jeffrey the boy, sam a car, melanie a watch, and make the switch .At the essence money is only to account for the difference of value in what we have to trade. when should we speak?
Agree.
In matter of fact, the use of barter still exists. Some sites such as Craig list are using it. It is not predominant mean of trading on these sites but exisits. Making a global (and focused) Barter site could be big.
It would be cheaper (cuts conversion/transaction costs) and perhaps preceived as more fair (as you said money is like vagina - you would still get it, but without seeing it).
Money should be still used to cover final transaction cost to the site (although even barter could be used there).
Can you talk any time between 1pm and 2:30pm PST - 4-6:30EST your time? B
