The Credit Commons is a crowdfunding and crowdsourcing campaign with one audacious and visionary goal: to rethink the system. Our current system was created over 100 years and needs to be modernized. It’s an an unstable and unsustainable system that came within hours of a complete meltdown in October 2008. Today we stand on the threshold of a new frontier in money systems. With the advance of digital technology, social networks and mobile payment solutions, new models of creating shared prosperity are emerging. Can we connect the dots between these trends and design a parallel, complementary system to allocate capital more efficiently and equitably? Instead of waiting for Washington to act, can we use our own capital and ingenuity to create the code of a more democratized "money as software" platform? Can we imagine “Social Banks” inspiring public trust with new motivations, new sharing mechanisms, new levels of stability coded right into the DNA of this new system?

We will establish an ICT community school to train them so that they can teach others. Women and girls will also benefit from the project fully.

An interesting situation has developed with the proposed Star Trek ‘fan film’ Axanar which may highlight how we find ourselves in a transition period between two eras: the old era which relies on ‘Intellectual Property’ (IP), heavyweight corporate power and lawyers; against a new agile era based on crowdfunding and free access to information. hollywoodreporter.com …

The Envienta project has recently come to my attention – it is a ‘connect the dots’ type initiative which aims to collect various forms of open source technology to make up an entire lifestyle based on low-cost modular solutions and open knowledge. They are clearly inspired by Jeremy Rifkin’s ‘Zero Marginal Cost Society‘ hypothesis, and …

The way we communicate and exchange information in 2015 is staggeringly different to how it was just over a decade ago. For those that don’t remember those were the days before YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter began their invasion of almost every part of our daily lives.

I've given up on fixing the economy. The economy is not broken. It's simply unjust. There's a difference. We have to stop looking at our economy as a broken system, but one that is working absolutely true to its original design. It's time to be progressive -- and this means initiating systemic changes.
