@NickSzabo4@iang_fc@GreekAnalyst@Chris_Skinner I guess Greeks do not trust each other’s IOUs http://www.chyp.com/payments-without-banks/ … -
@dgwbirch@nickszabo4@greekanalyst@chris_skinner Typically community currencies pop up like mushrooms. But they do require local trust. -
@iang_fc@dgwbirch@GreekAnalyst@Chris_Skinner "Community currencies" is a misnomer: it's typically large trusted bizs acting like banks. -
@nickszabo4@dgwbirch@greekanalyst@chris_skinner Sure - the overall trap here is that all terms are defined and degenerated by the banks. -
@iang_fc@dgwbirch@GreekAnalyst@Chris_Skinner There's also the sticky question of what is "owed" in an IOU -
@nickszabo4@dgwbirch@greekanalyst@chris_skinner Right. What's liquid? cf http://www.chyp.com/payments-without-banks/ … was bank cheques and pub pints for Irish. -
@iang_fc@dgwbirch@GreekAnalyst@Chris_Skinner + required faith that banks would eventually honor checks with non-depreciated currency.
