Augmented Reality will make money obsolete

Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Well I can tell you what won't happen

Technology as mediator

Money. A single number scoring everything. A "cultural encoding of value" - Heather Vescent. A system under attack...

Problems with money

"A mountain of value hiding behind a molehill of dollars" - Arthur Brock Old pre-digital technology; no history, anonymous, allows large concentrations, can be used to hurt us. Money is not smart - has many limits - and does not reflect our will.

Future of Money Conference

At least 50 new kinds of digital currency; not just bitcoin, slow money, timebank or the usual suspects but new kinds of services and brokerages. Each with different rules, limits, cultural encodings. Anonymity, accountability, history. All bubbling beneath the surface looking for some way to be visible.

Numismatics of money versus AR

Brokering? How good is it at introductions?Signaling? How loudly can it reach you?Valuations? What does it value or care about?Deep Value? Does it protect our planet?Accuracy? Does it map to the real world well?Scarcity? Is it easy to transact with this?Real time? Does it reflect the present moment?Place specific? Is it removable from the place?Trust? Do you trust it?

To know your place. To have your place know you. A way to see the payment ecosystems and circumvent the use of only dollars.

Thanks!
