Hi Jake,
This is all super interesting - thank you! You can most definitely say "We"! As you say this isn't the ideal medium and your message has made us think that it would be valuable to set up some online studio type discussions to really open up some of these topics. It would be brilliant to connect that way if you are interested? Totally agree that we cannot just have closed loop local currencies for many reasons. Velocity of money in those situations is one. Another is that with the level of global complexity, resource pressures and supply chain dependence we need to be able to exchange freely and peacefully in numerous critical ways (not just cities - healthcare, food......). Very curious to hear your response to the scenarios and prototypes we are sketching out :)
