  1. This mutual credit is yet another attempt to going back to previous systems
    which is simply stupid and unnecessary. Look up The Venus Project, RBE and
    The Zeitgeist documentaries here on YT.

  2. 1.) Banks create their own money when they issue a loan. However, not as
    described by “fractional reserve banking.” What matters here is that you
    can’t buy government bonds nor pay your taxes with that money. Your bank
    needs to give “real” money if you want to buy that. 2.) U.S. bonds, paper
    currency and money the FED types in is the same “real” level of money. The
    US Treasury issues a bond that gets bought by the FED later on. Ad
    infinitum. It’s a sustainable system, albeit not a fair one.

  3. Sustainable Man, you mean well, but the US monetary system doesn’t work as
    you might think. I’d recommend looking for Modern Monetary Theory for an
    accurate description. It can be found elsewhere of course, but it is most
    succinctly explained there. As for mutual credit systems, there are many of
    those in the the US and worldwide too. One prominent example is WIR
    Switzerland. However, great as they are, they could never replace money
    creation by the financially sovereign federal government.

  5. Or we just get rid of any monetary system. We can start with a resource
    based economy. Just like Mark Boyle is doing for the last 5 years. In those
    five years he never received or spend a penny. If he can do it, then so can
    everyone else.

  6. How would we track the credits? How does bankruptcy work in this system?
    How is it better then say bitcoin? How does it address technological
    unemployment?

  7. If you investigate how money is created, you will find that all the money
    in existence came into existence through some kind of loan (which is debt)
    and almost always comes with a level of interest attached.

  8. Well, I dont say that the system is perfect, but from where does your
    statment com, that money is debt? Im not trying to make it a provocation,
    just wondering.

  9. I haven’t looked deeply into alternative systems, as long as there are no
    central planners and we’re all free to trade with whomever and where ever,
    as long as we’re opting out of the current system of debt we’re taking our
    power back.

  10. People like this don’t want reality, they want to continue in their version
    of what they call truth. You can not open their eyes, its a waste of your
    valuable time. 🙂

  11. Bible says, if you don’t use money then its the mark of the beast. Dumbest
    argument ever on SO many levels… just can’t take it anymore. Thanks, bye.

  12. I call you a sheep because its a apparent in your statement… clearly,
    you’re not thinking for yourself and are content on being instructed as to
    what you should value by your slave masters in political offices. If you
    think it a point of pride that you have no mind of your own, then I can’t
    feel anything but pity for you.
