The next currency
This was just a simple early-night TUI(typing under influence) thought:
Money seems so much more like a concept rather than a physical object. I can now pay for at least a week of travel time to a different location to start anew, which (probably/statistically) most humans throughout history have not been able to do.
Historically we people started out with emotional submission to a group for acceptance of resouces,
then progressed to food as barter/bargaining power,
then on to tools/ability to make food, then impractical objects such as sea shell/bird feathers/animals with shiny metals,
then metal coins alone,
then added paper, then electronic banking(value stored and tranfered without physical reference to any holdings),
then/now credit (promise of present value repayment).
What will be the next form of "money"?
I'll guess a form of promisary mental/phsyical function of total ability-- based upon previous statistics of sucesses and geneology/application aplied as "mental/physical credit"(?)
I dunno, what is the next form of "credit"?
