Trust - Ajay: 2 things going on: boom & bust (who do you trust in each). Once upon a time, people would create things: crafgts - surplus goods, services, skills, local.
by bryanhurren at 3/17/2009 10:28:57 PM
Ajay: move to trade. Cargo, relationships, loans. In the trust scenario is low - interest is premium on risk.
by bryanhurren at 3/17/2009 10:29:43 PM
bank: fx, trust, bond, credit. in the 1600's (some history): dutch had merchants around the world in diff currencies. Italians came up with loans. Brits deposits. Can't make a transaction without trust.

cell (jobs, fx, security). in developing countries, BoA wants us to think of the mobile device as an ATM machine. Craft (new skill,s new services, new surplus).

How can social media mitigate trust issues? Sacha: currency is only a promissory note - what happens when trust disappears? One option for substituting money - airtime minutes.
