Act-5: Try out an alternative currency or exchange system for yourself!

This past few days we were learning about alternative currency. Basically, alternative currency means that we can only use the money in a certain place.

One of the example of alternative currency is barter. Barter is trading things with things, for example I want to trade my laptop with the watch that I want. Barter have advantages and disadvantages. One of the…

ACT 5: Try out an alternative currency or exchange system for yourself!

My mission this week as part of Mission 5, The Future of Money, was to make at least one economic transaction using a non-traditional currency, platform or exchange system I've never used before. Maybe try an alternative currency, participate in a bartering system or skills bank, and maybe want to make a micro-loan. However, I won't be able to try an alternative currency system or make a micro-loan right now. Thus, I chose to try a bartering system. Even though it is not a bartering system…

Alternative Currency is a currency that is made locally to get money circulate locally longer to build up the local community, because the currency is produced more and more in the area while…
