#localcurrency systems gaining again popularity in Japan after a previous peak two decades ago.

While these projects generally struggle versus overdominant official currencies, they show the mindset required if your objective is to have real impact in economic structure.

Contrast with antisocial "zero trust" #crypto that only enables scams and speculation.

The locality concept need not be literal, e.g., could be paired with #fediverse #decentralization #gnutaler
