Deposit accounts are the core of banking.

Summary: no firm and no individual will fundamentally change the core of banking because it is built upon licences, infrastructures, agreements, global policies, governmental forces, regulatory management and more ensuring that the status quo is maintained.

New Currency Frontiers: Membrane Currencies - 1 views
-
This fact, that the boundaries of a membrane are somewhat fuzzy, is particularly interesting because that's exactly what membranes themselves are: boundaries. They are the component of a system that makes it appear to be a separate, complete, and integral system in the context of some environment.
-
Membranes can be seen as that which creates a context, or environment, in which subsystems can be coordinated to into being an integral whole.
-
Membranes are permeable. One of the most important features of any membrane, is exactly the form and shape that it gives to permeability. This permeability, is clearly a mechanism for regulating flows in and out of a system, of coordinating how the inside of the system will see the outside, of limiting/enhancing/controlling/shaping/transforming what gets in and out.

The Churn Whereas the mesh is the accessible state of the players, their identity and functional relationships as the history of the wealth-acknowledgments between them, the "churn" is the process by which new entities are added to the mesh and by which existing entities become further enmeshed. This "enmeshment" is the result of discrete events. Thus the mesh is the "nouns" of the open money world, whereas the churn is its verbs.

A currency organizes connections and interactions between groups of people into a kind of collective behavior which creates a kind of living social organism. The design of that currency (the rules about issuance, transaction, conversion/co-function, retirement/expiration, participant classes, governance, etc.) are the DNA of this social organism
-
DNA doesn’t tell us exactly what each individual biological critter will do, but it does define a particular range of possibilities and tendencies
The Core of MetaCurrency: Composable Abstractions for Wealth Building | The MetaCurrenc... - 0 views
-
"What would it take to make currencies as powerful for building and sharing wealth, as language is for building and sharing meaning?"
-
The answer to that question, I believe, lies in discovering/inventing a set of composable abstractions for wealth building
-
Notice a pattern in each of these layers of composable abstractions: a set of fairly tight constraints allows the production of a huge number of "expressions."
