The Credit Commons is a crowdfunding and crowdsourcing campaign with one audacious and visionary goal: to rethink the system. Our current system was created over 100 years and needs to be modernized. It’s an an unstable and unsustainable system that came within hours of a complete meltdown in October 2008. Today we stand on the threshold of a new frontier in money systems. With the advance of digital technology, social networks and mobile payment solutions, new models of creating shared prosperity are emerging. Can we connect the dots between these trends and design a parallel, complementary system to allocate capital more efficiently and equitably? Instead of waiting for Washington to act, can we use our own capital and ingenuity to create the code of a more democratized "money as software" platform? Can we imagine “Social Banks” inspiring public trust with new motivations, new sharing mechanisms, new levels of stability coded right into the DNA of this new system?

It's not only irresponsible for Donald Trump and Ted Cruz to call for a return to the gold standard, it's dangerous.

Fast-forward to 2016 and we’ve entered into a world no longer dominated by tools, but by machines. The crucial difference between a tool and a machine is that the former relies on human energy, while and the latter relies on non-human energy channelled via a system that replicates - and accentuates - the action of a human using a tool. The carpenter is now a furniture corporation using computer-programmed CNC cutters. Likewise, the bank that keeps score of that company’s money runs humming datacentres with vast account databases. These are digital equivalents of the old ledger books, drawing upon fossil-fuel generated electricity to write and hold information as magnetised atoms on hard-drives.
