The Future of Money

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the greenback dept.

Snuggums writes "Apparently some major forces at play in the tech money world. People like Vint Cerf, Tim O'Reilly, Andre Durand, and Cory Doctorow are teaming up with Tom Frey and the futurist think tank, DaVinci Institute, to dive into the forces at play with a Future of Money Summit later this year. They've even tapped a Nobel Prize winner and Visa founder, Dee Hock. They're hoping to answer questions like; what kind of money you'll be putting into vending machines 25 years from now; when will cash disappear; when will our current banking system become obsolete; and who gets to own money in the future?"

      That would be called a "tripe", of course.

      Anyone know if that's ever happened? And who the lucky edioter was?

    The time is soon arriving when soon only those branded with the "Mark of the Beast" will be able to buy and sell. It's not too late to get right with Jesus. Do it today. Ask Jesus into your heart as your personal savior. Please stop by CBN or call the CBN prayer line at 1-800-759-0700.

      If you really want to show appreciation for -1bynextweek's posts, mod them DOWN. It's a lot of work getting to -25 on two posts a day!

    Hi there,

    My name is David and I'm here to help you fulfill your crack-induced fantasy of Socialism. Right don't you and your goddamn hippie ass move to a socialist paradise? Might I suggest China, North Korea, Cuba, or southern California and leave my ass alone.

    Thank you very much,

    get an interest free checking account. They are usually quite limitless. I use a savings account for interest. Most banks allow unlimited transfers between accounts while using webbanking.

    I have no fees unless I use an ATM that is out of the network. There are so many of these ATMs here that I rarely have a problem unless I go out of state.
