NO this is exactly what I wanted to hear. I think one of the problems is that he needs to float his idea with more people and get valuable CRITIQUE (not criticism) rather than having the idea float with just a few people. The obstacles are GOOD!
Many people are time poor as they try and provide for their families in the system, so earning another currency which isn't fiat is likely to feel low down on their list. It's hard for them to see value in it, when they don't have much time to then take part in that community using the currency.
I agree - I think this would be great for a lot of hippies who don't work much anyway, having chosen to 'opt out' of the system. I also think it'd take some full on organising, a bit like I do with Natural Medicine - media, delegating etc. It would really take some dedication, which is why I'm a bit fuzzy on committing until there is a solid plan that will really work.
It's hard isn't it - you have to be idealist and aim high, but also realistic and earthed at the same time.

That really is the tough part; meshing the ideals with the reality to bring things to fruition.
