How do we do free software money? I used to be really into Bitcoin but I saw some serious problems with how it was set up, namely the fees were ridiculous. Obviously crypto isn't the solution but there still isn't any free software method to transfer money. Any website that accepts credit cards is relying on proprietary software.
Draw something in trade for the thing you want from the other party.

Money derives its value from what you can do with it (buy things, pay taxes) so there are essentially only three things a new money system can do:
>Fade into irrelevance due to being useless (most suffer this fate)
<Get used for illicit activities (Bitcoin/Monero for online black markets, others for cryptoscams)
>Get officially recognized by a government (has this ever happened yet?)
>>26185>Money derives its valueBut not its exchange rate its worth noting.
>Get officially recognized by a government (has this ever happened yet?)IIRC there have been some recognized by various Latin American countries for sanction avoidance and remittance.
>How do we do free software money?
im a communist, i want to abolish it, not 'free' it
