A cold WeHo Halloween is the perfect reason to don my Gorilla costume. Now where is my bunch of bananas?
That was a fine dose of completely crowded streets. Most common costume: Day of the Dead. #weho #halloween
In addition to the insanity of a start-up day job, grad school and projects, I might as well do #NaNoWriMo this year.
@avantgame you should invite Myles andGreg (the wiseguys) from www.wiseguysevents.com

Oh shucks, I forgot to tell you @lasanta is having an organizing meeting at Coach n Horses tonight, 8pm. Hollywood. First round is on Santa.
I fear, sleep my dear, we won't be seeing to much of each other these days.
Oh darn. Coach n Horses IS closed! @lasanta is with his el compadre.

@pdenlinger Thank you for sharing! Those are great and smart!
@pdenlinger I wonder how it compares to African development? (Just finished rereading West with the Night)

@kw they totally destroyed my Sweet Lady Jane addiction with one bite of their coconut cake. Try it.

@VenessaMiemis you should do the UH Cert. I did it earlier this year. It's a master's program crammed into 1 week. Highly recommended.
@VenessaMiemis you can't let the $$ stop you from following your dreams! Commit and the money will appear! :) #Goethe
Alrighty @jenjarratt & @Urbanverse. My fingers are ready! #futrchat #apf #futureofmoney
Greetings all around the world for #futrchat. I'm joining from a very sunny Los Angeles. Excited to discuss #futureofmoney today!
Q1: Big Issues for money in 2020/30? exchanges, micro-communities, branded currencies, value encoded in the "money" #futrchat
Q1: flow of capital, currency, value. #futrchat #futureofmoney
hey @sixwing come join us at the #futrchat rt now. We are talking about #futureofmoney
Q1: far out: bio/dna backed economies, legacies #futrchat
@Urbanverse community wealth is valued depending on the community values. Marketplace translation and trust is key. #futrchat
heya @mickipedia, you might want to join the #futrchat now re: future of money. :)
wuffie and social capital = yes. @frankspencer
Currency and money is about having trust. (via @mickipedia) #futrchat
Q1: Aggregation of multi-currency accounts. #futrchat
General currency = trust. Except now. Bankers have lost that trust. Currencies are loosing it. #futrchat
A (mine) scenario answer to the future of money: http://bit.ly/d7KP2w #futureoftransactions #futureofmoney #apf
@sixwing follow #futrchat http://wthashtag.com/Futrchat also, we gotta talk soon!
@creatingchange - right on! "the community currencies build trust & resilience. not scalable. doesn't have to be" #futrchat
wow, twitter is really slow por moi.
@CASUDI I don't think it will aggregate into ONE TRUE ONE, but there will be consolidations. #futrchat
@nedzen this is difficult because different ppl value different things. #futrchat
@VenessaMiemis yeah, I agree on the Yikes factor for one currency. #futrchat
Q2: out there ideas (let me grab my futures wheel lol): banking becomes blue collar. #futrchat
@garrygolden exactly. currency was a way to have trust btwn unknowns. So much less unknowns today w/ reputation mgmt #futrchat
@Luziata @venessamiemis what's the point of having a myriad of individual website and domains? Extrapolate the answer #futrchat
Q2: future banks are not considered banks today. e.g. paypal, individual, communities #futrchat
@jenjarratt @mikeatqazam VC, Angels and Super Angel for investing is growing and will continue to do so. cc @jason #futrchat
@Urbanverse re: can anyone act as a bank? Yes and No. Do you lend your friends money? invest? favors? #futrchat
@Luziata @VenessaMiemis YES! Now, not everyone will want one, or want their own, but there will be some. Others will aggregate. #futrchat
RT @CoCreatr: Re single currency yikes: resilience and thrival need diversity. At least within cartels as in http://x.co/KNkU #futrchat
. @RielM I like that. The meta-structure of the flow of value and capital. #futrchat
@JoeCascio @aussiefuturist electronic equivalent of cash: for easy of use paypal. For privacy: None. :( #futrchat
@VenessaMiemis @jenjarratt banking is not risk adverse when they can make tons of money. :) gotta appeal to those values. #futrchat
@petersonandrew LOL. Nice.
To follow #futrchat go here: http://twitter.com/#!/search/futrchat cc @jenjarratt :)
Um @umairh wanna jump into a conversation about money with a bunch of futurists right now? #futrchat :)
@Luziata Totally!
Here's a corporate currency future scenario example: http://bit.ly/cNUnUI Corporation as "banker" #futrchat
.@RielM support for new conventions: grassroots adoption & usage. collapse of existing system. #futrchat
@mikeatqazam @jenjarratt and like newspapers did not adopt blogging until on their deathbed. #futrchat
RT @frankspencer: Money linked 2 social value; as ideas around SV change, money changes as well over time; this applies 2 idea of "bank" ...
@petersonandrew I like that in theory, but am skeptical in the actual manifestation of the concept.
RT @Urbanverse: Q2 maybe if there's many diff currencies, the translation device or tool is the key? how to exchange microcurrencies #fu ...
@Urbanverse Exactly! the currency exchange. We have this with current markets. A historian's view could be helpful. #futrchat
Q3: what are our future social values (hi & low) in relation to money? A: it depends on who you are, and what you value. ;) #futrchat
RT @Urbanverse: RT @JoeCascio: I agree w/ sevrl hre, new forms of payment will make an end run arnd banks. They will adapt or die. #futrchat
#futrchat imagine transaction relationship like sun = plant. Pure Energy. cc @amoration
Q3: social values are: 1) privacy, 2) stability #futrchat
@jenjarratt @VenessaMiemis the bankers needs lots of money to show their self worth cause mommy didn't. #cynic #futrchat
@justinpickard Nice to see ya join!
@frankspencer @jenjarratt re: resilient systems: YES. They _are_ emerging, but not the dominant paradigm.... yet.
Ok, I apologize to all who follow me who do not want 50 tweets about the future of money. I'll be done in 5 min. *mwah*
@berkun it was! So glad you enjoyed it! :)
@jenjarratt not adopting blogging was very unfortunate. We need traditional media AND new media. They should support the other. #futrchat
@petersonandrew Can you expand on that metaphor? car = garage as money = bank. #futrchat
@aussiefuturist I am really digging your perspective! Nice!
Our values change in life, why can't our currencies. #futrchat time or money. Sometimes I have a payment preference.
RT @justinpickard: #futrchat - Which begs the question, how do we encode/embed redundancy in a currency? #resilience
@frankspencer @busynessgirl we have to have profit to have businesses. We need sustainable profit, not excessive. #futrchat (typo 1st time)
@WorldFutureSoc @aussiefuturist You can do that with Neighborgoods.net #futrchat
