If there are four of you on a tiny island and you're not running an informally communist society, something's wrong.

Possibly what's wrong is that one of you is a libertarian.

I'm no purely being flippant here - four people are going to be so inter-reliant and form such a small, tigh-knit group, that keeping track of balances and debts is likely to cause more problems than it could possibly solve.

This is a situation for trust, not currency.




I agree. You're more like a family at that point than four LLCs.

Then again, I wonder how many people reading that blog post and nodding along are already sketching out a brilliant idea to bring this back home, and have their spouse and kids get on the handwritten blockchain wagon.


How do you decide that unlimited trust is better than properly accounted currency?
