The future of currency in the direct markets of tomorrow - or: A blueprint for a world without money

Abstract

Our concepts of value are being challenged by new social/technological models like the share economy & the Bitcoin (Blockchain technology). This, however, is just the tip of the iceberg: There are bigger things to come that will shake up the very core of our value system: Our concept of money. One of these models - the direct market - shall be the topic of this article. It's based on a combination of different intelligent algorithms and the basic premise that likeminded people think alike. It's a heuristic approach to the way we distribute goods in our society.
