I'm glad to see anything said about a gift economy. I've been pondering this too. Is steemit a gift economy? I think it's something in between. Most interactions come at zero cost aside from a little time and effort, which for most people is still not as valuable as money. I would love to see money flowing in and out of people's wallets for no other reason but to support each other but it's still not THAT widespread here. I hope to see it more and more though. I hope that steemit can help prepare people to be able to function in such an environment and moves more and more in that direction. Have you written about how you grew up? I've never met anyone who grew up in a gift economy.

It had elements of a gift economy, but was not a tribe. I grew up in an intentional Christian community.........i do remember sometimes when vegetables or fruit from the garden was left at our doorstep, free from our neighbors........also there is the cookie lady........
