Hi! I think you would really be interested in the Transition Network and the local currencies that have been developed alongside this. When you look at the Brixton Pound for example, you can see how the introduction of this local currency enabled people to work in juts this way, creating small self-sufficient businesses and rebuilding what used to be a degraded part of London to something beautiful, artistic and self-supporting. I really think crypto can help us make this next step with permaculture :)
