The true value of #blockchain won’t come until we increase adoption & uses of #cryptocurrencies. Our partner @Digi_Town is doing just this by creating a framework for millions of consumers, businesses, & governments to easily use #cryptocurrency
#Visa & #Mastercard have come under scrutiny over the fees they charge #merchants. Our #SmartWallet supports #fiat and #crypto, businesses only pay 1% payment processing fee and everyone enjoys free peer-to-peer transfers #Digitalpayment #SmallBiz #Retail wsj.com/articles/mastercard-…

Ireland's annual online spend is €5 billion & 60% leaves the country. Do we get that €3 billion back into the country in goods & services or is a lot of it consumed by transaction fees? @Digi_Town helps local economies become more robust in the face of the extraction economy.

"Our thesis is that the city, town, or village become its own Amazon, Expedia, Opentable, Airbnb, and Paypal with the result being that the commissions should accrue to the co-op owners in proportion to their ownership," says @Digi_Town CEO, @robmonster shareable.net/Zxc

The extraction economy at work. Who banks the float and who pockets the breakage from non-redemption matters! Keep funds local. @Digi_Town
Imagine if one day all these gift cards were replaced with certificates/currencies to local mom & pops. Imagine how much $$ would recirculate back into our communities, not extracted #bottomup #resilience

Rather than see an increasingly powerful & global digital economy as a threat to local economies, a new paradigm of digital city platforms powered by @Digi_Town can create town centres that promote sustainable local businesses and revenues. bit.ly/2NZKNwi @faris_says

Did you know the @Digi_Town #smartwallet charges zero fees in stores? why? To make #buylocal a frictionless experience in a way where local business doesn’t need to lose so bad! #cocreate #smartcity #cooperative teapaw.org/stacyfmitchell/status/…
What concerns me about a cashless future is how much it benefits Wall Street. Visa, AmEx, and MC can charge swipe fees of 2-3% not because that’s what the service actually costs, but because they have monopoly power. It’s a form of rent-taking. slate.com/business/2018/07/c…
