Why Disruptive Change Points to a New Humanism in Banking. Many use the term “disruption” to describe the upheaval we’re seeing in the financial services industry.
But I believe we are witnessing a “phase-change”—a deeper transformation of how banking and business in general are done, caused by the fragmentation of everything and an unprecedented and unsurpassed period of evolutionary innovation-—what might be called a “Cambrian explosion.” In the run-up to Techonomy 2012, I contributed an article entitled “The Six Ways Organizations Can Survive Until 2100.”
Six months later, my essays “Dystopian Futures” and “Drowning In Data, Banks Must Learn To Surf” elaborated on my thinking. Charles Eisenstein. Home - Ascent of Humanity. Collaborative Economy: Industry Stats. Economics of Money and Banking, Part One. The Visionary Commons. We’ve been enculturated to think of economics as a cold, boring, academic subject devoid of connection to humanity’s heart and soul.
In fact it is intimately connected and potentially one of the most juicy, alive, rich ways of understanding and evolving our humanity, our purpose and our future. Economics is one of the most essential fields of agreements on how we hold our collective self-image, how we develop our collective self esteem. CURRENCY REGULATION. NEW CURRENCY. The End of Money.

Thanks for visiting! On the 25th of October, the first edition of the Finance 2.0 Book Roadshow took place in London and was broadcasted live over the web. The recordings are now available online. The roadshow is a platform for authors in the field of innovation and finance. Together with James Gardner (former Head of Innovation at Lloyds Banking Group), Chris Skinner (speaker about innovations in the financial services sector) and Rhydian Lewis (CEO of P2P lending platform RateSetter), Gijsbert joined this roadshow. James is author of the book “Innovation and the Future Proof Bank” and Chris has written (amongst other books) “Socialising the Antisocial Bank“. Within crowdfunding, the focus of the roadshow was on equity based crowdfunding, which is a means for start-up companies to gather capital through crowdfunding in exchange for shares.
The global market for equity based crowdfunding is still very small.

Designobjekte prägen unsere Geldkulturen auf spezifische Art und Weise.

PayDivvy (paydivvy) Banking / Finance 2.0: "The Internet will change the financial world in the years to fundamentally" Das Internet erweckt oft den Anschein, bereits alle Bereiche unseres Lebens durchdrungen und revolutioniert zu haben. Mag dies für viele Bereiche zutreffen, beharrt jedoch kaum ein Sektor so sehr auf veralteten Werten wie das Banken- und Finanzwesen. Amiando-Mitgründer Marc P. Bernegger hat es sich als Partner der gelisteten Schweizer Beteiligungsgesellschaft Next Generation Finance Invest ( www.nextgfi.com ) zur Aufgabe gemacht, genau daran etwas zu ändern.

This is my second post on defining a trust metric for Ripple, or in fact any peer-to-peer credit network which relies solely on trust.
In my last post, I looked at a simple approach based on measuring the average ratio of credits and debts for a user. While this wasn’t a bad start to thinking about the problem of trust in general, it suffered from being too simple (I’ll explain why.) In this post, I want to explore a new approach suggested in a comment by Jordan Greenhall, based on measuring trust as a perspectival, probabilistic calculation rather than an inherent property of a node. First, let’s revisit the reasons why a trust metric is so critical for any peer-based credit network like Ripple to scale.
Background Ripple is a system to create money out of credit relationships between peers, rather than between individuals and banking institutions, or the state. This sets the context for why Ripple needs a trust metric. Trust as Credit Ratio. Main / HomePage. The Future of Business, shared by @gleonhard.

Twenty minutes is not a long time (and thank goodness Laurent indulged me with a couple minutes more) to convey both the context and the substance of what we believe to be a fundamental shift in the paradigm of the financial services industry, but I hope I was able to give at least a good high-level overview.
