Being wealthy simply means you're doing well. So you don't need money to pull it off. The word “wealth” comes from the Old English “weal” which means well-being.

It starts with water, air, food, up to what makes our life meaningful. There is much more wealth than money. But wealth is shrinking as we are expanding money as debt, thus privatizing what used to be common wealth. Wealth is what enables us to thrive.

Let's put together a few more of the pieces before we get to restrictions in flows and how that plays...and then how that relates to reputation. Reputation is already a currency as we define it. Whether that reputation is quantifiable and then even tradable is a matter for a future post. The answer, briefly, is yes, and very carefully, understanding compromises are made. Dangerous approximations. Thank you Dave. Let’s put together a few more of the pieces before we get to restrictions in flows and how that plays…and then how that relates to reputation.

Stamps and airline miles are both currencies, but whereas you can do what you like with stamps and give them to anyone you want to, that's not quite true for airline miles, since you have to go through the airline to trade them and there are some restrictions. If there is going to be some way to turn reputation into a currency, it's going to be more like the latter won't it? I think there has to be some kind of distributed reputation management system in place (even though I don't know what it might be) to handle this... http://digitaldebateblogs.typepad.com/digital_identity/2008/03/talkin-bout-my.html When talking about fiat currencies, it is sometime useful to distinguish between normal currencies (eg, the $) that can be traded essentially without restriction and exotic currencies (eg, the Kenyan shilling) that have rules attached, such as export restrictions.
