Can Local Contribution-Based Currencies Replace Crypto?

None of them succeeded, except one[3] which can be used for making actual purchases at gas stations and stores in Canada.

I'm not sure what you are bringing to the table here.

I have long dreamed of how exactly all this could be of useful utility to real people and real places and real [community of] things.

I don’t know everything you have going on here, though I like what I see so far.

I have wished for similar ideas around functional communities who actually still have brick and mortar terminal interests. It’s a big leap these communities going digital, however the economies they generate within themselves could have long term “share cooperative” value.

It could be like a currency with a running exchange (cash and carry) however what it is in one part (token) a value share, and in another (non fungible) like a voting right (contributor.)

Anyways, yes, local value systems that aren’t public blockchain have a place in the world.
