A time bank is a system by which people mutually exchange activities, services and knowledge without profit, so no circulation of money, but just exchanging the time available.
Now if in real life we can exchange favors with friends, but how can we carry this concept over the internet or better to get started on Steemit?
On the internet there is often no direct knowledge, we do not meet personally, but the skills are much wider, we can meet many people who for work or hobby have that skill that could serve us to end a job or simply to fill the their own curiosity.
In different cities there is a real bank of time where people subscribe and make available a quantity of their time.
The Steem community in italy is rapidly growing and so @luigi-technologo has created a new asset on the Waves platform. Here is the video where he talks about it.
This is a virtual cryptocurrency the ϻinsCoins (ϻins) that give value at the time of all of us. The same value for everyone, whether we are attorneys or gardener.
Now the internet-based activities will be mostly virtual. I'll do some examples:
- text translation
- personal lessons
- creation of images, logos, slogans ...
but maybe in the future ϻins will be usable for:
- go to shopping at the supermarket
- go to pay bill at bank or post office
- do gardening
- give music lessons ...
The underlying concept is that counts the time that you used and not what you do, all the benefits are worth the time they spend.
So the time we receive does not necessarily have to return it to the same person, but we can exchange it with everyone who will use the ϻins.
It remains to be seen whether this project will take shape as they will be distributed and how they will earn the coins of time!
For 15 ϻins what could I do?
Help you install a linux server, install programs on your pc, build websites, and so on.
And you? What could you do for 15 ϻins?
P.S: Sorry for my bad English! My first ϻins I could use them for a few English lessons!
