What if you could create your own money? No crypto hype, no speculation – but a value backed by your own skills, your time, and your products. With the first test version of the Human Money App, we are making exactly that possible.
The first thought that inevitably comes to mind for almost everyone when considering the concept of Human Money is: “If every person creates their own money, we’ll sink into total chaos! Everyone will just print millions for themselves. We urgently need a central authority to control this.”
This reflex is not only understandable; it is deeply human. If we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit: we simply cannot imagine a system without central control anymore. And it’s no wonder. From school to retirement, we have been conditioned to believe that order must always be organized from the top down. We have forgotten how to trust in organic coexistence, preferring instead to rely on laws, authorities, and politics.
We are on the verge of an upheaval that is reaching a new quality through the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics, fundamentally challenging our previous understanding of work and everyday life. Warnings from insiders in the tech industry are accumulating: In a few years, this technology will be able to take over a massive part of our cognitive work. What began in industry with robots is now hitting offices, law firms, administrations, and creative professions. The consequence that is often painted on the wall is bleak: mass unemployment, an unprecedented concentration of power among a few tech corporations, and millions of people suddenly considered “useless” to the labor market.
