MONEY 2.0 offers the following features:
Availability: MONEY 2.0 is automatically created through trades, therefore it is easily available where needed, and an economic crisis induced by the misallocation of money is impossible.
Stability: Since MONEY 2.0 is only ever created through trades, the amount of money in the market automatically keeps step with the value of available goods. This removes the prime reason for inflation.
Impartiality: Since the power to issue MONEY 2.0 rests with all market participants, MONEY 2.0 isn't vulnerable to the manipulations of a minority.
Fairness: In MONEY 2.0, the power to issue money is relative to each participant's economic productivity. Since the availability of money does not depend on borrowing, the total amount of interest in the system is significantly reduced, and the likelyhood, that money is accrued by those who require it as an exchange medium, is increased.
Independence: MONEY 2.0 does not in any way rely on the traditional financial sytem - therefore, it cannot be affected by a crash or "crisis" of traditional currencies.
Compatibility: MONEY 2.0 is open for exchange against other currencies (old and new).
Grassroots: MONEY 2.0 currencies can be launched and run by any person or institution, without cooperation or even permission of an existing institution or authority.
Scalability: The MONEY 2.0 concept can be used for any size currency - from family money (with only a handful of participants) to a large commercial market involving millions of traders.
Transparency: The software for running MONEY 2.0 is open source, and all relevant system data - including the costs of administrating the currency - are public. Unlike the traditional money system, there are no hidden costs.
