Fedimints and Cashu are exciting for their their potential to create local, resilient, community-focused economies. Pairing that with the ideas of Will Ruddick from Grassroots Economics:
"Here is a simulation of a transition from the current economic system into one that is more polycentric - via pooling vouchers of agents with mycorrhizal fungal network growth functions. In this simulation we look at the survival of nodes (via a heat map) in linear supply chains vs networks.
With typical market dynamics local communities are vulnerable. With a web-like network you can provide a lot more economic security. "
