Peace Portal Partners: Alternative Economic Partners
“If the Internet is going to become the engine of global commerce it's cracked up to be, it needs a currency it can call its own - a currency as nonproprietary and international as the Internet itself.” ~ Wired
In this Topic area PeacePortal shares the alternative economic models of our expressed partners, and of the system which inspire us.
Private currencies have a long history, they are still in use today and new ones are created daily due to the advent of the Internet.
Did you know there are over 40 private currencies in use throughout the USA Right Now? 
There are more than 1000 online "e-currency brokers/exchange sites" globally, and the number continues to grow. Even corporations use private currency such as Frequent Flyer "Points" or Rewards - some like Disney Dollars print their own, and that doesn't count the virtual world currencies in places like Second Life.
