Digital “Barter” Platform: Will it Succeed in Today’s Creator Economy?

Let’s tap into the real cashless society model from our ancestors

IMAGINE THIS: You’re broke and literally have no petty cash left in your pocket. Your bank account is screaming for help, too. But you need to eat and pay your bills. How do you survive without taking a loan from the bank, borrowing money from your friends and relatives, or begging for alms in the streets?

Now let’s pause for a while and create an alternative world: You’ve got a lot of incredible skills — coding, video & photo editing, teaching, music scoring, painting, interior designing, landscaping, and the list goes on.

If our society adopts a modern system that will accept these skills as payment for whatever goods or services you need, will you survive? Will everyone be able to afford anything they want or need, so long as they’ve got the skills needed by society?

Barter vs Currency System

Barter is not a new or groundbreaking idea. This has been around during early civilizations and can be traced back hundreds of years on different continents of the world, for instance, between Europe and Southeast Asia.
