Is the future of local currencies digital? Does Wales need its own crypto currency? Please come along and discuss!
With Scotland about to launch the Scotcoin on a cryptocurrency exchange, and with many places across the UK having already abandoned their local currency projects, we're asking whether the future of place-based currencies might be crypto, and how Wales might design an alternative currency fit for the 21st century.
We would love to bring together all those from across Wales who are interested in cryptocurrencies, local currencies and related topics! What's happening in Wales (or elsewhere) to create a place-based currency, and can it be done in a way that helps Wales on its path towards a wellbeing economy - one that serves the wellbeing of people and the planet?
If you have perspectives on this that you would like to share or discuss privately, or if you have ideas for possible speakers for this meeting, please contact [email protected]
WHO ARE WE?
Wellbeing Economy Wales is part of the global Wellbeing Economy Alliance. We are an alliance of people and organisations who are striving for a new and better economy for Wales – one that serves the wellbeing of our people and our planet, rather than one based on the obsessive pursuit of “growth” at any cost. There IS another way! And there’s so much happening here in Wales already.
We want to make new ways of living and working, and new ways of organising our society and our economy, more visible, more accessible and more relevant to all those who live here. Because economic system change will involve us all, and WeAll have a vital part to play.
Our monthly meetup is open to all - come and discuss what's happening here in Wales, share news and perspectives with likeminded people and hear about the activity of our alliance as we seek to make change happen!
