Time Banks are traditionally hyperlocal. This is an issue for their adoption. As the success of these human centred exchange platforms crucially depends on their level of adoption, a failure to attract high quality services to the network puts a hard limit on their utility.
# Time is Different
An important aspect of the purpose and core appeal of Hitchhikers is that it is different. The project takes a quirkily alternative look at Earth from the perspective of The Future.
Human centred value exchange - what has been termed people powered money - is not the same - does not feel the same - as Conventional Money. Time is not conventional money, and time based currencies behave diffently, and feel different. This is a Good Fit for Hitchhikers.
