The "Minutes Bank" is based on the idea that "time" - unlike currency, cannot be manipulated. It is a finite and non-renewable resource. The only inflation can be time inflation, which, however, has coverage in production. Time is our property, we dispose of it as we want and determine its value ourselves.
The digital social project "Banca de Minute" (www.bancademinute.ro) is an initiative with international exposure (www.minutesbank.com). It consists of a site that permanently counts the time of those who create an account, but its functionalities allow users to transfer numbers between themselves (without commissions), representing equal units of time - minutes.
The Minutes Bank illustrates a monetary and banking system that introduces - through the "monetary representation of time" - a possible currency, called the "convertible minute".
The site presents the benefits of such a "currency", which no one can "sell", because the "producer" can only be "man" - the only generator of monetary mass, by his very existence.
We don't ask for lei, euros or gold to give people the opportunity to use what they already have.
Many of the world's problems today—rising prices, wars, and inequity—are generated by monetary disorder, which is not produced by ordinary people.
