Like at In Time (movie).
But of course it isn't possible so what I'm saying is I think those time bank things are useless.

You cannot buy time, time is the currency, you can only exchange your time for other people's time, if you want to buy someone's else time you pay them in dollars, euros or bitcoin or whatever they accept...

Is it so hard to read the article?

So that just fancy name for hiring someone to do something for you...?

It's an interesting concept. And actually, time is a very limiting factor, since we're aging and don't have an infinite supply. But how are we supposed to gather enough 'time' to buy something we can afford? Is it possible to receive a lot of 'time' from other people? If yes, wouldn't this just degrade the whole principle of the proposed mechanism to a mere plain old currency?
Each individual's time is valuable to that one person. It would be very difficult to trade time between people.

Actually it's very easy. A time-based currency may not be suitable to use in a large scale economy or for any business but it's ideal for a voluntary system within any economy.
Well two people must use time in order to use the other person's time so it would be very difficult to transact with this kind of currency.

If you bother to read the article I've link to you can see there are time banks in a lot of countries and people transact in time-based currency every day.

In my country, Portugal, there are 28 agencies of Time Bank, probably you also can find one near you in your country.

Can I buy time and live forever?
If not then those time banks are pretty useless in my opinion.

Buy time and live forever?!

What the fuck are you talking about?

There's this movie about a time-based economy; I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it so far Grin
Do you mean "In Time"? If so, then it has been mentioned, multiple times. Tongue

I remember there is a movie that time= money, even staying alive need time, and the rich one would never die..
That movie has been mentioned by me and someone else. It's called "In Time" Wink

Nice movie, but it kinda suck that time can be stole so easily.
It does, the movie has some loopholes, but oh well, it was a good movie with an interesting concept after all. So much better than recent movies if you ask me.

Yes, but what the seller will receive in exchange of the service/stuff?

And since time is not stackable, no way to accumulate wealth or make money reserves.

From different points of views, some people think time=money. They keep working to earn money based on the time. They hope there is extra time for them to earn more money. Some people think time is not money. They don't care about how much money they have and think enough is enough. They amuse themselves.

What happens if we made a Unviersal Credit Card, that *always* validated transactions, but would take certain amounts of time for each usage..
like to buy a beer, 5 minutes.

but to buy a motorboat, 50 bajillion minutes
Well technically this could be possible through advertising. Watching advertisements on your credit card or something for x amount of minutes would be worth a dollar. Would be pretty cool, watching ads on your credit card outside the bar and you get a free beer in 10 minutes.

I don't feel like any fucked up movies.  Cheesy
Although the concept is interesting, I'm gonna say no due that the time of each of us is very limited.
It's a different kind of fucked up. It's nothing like the movie you watched yesterday Tongue
I'm still so messed up that I even forgot to type in 'watching' in that sentence.  Cheesy
if we think about this so this is a very serious discussion with us . you guys know that in some countries so many people for a long time in a day but after the end of the they get small amount so all efforts are worthless . I think this one is reason for corruption to grow in our world Sad
Well I know this. In some countries people work the whole year for $3000, while in other parts of the world people get that much or more per month.

If time = money than It would be impossible to lose money value... But this is not a good idea because time for everyone is the same..

Well if this is true so is this>


Mathematical proof:

1) Girls require Time and Money so:

Girls = Time x Money

2)we know that Time = Money so:

Girls = Money x Money = Money2

3)Money is the root of all evil  (Money  = sqrt-Evil) Therefore:

Girls = (sqrt-Evil)2

4) so finally it is proven:

Girls = l Evil l


Nice explanation by Math,
Time always more then worth Money.
