What a world without money would look like?

Have you ever wondered or wanted a new way of currency? If this new way of currency was better would u use it? Why would we need to change it? Will it take some of our freedoms away? What would this new currency look like? How would it work?

I have an idea on how to change our currency. I believe it’s a way better way to get the things you want with no risk of losing what you have worked for or having the money you have earned stolen from you. I would change our way of currency because its out dated we have the technology now to stop using money that been used since 600 B.C. we have been using coins instead of bartering. Well… coins are way better then bartering. Because you can get whatever you want with a coin. But coins can be stolen. So we have been using the same way of currency for 2615 years. Why is there not been a better way? Seems to me that it may be a little outdated... in this new way of currency you can get everything you can get today. And I’ll show you how this will work and what we need to do to make it happen. If you want it of course.

Here is a person’s life born into this new way of currency. Let’s call this new currency commendation. A new baby is born. His parents named him Kyle. He spent week or two in the hospital. Then his parents brought him to his new home that his parent bought and own by their own merit. He has many of the luxury the world has to offer in his home. He starts going to school, and he meets a boy name Bryan. Bryan house is much bigger and surrounded by many fun things. He has a pool and the house looks much nicer than Kyle's. Kyle asks himself why his house is so much better than mine. Well Kyle doesn’t know it yet but Bryan's. Family has helped their country in many ways. All their work has made the country worth more. And they have put many hours into making their country a better place for human life. How they did it is up to them they could have started a business that gives people a luxury and earned commendation depending on the demand for their product. Or they could have work for a farm or maybe they have made great strides in technology or knowledge. Well they could have done all of these things or a few of these things but whatever they did got them commendations for making everyone lifestyle better. So Kyle asks Bryan why his house is so wonderful. And Bryan says why you don’t ask my parents. So Kyle does. He finds out how Bryan's house and possessions is so much better. He finds out that Bryan dad has work most of his life making the country more luxurious and sustainable than his parents have. Bryan's dad help the world sustain their needs by helping grow crops at a farm then he created new jobs by creating his own business that makes new apartment communities. Bryan's dad then explains to Kyle that he has made commendations not by how many apartments he has made but by the demand for them and has gained commendation depending on the demand for his housing. So Bryan's dad says that he has worked so hard to make a lot of housing but the house's he has made that no one lives in have not gained him any commendations until someone moves into them. And if they remain vacant he may have to lose some of the commendations he has worked for to tear them down and sell the land he owns to earn some commendations back. But his work will be unpaid because there is no demand for the houses. Kyle then has a passion to find or make something that people need and want. Now Kyle has Finnish high school and has earned a very high GPA. So the city grants him commendations depending how good he did in school. And his teachers gained commendation hourly for teaching set amount of students. Kyle now has commendation let’s say he gained 1,500. He looks online for a one bedroom apartment. But most of them are too expensive some cost 2000 commendation a year. And they only allow one year of lease. So to live there for a year he must pay that amount of commendation in full. So he chooses to stay with his parents till he earns more commendation. So he does and he signs the lease and freezes 2000 of his commendation. And now he has 2000 frozen and 0 commendation. But he can still go to any store and pick out as much as food he wants of food. But he has no furniture. He eats for free because someone else has gained commendation for making the food and gets paid depending on the demand for their food. So there work has fed him. Now he needs things that he wants well to get a commuter he needs to have gained 1000 commendation. Because if he got luxury for free then what is there to work for. So once he goes into a store with 1000 commendation. That he earned by working at a fast food restaurant. Now to get the commuter he just has to earn that much commendation so that everyone knows that he has earned that computer. So he goes to best buy picks up a computer and the cashier checks it out scans his I.D to make sure he has earned 1000 commendation. And he walks out with the computer still having 2000 frozen and 1000 commendation. But other things only require 1000 commendation so he sees a couch that he wants that is cheap so he picks that up checks it out and walks out with 2000 frozen and 1000 commendation. Now to get 2 couches of the same quality he needs 2000 commendation. Or he may get the nicer couch for 2000 commendation. So he still has choices. And when he walks out with the couch and computer. The company that made them gets commendation for what he got out of the store. So that their work is paid only by the demand for their product. If an item is unsold the work the company put into making it is unpaid so the company overall gets a lower commendation and there for his workers get less commendation hourly. And they all get paid a percentage of how much commendation the company has earned and the percentage is governed by the boss. So that’s what Kyle’s early life would look like. Yes this new way of currency is very complicated but the complication of how it works is dependent on the peoples demand.

If you have any questions or scenarios or any doubts please comment so I can give a straight answer on how this new currency would work. Everything in here is just how some of it works and I’m always looking for ways to improve this idea. Thank you for your time.
