Summary
In this podcast, Marc Coppola interviews Jamie Klinger of JoatU, a marketplace for goods and services that encourages bartering. It encourages users to list their talents and goods to sell, trade, rent or lend. It is a means of sharing information, skills, and resources for a community and encourages community action. They also talk about how crowd sourcing enables people around the world to work collaboratively to find solutions to the world's problems. Joatu is a platform for value generation. Not only does it allow local communities to change what they invest in and evolve their ides regularly, they also allow people to reward these new ideas continuously as well. In the near future, this might be the platform that would remove money as the middleman when it comes to trade so sometime, in the future, we might just be able to live comfortably without really buying anything with money.
