Observe this picture again

Every form here has been shaped by scarce money:
Traffic to get to work for the salary Cars (an object of desire & power) Fossile energy paradigm Junk advertizing Street survival jobs and sales Junk electric wiring Straight streets and wild urbanism Low cost infrastructure investments etc...

KEY QUESTIONS
Why future organizations and social networks cannot succeed with conventional money anymore?
How these new currency systems will be an innovative response to current worldwide challenges? How can we prepare ourselves? What actions can we take now? How can today's organizations -- companies, banks, governments -- use these new currencies now for their own development, efficiency and competitiveness? What are the new markets and business opportunities?
