Founding member of Sustainable Money
Working Group (UK)
Research Question:
How might supplementary digital terminating currencies
provide a superior fall back position to Bitcoin in a
financial crisis and/or provide a basis for rehabilitating
distressed or stagnant economies without austerity?
Research Finding:
Terminating digital non-debt backed helicopter money
issued by governments, not their central banks, provide a
superior alternative to Bitcoin in a financial crisis or
without one to stimulate stagnant economies without
austerity
Terminating money has many other names
1. Stamp Scrip – invented by Gesell 1919
2. Speed money as used in this presentation
3. Negative interest rate money
4. Demurrage money
5. Depreciating money
6. Rusting money
7. Self-liquidating money
8. Evaporating money
9. Cost carrying money
10. Non-use fee money
11. Use it or loose it money
12. $Z when value tethered to Sustainable Energy (SED)
Why should money carry a cost?
• To avoid money becoming an asset class
competing with real goods and assets
• The cost can be considered as a service fee
for the convenience of obtaining an
acceptable medium of exchange
• The fee allows the public good provided by
money to be paid for by its users.
• It substantially reduces the cost of the
financial system that becomes more resilient
and self-regulating.
What is speed money?
In the Great Depression privately issued
notes were issued that required a stamp, sold
by the issuer, to be attached each week. Such
“Stamp Scrip” accepted in Europe and in the
US required stamps of 2% of the face value
to be affixed on its back side each week.
The issuer obtained income of 52 x 2%=
104% over the year that was used to redeem
the note at least at a 4% profit!
How can speed money be less costly?
Consider a business with $200K sales per week
and so revenues of $200k x 52=$10.4M p.a.
The cost of accepting credit cards charging 2%
commission would be $208K.
With speed money banked say only once a
week the average cash held would be half of
$200K=$100K costing 2% per week = $2K
being a cost p.a. of 52x$2K=$104K p.a.
Contemporary views on Speed money
Buiter, W. H., 2010. Negative Nominal Interest Rates:
Three Ways to Overcome the Zero Lower Bound,
North American Journal of Economics and Finance,
(Vol. 20), pp. 213-238.
Haldane, A. G., 2015. How Low Can You Go? Bank
of England, September, (five months after my UK
essay: Why should the UK adopt a digital money?)
Goodfriend, M. 2016, Designing Resilient Monetary
Policy Frameworks for the Future, Jackson Hole
Economic Policy Symposium, Wyoming.
Keynes view on Speed money?
Gesell had proposed that a stamp of 0.1% of the
face value of the notes be affixed every quarter to
create a negative interest rate of 5.4% a year.
Keynes (1936: Chapter 23, part VI) supported the
idea and referred to Gesell as “unduly neglected
prophet”. Keynes thought the rate “would be too
high in existing conditions, but the correct figure,
which would have to be changed from time to
time, could only be reached by trial and error”.
Who could issue speed money?
1. Anyone because it is self-financing
2. Local chambers of commerce
3. Other community associations
4. Local governments
5. Regional governments
6. National governments, even those
who are in the Euro Zone
7. European Commission, not ECB
US proposal of February 17, 1933
Pettengill-Bankhead Bill for US Gov:
 To issue $1 billion of Stamp Scrip
 Post office to sell 2% stamps
 Stamp Scrip distributed to each US
State in proportion to population for:
a. Welfare & unemployment income;
b. Building infrastructure to create jobs
and increase productivity.
 Post office makes $40 million profit!
 No government debt, new taxes or QE
What happened two weeks later?
March 4: President Roosevelt inaugurated
March 6: Roosevelt closes all US banks
March 9: Roosevelt convenes joint sitting
of both US houses of Congress and:
(a) Congressman Steagall reads out first
New Deal Bill as no time to print it!
(b) Bill increases powers of privately
owned Federal Reserve to create
money and increase government debt
(c) Bill signed into law same day!
Why not use Bitcoins?
1. Bitcoins must be purchased, they cannot be
given away to pensioners, unemployed,
SMEs or used to finance infrastructure;
2. Bitcoins are not tethered to the Euro;
3. Bitcoins have volatile value;
4. Validating transactions takes ten minutes as
majority of Bitcoin holders must confirm
all transfers;
5. Validation is costly in computer time and
energy consumption.
Taceable speed money?
• All Bitcoins are tagged to avoid them being
duplicated - like numbering notes
• Tagged speed money would inhibit it being
used in the “black economy” for tax
avoidance, money laundering, bribes, fraud
or funding terrorists;
• Greek black economy was estimated at 28%
of GDP by World Bank from 1999-2007.
• Likely acceptance as tagged money if gifted
to voters such as welfare recipients
Digital technology has introduced new options for
designing, using and regulating money besides the 3T
concerns of Timing, Transmission and Traction.
Swipe card and cell phones make it practical to
introduce money with a new 3T architecture of:
1. Tagged to allow integrity of use to be traced;
2. Terminating to remove price distortions, inequality,
financialization & control volume.
3. Tethered to sustainable, non-volatile, objective
units of value like Kwhrs of electricity generated
from benign renewable source any where in the
world at different relative values to allocate
humans and resources in perpetuity.
Technology introduces monetary options

History of speed money
1920 introduced by hundreds of stores in Germany to
promote sales like modern fly-buy points systems;
1931 Issued by coal mine in Bavarian village of
Schwanenkirchen to restart operations;
1932 Wörgl Council issue to revitalise Town
1933 Hundreds of other towns in Europe and the US
introduced Stamp Script;
1934 Swiss WIR with usage fee - removed 1948;
2003 Regional -2%pq speed money re-introduced in
Chiemagauer area of Southern Germany.
2006 German Regio Speed Money Association formed
2011 UK Sustainable Money Working Group formed
Macro stability from parallel money
• The contribution of privately organised parallel
exchange systems to macro economic stability
was reported by Stodder (2005) in both the US
and in Switzerland.
• His US data was based on the International
Reciprocal Trade Association (IRTA) founded in
the early 1970’s and the Swiss data on the WIR
with turnover of 2 billion Euros.
• The Swiss WIR illustrates a private credit system
independent of government! Greece could follow?
Would market forces limit
excessive issue of speed money?
Acceptance of speed money as a supplementary
currency could rapidly decline as it use as a medium
exchange becomes saturated.
Excessive issue of Speed Money could result in it
being discounted to inhibit its excessive issue?
A private issuer of a supplementary speed money
would obtain an incentive to reduce the negative
interest rate. Wörgl’s conversion fee was little used.
A government issuer of a supplementary speed
currency would also have the option of imposing a
tax on deposits of competing “slow” official money.
Parallel Greek low cost speed Euros?
• Private sector could unilaterally introduce speed
money in some jurisdictions as it has in Europe;
• And/or local or national governments;
• Use paper notes in emergency while adopting cell
phone applications and/or existing government
issued debit cards rechargeable and from internet
that would also collect negative interest
payments;
• If adopted nationally then follow proposal by
Russia and PRC to replace coins with swipe
cards/cell phones as suggested by Haldane 2015
Why IMF, ECB & EC should help
• Avoid Eurozone members exiting;
• Introduce monetary sovereignty to Eurozone
nations while improving Euro resiliency;
• Increase growth & taxes by including black
economy;
• Use Greece to learn how to create a more
efficient, equitable, stable, and sustainable
monetary system as outlined in paper;
• Bank of England suggested it could adopt a
digital currency and the UK Treasury has a £10 M
budget to research opportunities.
1. Value not specified by any one or more goods or services to
create false price signals & market failure, eg Stern Report
2. Volume determined by fractional banking, FX practices and
QE and so less than 2% of real economic activity;
3. Biases resource allocation to financial assets as money is a
store of value that can offer more attractive returns than
those that sustain prosperity but depreciate and/or wear
out. i.e. Creates “Financialisation”.
4. Competes with procreative assets that are the only way to
increase prosperity without increasing human exertion or
working hours or to increase human and environmental
“well-being” without consuming more non renewables;
Why fiat money is not fit for purpose 1
5. Increases inequality from unearned interest
income;
6. Nations cannot control the value of their own
currency;
7. Volume of money not determined by real economic
activity;
8. Money value subjected uncertain volatility;
9. No environmental feedback to allocate people or
resources sustainably on the planet.
Why fiat money is not fit for purpose 2
Problems of Central Banking
• “Of all the many ways of organising banking, the
worst is the one we have today” (King 2010: 18).
• “Will future historians look back on central banks
as a phenomenon largely of the twentieth
century?” (King 1999:47).
• Confirmed by BoE staff: Ali, Barrdear, Claws, &
Southgate (2014) when explaining the Bitcoin
technology (2014). Bitcoin is based on a
distributed ledger that denies centralised control
• Central Banking is but a specialised form of
Central Planning requiring one size to fit all.
Consider a mind experiment with the assumption that the
demand for Foreign Exchange (FX) is in proportion to the
population.
Western Australia possess 10% of the Australian population
and earns 70% of Australia’s FX..
WA citizens earn seven times the FX then they need.
Eastern citizens only earn 30% of the FX they consume.
If each region possessed its own currency then the value of
the $West would be much higher than the $East.
Manufacturing and the export of educational and tourist
services would be invigorated in the East. Local solar cell
production would become competitive.
Conclusion: Monopoly money can misallocates
resources much more than tariffs or taxes especially in
resources based economies like Australia
Monopoly money misallocates resources

Sustainable unit of value tether
The retail value of Kwhrs averaged over different
sources of benign renewable energy in each bio-
region produced and consumed by members of a
distribution entity will be described Sustainable
Energy Dollars (SEDs=$Z). Unlike LIBOR and FX
price determined privately every consumer/producer
could monitor and changes in price setting.
Kwhrs of energy would not become money to
avoid the creation of derivatives and
speculation. Money would be created by
producers, traders, consumers defining the value
of their contracts in $SEDs and obtaining credit
insurance to make the contacts acceptable as
money. All or part of the insurance fee would
Who should create money, control its
volume and cost?
1. Private banks & Gov. as at present?
2. Government & bureaucrats only?
3. Private entrepreneurs and giant
firms?
4. Computers manipulating crypto
currency “block-chains”?
5. Producers, consumers, traders &
investors (i.e. market activity)?
Table 2, Existing and Ecological Money
Diff. between: Existing money Ecological value $Z
1 Money created by: Government & banks Consumers, producers, traders
and investors
2 Interest rates set by: Central Bank Cost of risk insurance
3 Expansion of
money:
Government
ratios/regulation
Value of market transactions
4 Value defined by: Government fiat Benign renewable energy
5 Unit of value Not defined Renewable kwhs ($Z)
6 Store of value Yes, subject to inflation Not a store of value
7 Integrity of value Indeterminate Tethered to renewable energy
8 Integrity of system Exposed to contagion Little exposed to contagion
9 Choice of currency Government monopoly Determined by currency region
10 Inflation control by: ‘Blunt’ policy instruments Value of renewable energy
11 Structure of money: Unlimited accrual of interest Carrying cost limiting life
12 Economic flaw-1 Incentive to own money Disincentive to hold money
13 Economic flaw-2 Allocates resources to
finance
Real assets more attractive

Difference between: Existing money Ecological money $Z
14 Economic flaw-3 Distorts price
relativities
Prices set by renewable energy
15 Financial system cost Ever increasing Minimized
16 Financial assets/real Ratio increases Incentive to minimize
17 Economic growth Required to pay interest
costs
Accommodates de-growth
18 Social flaw-1 Compounds unearned
income
No unearned income
19 Social flaw -2 Concentrates influence Localizes influence
20 Political flaw-1 Concentrates power Enriches local democracy
21 Political flaw-2 Low accountability Cooperative accountability
22 Environmental flaw 1 Incentive to burn
carbon
Favours renewable energy
23 Environmental flaw 2 No feedback from
nature
Nature controls price signals
24 Ecological feedback None Local renewable energy service
25 Sustainability Highly questionable More likely

Greek Musings about Bitcoin
Greek finance Minister, Yanis Varoufakis reportedly
stated (as cited in paper):
• “digital Future Tax-coins (FT-coins) that “could
use a Bitcoin-like algorithm in order to make the
system transparent, efficient and transactions-
cost-free”;
• “Greece will adopt Bitcoin if Eurogroup doesn’t
give us a deal”
• Bitcoin Can Be Used in Eurozone “As Weapon
Against Deflation”;
• “national supply of Euros that is perfectly legal in
the context of the European Union’s Treaties”.
Topics I have left out
Nine reasons why official fiat currencies are not fit for
purpose as a medium of exchange;
Why central banking distorts efficient allocation of
resources;
How to create a sustainable unit of value $Z for each bio-
region of the planet, not subject to volatility and resistant
to manipulation.
25 reasons why Sustainable Energy Dollars (SEDs=$Z)
are better fit for purpose than fiat money as a medium of
exchange and vitally to allow market forces to distribute
the plague of people on the planet in perpetual prosperity.

Financial Stability Policy Options

  • 1. Financial stability policy options (Based on paper at http://ssrn.com/abstract=2518020) International Post Keynesian Conference, University of Missouri at Kansas City 16 September 2016 Shann Turnbull PhD sturnbull@mba1963.hbs.edu Founding member of Sustainable Money Working Group (UK)
  • 2. Research Question: How might supplementary digital terminating currencies provide a superior fall back position to Bitcoin in a financial crisis and/or provide a basis for rehabilitating distressed or stagnant economies without austerity? Research Finding: Terminating digital non-debt backed helicopter money issued by governments, not their central banks, provide a superior alternative to Bitcoin in a financial crisis or without one to stimulate stagnant economies without austerity
  • 3. Terminating money has many other names 1. Stamp Scrip – invented by Gesell 1919 2. Speed money as used in this presentation 3. Negative interest rate money 4. Demurrage money 5. Depreciating money 6. Rusting money 7. Self-liquidating money 8. Evaporating money 9. Cost carrying money 10. Non-use fee money 11. Use it or loose it money 12. $Z when value tethered to Sustainable Energy (SED)
  • 4. Why should money carry a cost? • To avoid money becoming an asset class competing with real goods and assets • The cost can be considered as a service fee for the convenience of obtaining an acceptable medium of exchange • The fee allows the public good provided by money to be paid for by its users. • It substantially reduces the cost of the financial system that becomes more resilient and self-regulating.
  • 5. What is speed money? In the Great Depression privately issued notes were issued that required a stamp, sold by the issuer, to be attached each week. Such “Stamp Scrip” accepted in Europe and in the US required stamps of 2% of the face value to be affixed on its back side each week. The issuer obtained income of 52 x 2%= 104% over the year that was used to redeem the note at least at a 4% profit!
  • 6. How can speed money be less costly? Consider a business with $200K sales per week and so revenues of $200k x 52=$10.4M p.a. The cost of accepting credit cards charging 2% commission would be $208K. With speed money banked say only once a week the average cash held would be half of $200K=$100K costing 2% per week = $2K being a cost p.a. of 52x$2K=$104K p.a.
  • 7. Contemporary views on Speed money Buiter, W. H., 2010. Negative Nominal Interest Rates: Three Ways to Overcome the Zero Lower Bound, North American Journal of Economics and Finance, (Vol. 20), pp. 213-238. Haldane, A. G., 2015. How Low Can You Go? Bank of England, September, (five months after my UK essay: Why should the UK adopt a digital money?) Goodfriend, M. 2016, Designing Resilient Monetary Policy Frameworks for the Future, Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium, Wyoming.
  • 8. Keynes view on Speed money? Gesell had proposed that a stamp of 0.1% of the face value of the notes be affixed every quarter to create a negative interest rate of 5.4% a year. Keynes (1936: Chapter 23, part VI) supported the idea and referred to Gesell as “unduly neglected prophet”. Keynes thought the rate “would be too high in existing conditions, but the correct figure, which would have to be changed from time to time, could only be reached by trial and error”.
  • 9. Who could issue speed money? 1. Anyone because it is self-financing 2. Local chambers of commerce 3. Other community associations 4. Local governments 5. Regional governments 6. National governments, even those who are in the Euro Zone 7. European Commission, not ECB
  • 10. US proposal of February 17, 1933 Pettengill-Bankhead Bill for US Gov:  To issue $1 billion of Stamp Scrip  Post office to sell 2% stamps  Stamp Scrip distributed to each US State in proportion to population for: a. Welfare & unemployment income; b. Building infrastructure to create jobs and increase productivity.  Post office makes $40 million profit!  No government debt, new taxes or QE
  • 11. What happened two weeks later? March 4: President Roosevelt inaugurated March 6: Roosevelt closes all US banks March 9: Roosevelt convenes joint sitting of both US houses of Congress and: (a) Congressman Steagall reads out first New Deal Bill as no time to print it! (b) Bill increases powers of privately owned Federal Reserve to create money and increase government debt (c) Bill signed into law same day!
  • 12. Why not use Bitcoins? 1. Bitcoins must be purchased, they cannot be given away to pensioners, unemployed, SMEs or used to finance infrastructure; 2. Bitcoins are not tethered to the Euro; 3. Bitcoins have volatile value; 4. Validating transactions takes ten minutes as majority of Bitcoin holders must confirm all transfers; 5. Validation is costly in computer time and energy consumption.
  • 13. Taceable speed money? • All Bitcoins are tagged to avoid them being duplicated - like numbering notes • Tagged speed money would inhibit it being used in the “black economy” for tax avoidance, money laundering, bribes, fraud or funding terrorists; • Greek black economy was estimated at 28% of GDP by World Bank from 1999-2007. • Likely acceptance as tagged money if gifted to voters such as welfare recipients
  • 14. Digital technology has introduced new options for designing, using and regulating money besides the 3T concerns of Timing, Transmission and Traction. Swipe card and cell phones make it practical to introduce money with a new 3T architecture of: 1. Tagged to allow integrity of use to be traced; 2. Terminating to remove price distortions, inequality, financialization & control volume. 3. Tethered to sustainable, non-volatile, objective units of value like Kwhrs of electricity generated from benign renewable source any where in the world at different relative values to allocate humans and resources in perpetuity. Technology introduces monetary options 14
  • 15. History of speed money 1920 introduced by hundreds of stores in Germany to promote sales like modern fly-buy points systems; 1931 Issued by coal mine in Bavarian village of Schwanenkirchen to restart operations; 1932 Wörgl Council issue to revitalise Town 1933 Hundreds of other towns in Europe and the US introduced Stamp Script; 1934 Swiss WIR with usage fee - removed 1948; 2003 Regional -2%pq speed money re-introduced in Chiemagauer area of Southern Germany. 2006 German Regio Speed Money Association formed 2011 UK Sustainable Money Working Group formed
  • 16. Macro stability from parallel money • The contribution of privately organised parallel exchange systems to macro economic stability was reported by Stodder (2005) in both the US and in Switzerland. • His US data was based on the International Reciprocal Trade Association (IRTA) founded in the early 1970’s and the Swiss data on the WIR with turnover of 2 billion Euros. • The Swiss WIR illustrates a private credit system independent of government! Greece could follow?
  • 17. Would market forces limit excessive issue of speed money? Acceptance of speed money as a supplementary currency could rapidly decline as it use as a medium exchange becomes saturated. Excessive issue of Speed Money could result in it being discounted to inhibit its excessive issue? A private issuer of a supplementary speed money would obtain an incentive to reduce the negative interest rate. Wörgl’s conversion fee was little used. A government issuer of a supplementary speed currency would also have the option of imposing a tax on deposits of competing “slow” official money.
  • 18. Parallel Greek low cost speed Euros? • Private sector could unilaterally introduce speed money in some jurisdictions as it has in Europe; • And/or local or national governments; • Use paper notes in emergency while adopting cell phone applications and/or existing government issued debit cards rechargeable and from internet that would also collect negative interest payments; • If adopted nationally then follow proposal by Russia and PRC to replace coins with swipe cards/cell phones as suggested by Haldane 2015
  • 19. Why IMF, ECB & EC should help • Avoid Eurozone members exiting; • Introduce monetary sovereignty to Eurozone nations while improving Euro resiliency; • Increase growth & taxes by including black economy; • Use Greece to learn how to create a more efficient, equitable, stable, and sustainable monetary system as outlined in paper; • Bank of England suggested it could adopt a digital currency and the UK Treasury has a £10 M budget to research opportunities.
  • 20. 1. Value not specified by any one or more goods or services to create false price signals & market failure, eg Stern Report 2. Volume determined by fractional banking, FX practices and QE and so less than 2% of real economic activity; 3. Biases resource allocation to financial assets as money is a store of value that can offer more attractive returns than those that sustain prosperity but depreciate and/or wear out. i.e. Creates “Financialisation”. 4. Competes with procreative assets that are the only way to increase prosperity without increasing human exertion or working hours or to increase human and environmental “well-being” without consuming more non renewables; Why fiat money is not fit for purpose 1
  • 21. 5. Increases inequality from unearned interest income; 6. Nations cannot control the value of their own currency; 7. Volume of money not determined by real economic activity; 8. Money value subjected uncertain volatility; 9. No environmental feedback to allocate people or resources sustainably on the planet. Why fiat money is not fit for purpose 2
  • 22. Problems of Central Banking • “Of all the many ways of organising banking, the worst is the one we have today” (King 2010: 18). • “Will future historians look back on central banks as a phenomenon largely of the twentieth century?” (King 1999:47). • Confirmed by BoE staff: Ali, Barrdear, Claws, & Southgate (2014) when explaining the Bitcoin technology (2014). Bitcoin is based on a distributed ledger that denies centralised control • Central Banking is but a specialised form of Central Planning requiring one size to fit all.
  • 23. Consider a mind experiment with the assumption that the demand for Foreign Exchange (FX) is in proportion to the population. Western Australia possess 10% of the Australian population and earns 70% of Australia’s FX.. WA citizens earn seven times the FX then they need. Eastern citizens only earn 30% of the FX they consume. If each region possessed its own currency then the value of the $West would be much higher than the $East. Manufacturing and the export of educational and tourist services would be invigorated in the East. Local solar cell production would become competitive. Conclusion: Monopoly money can misallocates resources much more than tariffs or taxes especially in resources based economies like Australia Monopoly money misallocates resources 23
  • 25. Power Consumption per person v’s GDP per person Goberty & Zitoli (2012), ‘Deko: An electricty- backed currency proposal’ available at: http://ssrn.co m/abstract=1 802166 25
  • 26. Sustainable unit of value tether The retail value of Kwhrs averaged over different sources of benign renewable energy in each bio- region produced and consumed by members of a distribution entity will be described Sustainable Energy Dollars (SEDs=$Z). Unlike LIBOR and FX price determined privately every consumer/producer could monitor and changes in price setting. Kwhrs of energy would not become money to avoid the creation of derivatives and speculation. Money would be created by producers, traders, consumers defining the value of their contracts in $SEDs and obtaining credit insurance to make the contacts acceptable as money. All or part of the insurance fee would
  • 27. Who should create money, control its volume and cost? 1. Private banks & Gov. as at present? 2. Government & bureaucrats only? 3. Private entrepreneurs and giant firms? 4. Computers manipulating crypto currency “block-chains”? 5. Producers, consumers, traders & investors (i.e. market activity)?
  • 28.
