Sqale: Value Peace LAB with an Alternative Economy

  • Do we want our 3000 year old broken economic system to be replaced?
  • Would we  prefer a more receptive audience to help us create new systems that heal instead of harm humanity?

Sqale is a value or a gift economy technology. Here is a link for Peace LAB on Sqale (beta) to help Peace LAB (and a new economy platform) evolve as we go (grow). Learn about Sqale (between eyes-crossing as we learn and create it together), in these short easy(r) YouTube playlist videos for Sqale.  What is it?  These short videos explain better than what can be put in words here. This platform provides another way of valuing each other, our projects, creations and contributions – a far better way than our current broken system.  Sqale is based on giving and sharing. Not taking. Not owning. Seems worth a try as we create a more beautiful bountiful shared reality on our precious Mother Earth.
