B2B trading instruments

Restructuring world production, distribution and services

B2B means of trade has to be placed in a future scenario in which economy has suffered deep changes.

1. Scarcity of petrol has been the driving force towards a localization of economy. Transport is too expensive.
2. Most energy is electric energy produced by renewables. The production is scattered amongst millions of small producers.
   
3. Recycling waste has to be local. Waste cannot be thrown into the third world, transport is too expensive. Recycling becomes expensive. Furnishings, Do it Yourself Robotics, and Repair gain relevance.
   

The World market for global goods is reduced to the few goods for which the economies of scale can only be reached as world production. Many things now produced global will have the optimal scale at Region level or even City level. The table below may help at visualising the optimal size for each industry.

B2B means of trade have to be adapted for these markets.

Social services have City or Region scale

It means that money used as P2B sovereign currency will have a local circulation. The P2P Credit contract used to generate the Commons Sovereigns monetary mass could, in principle, be global. However, transport is too expensive and world tourism will become therefore expensive and slow. With most probability we will assist at the proliferation of different sovereigns at City, Region and Country levels, reflecting each of the taxation levels.

Barter

Barter is a system of exchange by which goods or services are directly exchanged for other goods or services without using generally a chamber of compensation database. It is very suited for companies. On the blockchain such a platform is the same as an exchange platform of B2P type of currencies as a promise of goods.

The natural evolution of such currencies is towards industrial sector common B2P currencies, instead of company by company B2P currencies, in special for SMEs. For example, all restaurants of a City or a Region could issue such a currency for the total sales of one year adding all sales forecasts of all restaurants, and then each restaurant marks its dishes with his own prices. Such associations are more difficult at larger scale, because the production conditions change too much. In fact, most Chambers of Commerce have a Region or Country scale. We can foresee that most B2P currencies will have this distribution.

World trade currencies

World trade will probably have the need of some general purpose, universally valid, not extinguishable type of currency. History has used gold. In order to float on the other currencies with nobody’s control, it has to have a guaranteed stable and fixed monetary mass. On the blockhain, this is Bitcoin or any of the other altercoins.
