Dr. Bill Maurer, Dean of the University of California, Irvine School of Social Sciences
and Founder of the Institute for Money, Technology, and Financial Inclusion, told
ETHNews …. “Economists talk about there being a hierarchy of money or a pyramid of

we can make up our own scrip currency, I can use airline miles and start converting
them into food at the airport.”
