Going back into the history of money and to the fact that money once came into use as a substitute for… trust, it’s possible to imagine a system where trust will be restored as a basis for exchange of goods & services and not only as a social basis for communication.

The very social evolution of money shows that every period of significant advances of our Civilization has been facilitated with a new form of money. The Internet Age or the Age of Communication which we’re living in now will certainly have to establish a new form of value exchange and distribution of resources which will be able to foster the development of new technologies, support social needs of communities and meet global challenges of the humankind.

Within Internet communities, trust has become a very practical measure already with the PageRank from Google and other metrics algorithms which enable rather accurate and objective measuring of value of online resources based on their active audience, references and original pursuit for excellence.

As the financial crisis has been spreading throughout the World during the past months, many world leaders have been discussing the idea of a Global Currency which might replace the American Dollar which is utterly dependent on the American Federal Reserve, a private organization which cannot act on behalf or serve the interests of sustainable global development beyond the narrow private interests of the few.

Considering that world leaders are serious about the idea of the new Glabal Currency, it becomes clear that the new era of online payment systems can foster the evolution of the most conservative financial institutions — the banks.  In the Internet Era, banks are no longer seen as ultimate sources of financing for private or business needs and rather act as redundant instruments in transferring “trust value” over the fiber optic lines or mobile GSM waves across continents.

Sustainability is the key common feature of any cause within Social Network Capital concept. Naturally, sustainable results of all the projects together build up a sequence of most efficient efforts by the humankind.

Real capital of social network members is a powerful financial instrument which eventually helps groups of individuals from around the Globe realize their shared dreams while taking controllable individual financial efforts, participating in selecting most appropriate realization path and tools, and empowering dedicated Project Managers or PM Teams to run Projects towards their realization.

Social capital is a concept developed in sociology and also used in business, economics, organizational behaviour, political science, public health and natural resources management that refers to connections within and between social networks as well as connections among individuals. Though there are a variety of related definitions, which have been described as “something of a cure-all” for the problems of modern society, they tend to share the core idea “that social networks have value. Just as a screwdriver (physical capital) or a college education (human capital) can increase productivity (both individual and collective), so too social contacts affect the productivity of individuals and groups”.
