Since the Financial Crisis of 2008 I've been building and maintaining community currency systems, used mostly in France, Belgium and Switzerland.

Along the way I've explored the nature of money and run a few workshops and courses. Around 2019 I published the Credit Commons protocol, a way for independent community currencies to keep accounts with each other.

After many years of nomading and living almost moneylessly, I now live in South Italy with a woman and 200 olive trees, putting down roots and actually participating in a local community.

I co-founded Community Forge, which hosts free open source social networking platforms which support community currencies.
