Subject: The death of money - Part I

If production continues to become robotic/automatic, money will become extinct.


When production no longer requires human labor then no one will be paid to 
consume production.

This new paradigm will have no need for money.


Drexler's molecular nanotechnology would only make this new paradigm happen 
faster.

It's already happening anyway.


I can't envision a truly technologically-advanced future where money will be 
needed.

The trick is to get from these pre-scientific Dark Ages to that future.

Cryonics is simply a personal back-up plan as we move into this new paradigm.

For the price of a pizza a month anyone can afford cryonics.

At least as long as we still have money.
