From the Ted Talk by Rachel Botsman: The currency of the new economy is trust
Unscramble the Blue Letters
Now at the end of my tea with Sebastian, he told me how, on a bad, rainy day, when he hasn't had a csmeoutr in his bookstore, he thinks of all the people around the world who've said something wonderful about him, and what that says about him as a person. He's turning 50 this year, and he's convinced that the rich tapestry of reputation he's built on Airbnb will lead him to doing something inteetsirng with the rest of his life.
You know, there are only a few windows in history where the opportunity esxits to reinvent part of how our soocionemicoc system works. We're liinvg through one of those moments. I believe that we are at the start of a collaborative revolution that will be as significant as the Industrial Revolution. In the 20th ctuenry, the invention of traditional credit transformed our consumer system, and in many ways controlled who had ascecs to what. In the 21st century, new trust noetrkws, and the reputation catpial they generate, will reinvent the way we think about wealth, markets, power and personal identity, in ways we can't yet even imagine. Thank you very much. (auppslae) (Applause)

Now at the end of my tea with Sebastian, he told me how, on a bad, rainy day, when he hasn't had a customer in his bookstore, he thinks of all the people around the world who've said something wonderful about him, and what that says about him as a person. He's turning 50 this year, and he's convinced that the rich tapestry of reputation he's built on Airbnb will lead him to doing something interesting with the rest of his life.
You know, there are only a few windows in history where the opportunity exists to reinvent part of how our socioeconomic system works. We're living through one of those moments. I believe that we are at the start of a collaborative revolution that will be as significant as the Industrial Revolution. In the 20th century, the invention of traditional credit transformed our consumer system, and in many ways controlled who had access to what. In the 21st century, new trust networks, and the reputation capital they generate, will reinvent the way we think about wealth, markets, power and personal identity, in ways we can't yet even imagine. Thank you very much. (Applause) (Applause)
