P2P Microfinance’s thousand points of light: Kiva’s Intercontinental Ballistic Visualization

Michel Bauwens

9th November 2011

Must watch, very impressive:

“What happens when 620,000 lenders fund 615,000 entrepreneurs, students, and other microfinance borrowers around the world? Five+ years of Kiva loan activity, in full color. Thanks to all the lenders, borrowers, partners, and team members who brightened this map – and helped to change lives in the process.”

   Impressive and inspiring. Just imagine what that map will look like once frictionless p2p/open money systems are in full swing – the whole planet will be ablaze.
