@sofias martis: The regional currencies are useful for the exchange of SERVICES and goods produced in the region. A system of global exchange of local complementary currencies that is not centralized (controlled by any central entity or group of people, like the current nation-state system is) would allow for the parallel system to do exchanges worldwide and thus stabilize the REAL ECONOMY worldwide. It is true that in the past complementary currencies have been supressed by nation-states.

however a global decentralized currency is a much greater thread to states, and therefore has been and will be opressed much more strongly… but that's another topic.
i really don't see the advantage of the regional limitaton. the 'vicious circle' you show looks more like the perservation of poverty, caused by lacking global solidarity and trade barriers. limiting the money regionally doesn't seem to tackle any of these problems.
i think the main advantage of non-statist currencies is the absence of statist extortion (taxes, tolls, inflation) and control.
also: moneta.org is parked, i guess it has already ceased to exist :(
