Timebanks operate within a capitalist democracy, so we all need to keep our day job. If you earn a living as a space planner don’t timebank that expertise. If you fix bicycles for a living, don’t timebank that skill. As a timebanker, you should joyfully share your skills, and that may be harder to do when not being paid for your commercial skills. Instead, share a skill that you developed through a hobby or volunteering.
