I’ve been interested in micro investment ever since my teen years, when I thought it should be legal for people to invest in my assorted schemes. In 1993, to this aim, I created the unsuccessful website Premises, Premises. Last year I wrote about Cultural Speculation and Crowdfunded Securities as a guestblogger for boingboing.
