SEEDS

A payment platform and financial ecosystem to empower humanity and heal our planet.

Seeds: A New Currency

SEEDS’ unique protocols maintain a more stable value for Seeds. This addresses the intense volatility of many alternative currencies.

This happens by tracking demand changes and creating new Seeds to meet new demand. For example, with Bitcoin new demand is represented by an increase in the price of BTC, leading to wildly appreciating price.

Imagine borrowing BTC a few years ago. You’d have a 1000+% interest rate to pay back that 1 BTC. Seeds fixes this problem. Bitcoin, and many alternative currencies are designed like gold and stocks while Seeds are designed like national currencies.

Bitcoin = Digital Gold;

Most Other Cryptocurrencies = Better Stocks;

Seeds = Better Money

Unlike national currencies, Seeds are not created from impossible debt and exploitative interest. Instead, Seeds are created to replace destroyed currency and to meet new demand as our society grows.

Destroying Seeds

Seeds are also routinely destroyed to account for any decreases in demand.

Many services provided today could be replaced with code providing “zero marginal cost” services. Examples include, digital advertising, banking services, insurance services, escrow services, etc). SEEDS will provide these services and users pay for them by burning Seeds. These services will become more valuable as SEEDS grows, balancing growth and destroying currency to fuel the harvest.

Where the money comes from

Growth comes from transitioning away from our current financial systems – not from converting our natural and social world into money. We repurpose the incredible growth designs of our present systems to transition into new ones. Once we’ve transitioned into this new system we can evolve it however we need using a clear and direct governance process.

New Seeds go directly to reward a variety of beneficial behaviours in our society.

Doughnut Economics

An inspiring lecture about a 21. century approach towards economics. By Kate Raworth

Kate Raworth explains the ‘doughnut’ economy is based on the premise that “Humanity’s 21st century challenge is to meet the needs of all within the means of the planet. In other words, to ensure that no one falls short on life’s essentials (from food and housing to healthcare and political voice), while ensuring that collectively we do not overshoot our pressure on Earth’s life-supporting systems, on which we fundamentally depend – such as a stable climate, fertile soils, and a protective ozone layer. The Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries is a new framing of that challenge, and it acts as a compass for human progress this century.”

Sacred Economics

A revolutionary approach towards money and economics. By Charles Eisenstein

Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth.

Today, these trends have reached their extreme – but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.
