The Manna Mission Statement

in #basicincome6 years ago

This is what the Manna Project stands for. We seek to provide people with choice when it comes to money. For too long, there were no options when it came to money. Individuals were forced into a monetary system that is based upon debt. This only served to enrich those who were issuing the credit while suppressing everyone else.

Manna is a new approach. Our goal is to provide another option for people. By putting manna in the hands of people, we seek to give them some resources that are not based in debt. Providing choice is at the core of the Manna Project.

Money By the People, For the People

The Manna Vision and Mission

We, the people of the world, recognize and declare that money is a social invention which can be changed by the people according to our values.

We affirm that currencies, like any other product, service, or social institution, should be subject to people’s judgment and freedom of choice, and that the value of a currency derives from people’s perceptions and decisions about its worthiness to be regarded and used as a medium of exchange in the economy.

We have seen, historically, that currencies based on a natural resource, such as gold, create an imbalance of wealth favoring nations within whose borders such resource primarily is found, and an economic incentive to plunder by those lacking reserves of such money.

We see, today, that currencies created as issuance of debt by banks, whose mission is to gain profit by charging interest on loans, favor the accumulation of wealth by already wealthy individuals, businesses, and nations, which are preferred for access to credit over those without as much capital.

As we witness the growing scourge of inequality and its consequences, we see that the existing system is unjust and unsustainable. Recognizing and accepting the moral obligation that arises from such knowledge, we stand united in the decision to create a better alternative: a currency of conscience designed to facilitate the emergence of a more just and sustainable global economic system.

We insist that such a new currency be distributed into circulation by a democratically governed non-profit organization, according to a philanthropic mission for the benefit of all humanity, not the private gain of a few: that money itself should become a public service, and its issuance a program encouraging shared prosperity and a secure human future.

We insist that a new currency be equitable: that it shall be issued to all people as a human right, as a universal basic income to be enjoyed by all — to compensate, at least partially, for the accidents of birth and circumstances of fortune that have blessed or condemned different people and regions of the world to wealth or poverty.

Confident in the virtue and necessity of this endeavor, we commit to do everything in our power to make it a reality, to further its aims and bolster its success, through our own decisions and actions — trusting in the power of a multitude of peaceful, positive, free choices by inherently free people to change the world for the better.

The idea isso good. I have been using this for 3 weeks and I am trying to make it known in Spain. Congratulations, blockchain is the future

Unfortunately there are still many people who did'nt recognized so far that there is a problem by design in fiat money. And like you also pointed out: to use natural resources as currencies is also no option for the future.

There are thousands of blockchain projects out there but not all can claim that they still stand for the core vision of this technology. Manna can do - and it's summarized very well in this sentence: "Recognizing and accepting the moral obligation that arises from such knowledge, we stand united in the decision to create a better alternative [...]".

As Coinexplorer already announced, we will start with the elaboration and publication of profund analysis of very careful selected blockchain projects soon - and we are happy that Manna will be the first one, which will be presented on our new platform.

I like the whole distribution of wealth mission, after reading your whitepaper im left with some questions though. With a weekly distribution at what point does manna become strong enough as a currency to actually support an empoverished family. What will sustain the growth to combat inequality in this field, i’m certain the answer was there but I feel something is beyond me and im curious as to whats going to give manna the upper hand in this battle.

Blockchain is the way of the future. Times are changing even as we speak.

someday soon - i will kick this poverty in the ass - then i will be able to help more for your endeavor

I already know this is your mission but it's okay if you keep repeating it so that everyone would know what you do and what you are up to, how you are trying to save the world from poverty with manna. May God help you with this project

Great mission statement - I do hope that manna currency will fulfill all its goals and alleviate suffering and poverty that we are experiencing in this present moment.
