The Venus Project is on Steemit

Greetings Steemit community,

We at The Venus Project are pleased to be joining this innovative social space and group of people. With a growing subscriber base of more than 300,000 on our social media pages, we wish to utilize a platform such as Steemit for further community-building and engagement.

In this post we would like to start with a brief introduction, and over time we will gradually provide the community with more information about the social direction we propose.

The Venus Project seeks to solve the world’s major problems of poverty, disease, suffering, environmental pollution, war, lack of access to education, and many others, by initiating the transition to a new socio-economic system called a Resource Based Economy.

To test how well the proposed new system will work, The Venus Project works towards the realization of an experimental city. The city will be a hub for research in science and technology, to work on solutions for the global problems faced by all human beings. The city’s population will also be working on a second city, and then on more to come, until all people can be housed and live in this very different kind of environment that the new cities will provide.

With the proposed new system, Resource Based Economy, also come a new way of thinking and values. We will be presenting them to you here, through writings, images, lectures, interviews, documentaries, and any other means of spreading new ideas.

We welcome your participation.

Great to see The Venus Project on new platforms! As a new user myself and as a long time volunteer, it is also great to see so many people here welcoming to the community. I hope that these type of online communities and mechanisms will help us bring about a Resource Based Economy sooner.

Thank you to all that are supporting or just interested in the project!

I'm so glad to see you making it to our platform! I still remember talking to the founder of the Venus Project a few years ago about Bitshares... I guess he is now becoming fully aware of the potential such a powerful platform has as Steemit is its little brother.

Welcome aboard, all for one and one for all! Namaste :)

The community is seeing potentials in the technology and this is really our first foray into blockchains. We are looking forward to share more details and keep a discussion going in regards to the technology in part of TVP's vision and other various topics of interest. Thank you @eric-boucher. We will see you around!

One of my lovers requested an interview with Fresco about Bitcoin a while back and he didn't seem very excited, it didn't get done, don't remember why. I looked up later on whether he had said anything about the technology since and couldn't find a mention. I got a big smile on my face when I saw this because maybe I can get his attention now.

Sir, I've watched some some of your videos so I can tell you are a wise man. This is your opportunity to become even wiser, please look into blockchain technology. You are correct, it makes no sense to have an unlimited vehicle for the exchange of limited resources. We can calculate the resources at our disposal enough to create better administrations, transparent, efficient, sustainable...we can have accountability and most of it can be automated. We can survive, we have the means, now it's just a matter of selling it.

More people listen to you than you can imagine

Bitcoins has flaws that can't be dealt with within the system, that is why the makers of Bitcoins have invented Bitshares and, later on Steem! The advent of Stealth and Bitshares combined together will make it as anonymous as it can possibly be, once and for all. Maybe you also might be interested in VivaCoins as well, which might suit the system found where you are even more!?

All for one and one for all! Namaste :)

When I said bitcoin I meant the concept, and that includes the concept of a limited supply which is not true of Steem. Not hating on Steem, but it can't represent the resources on earth because there is no limit to it. Bitcoin has flaws, I like Dash better, but Steem is a good start. Does viva have a limited supply? Is it PoW? Is there any governance?

Enjoy! This is a link to today's latest news on the matter and it also includes the white paper. So far, the most powerful platform I have came across in the world of digital currencies. Al for one and one for all! Namaste :)

Check this out, you can win Steem and trail coins for welcoming new Steemians, it is a nice post hard fork project

YES!! So happy to welcome @thevenusproject to Steemit, I've been a fan and admirer of Jacque Fresco's work and philosophy ever since the days of Peter Joseph's first Zeitgeist movie! :)

@Sebcamtv and I had even been in contact with Roxanne about finding you in Florida to volunteer in any way we could. Back then the impulsiveness was strong lol, however today the will to see a resource based economy successfully accommodating humanity is still as strong.

Now the ideas of a managing a resource based economy backed by an open source block-chain ledger, such as steemit.. wow this is literally mind blowing, ever expanding limitless potential!

I'm very excited to dive back into learning about your ideas and what you will share here. With so many intelligent, free minded, forward thinking, sovereign, libertarian and voluntarism minded people here. I can't wait to see what forward motion comes from this!

Wholeness.

Thanks you @kenistyles for the warm welcome and enthusiasm in the project. Indeed the technology and ways that communities can be built in support of each other would improve the livelihood of future generations. Looking forward to be conversing with you again soon!

Blockchain will have great contribution to projects and societies like the Venus Project and many other alike around the globe. The twelve tribes of israel will also benefit greatly from blockchain.

Applied technologies are great when put to good use improve the livelihood of people. Thanks @obeagu

Oh my goodness. I can't believe you guys are here. Best wishes to Jacque and Roxanne and the entire team. And a BIG THANK YOU for AaaaaaaaaaaLL your help. You guys are all AMAAAAAAAAZING. I spoke to Jacque on the phone and Roxanne as well and it was just lovely hearing from both of them. Anyway, glad you're here. All the best. We all hope for a better future for all humankind 😊 Love you guys a LOOOOOOOOOOOT! 😊 Safe 😊

Awesome to see TVP join up here! I remember seeing a bit on it a while back, but going through some more now! I'm a huge fan in finding other methods to allowing 'ideal societies' to work.

If I get time tomorrow, I'm going to bring this up on the @steemittalk podcast. I'd love to have a TVP rep on the show in the future if you guys would enjoy that sort of thing.

Fantastic, really great news, Welcome :) Looking forward to read your posts and debate great ideas!
All the Best and Happy 101st Birthday to our most honorable Monsieur Jacques Fresco :)
Followed and Resteemed!

Thank you for the warm welcome @unusualconcept. While there isn't any message / chat functionalities on this platform yet, feel free to drop any feature requests and suggestions.

Busy.org is also based on the same blockchain as Steemit, which is called Steem. The same feed with different looks and a few changes, one of them is a chat. It looks more similar to Facebook, less of a learning curve, you already have an account there.

Welcome to Steemit! As an architect and urban planner, I'm looking forward to learning more about your unique approach to city-making. Great to have you here! (Followed and resteemed.)

Thanks for the welcome @voronoi. We look forward to bouncing off ideas with the community and it's great having many enthusiastic and passionate members around here.

I'd love to see us stop building across but do it up and down instead, maybe a combination? Can't keep covering the land with cement. Depending on the climate we can decide to build up or down, I'd love to see a reverted skyscraper. Look into earthbags, that's an interesting technique, very lasting.

Excited to see you guys progress, welcome!

We are excited too. Thank you!

Welcome this is truly wonderful for the platform and I hope you are happy with the engagement you have received, I can see you are already building a following and are off to a flying start, I've been watching out for your ideas for quite the while, I have to say I was very happy to see the new movie, with the exception of the "no emotion" part which I ave to say I was really expecting to come out sooner or later, too much technology can be a bane and we are already abusing technology as a species.

I like your ideas very much and the vision portrayed, I hope we get to build that "future" sooner rather than when, the resources are already squandered, I doubt a resource based economy could work without trust and commitment, we are long overdue for a change in our mentality, with all the wars and media noise going around the globe, I'm not sure we will make something as worthwhile as what your founder has envisioned :) maybe not in this lifetime :D, but I would like to see some floating cities, that shouldn't be so hard to achieve :)

In conclusion, Welcome!
I hope this chain serves you, I look forward to seeing posts from you, if you are willing to take the time, I hope you fit well in here and I hope you continue spreading and receiving the love :) nice to see good posts trending and spreading, with the added benefit of actually responding to the comments, I'm very glad indeed.

Cheers ! :)
Best of luck!
