A simple idea to show "where does money come from" : FreiheiTrade [1 minute read]

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Let's imagine that exists a particular instrument that is called FreiheiTrade, and works as follows:

You bring a product to FreiheiTrade; this product is valued by a network of experts, and you get in exchange a certain amount of FreiheitDollars. The experts receive a small percentage of the FreiheitDollars to reward their service.

Then you can spend your FreiheitDollars to buy items and services brought by other people, at the price set by the experts, also if your product is still unsold.

If an object is not sold within 1 year, than the experts have to buy it.

This "FreiheitDollar" would be a pure form of money:

a) is a unit of measure of value.
b) does not have an intrinsic value, and is reproducible at no cost.
c) it is not a good backup of value: that is, there is no advantage waiting to spend the currency on the market.

To fulfill the need for credit, a viable option could be giving the opportunity to sell goods and services that will be available in the future.
In this case the experts would naturally assign a lower value to the products, so it could be a good deal to buy them in advance.

Besides being a good way to explain how a "pure money" would look like, this could probably be a nice idea: what do you think ?

Now...Where can I get some FreiheitTrade?

Great. Let's get some FreiheitTrade and keep the ball rolling!
