For 300 years 1492 – April 2, 1792 the USA thrived without currency. How?
Dec. 23, 1913 we went from interest free citizen owned currency called “Green backs” to interest laden privately owned currency with mathematically unpayable interest. Our standard of living has steadily declined since then. The major difference between a $20 bill and $20 of monopoly money is your very strong and unshakeable belief, in “fiat value.”
Our solution to provide the resources and labor to turn Heroes into Superheroes is to bring you back to those 300 years where the only currency was sweat and honor. We record and share your sweat and honor on a public ledger. Worthless pirate coins called “loonies” are used on the ledger to trade fun and adventure for honor.
Heroes born with any special power such as Down syndrome, spina bifida or autism can be turned into super Heroes!
A vocational group home under construction on the shores of Lake Lanier is the laboratory where a magic potion of fun, virtue, altruism and just a sprinkle of the dark arts of capitalism are mixed together to transform Heroes into Super Heroes!
Hello, my name is Alan Kindree and I am the CEO of the Atlanta Volunteers.
I am going to explain how this magic potion called “fiat value” works. You will also learn how you can be part of a community owned, crowd sourced TV series that tells the story of 30 heroes born with special powers turned into real life super heroes.
First, from the dark dirty arts of capitalism here are some examples of “fiat value.”
You wake up one morning, kiss your lovely wife Penny good bye and on your way to work you see Cameron and give him $20 to cut your grass. After Cameron finishes the grass he gives the $20 to a barber named Bob for a hair cut. After the hair cut Bob gives $20 to Sally to wash his car. After washing Bobs car Sally gives $20 to your wife Penny for the basket of apples she just picked. Sally makes several apple pies and sells them for $40 and your wife Penny has your original $20.
While you were at work your grass was cut, Cameron got a hair cut, Bob got a car wash, your wife has your original $20 and did Sally get $20 or $40 richer? There was $100 in transactions minus the expenses and you have your original $20 back while new money was created for Sally. While you were at work that $20 may have created more value than you did at work and now your wife waves that same $20 in your face and says it is hers.
The next day you put this valuable $20 in the bank and you earn 2 cents for the interest and are told that is the right thing to do to grow your money.
One more example. For a Mardi Gras parade you buy 100 strands of beads for about 25 cents each. People at the parade will sing, dance and do almost anything to have beads thrown at them.
You could throw a dollar on the ground during the parade and nothing would happen except that you lose your dollar. But the beads have an unbelievable fiat value. At work the next day you could pay the Mardis Gras revelers $20 to get just as silly but you would probably end up with a slap and a trip to the HR department.
You can see why fiat value is known as the dark arts of capitalism. The Atlanta Volunteers lists a variety of nonprofits on our website. When you donate to any of the nonprofits they altruistically get 100% of your donation. Our software gives you a reward point called a “Loony” for every 25 cents you donate to any nonprofit. A loony has no actual value, but are you creative or fun enough to give it fiat value?
When us pirates playfully create fiat value we call it “catfishing.” Our pirate themed catfishing tournament is where creatives battle consumers and the biggest booty wins.
In short, loonies are like tickets you get at a state fair to have fun, food and an adventure with purpose.
In our vocational group home laboratory, you can help us mix together a potion of fun, virtue, altruism and fiat value so you can “Get Loony” and turn Heroes into Super Heroes!
We have two ways to make loonies more valuable than real dollars. The first is called a “Volunteer Coupon”. It is used by consumers for discounts, products and volunteerism. The second is called an “Epiphany”. It is used by creatives for art, sports, music and media production.
Examples of volunteer coupons would be “Donate 1$ (4 loonies) get $2 off, Upgrade medium fries to large 1 loony, Get your car washed for 20 loonies, Used bicycle for 300 loonies.
Volunteer coupons display a receipt on your phone. This receipt contains more information than a bar code and yet does not require the use of a scanner. Just by seeing the receipt, the author of the volunteer coupon knows the transaction is complete. Your loonies are in their account and a public ledger has been made and can be checked with one click,
Examples of epiphanies would be Darts for 50 loonies, Sing a sea shanty for 35 loonies, I will race you for 50, bet 100 loonies on the braves. (since loonies have no redeemable value, you can legally bet with them just like you were using monopoly money) Epiphanies contain a barter widget and the ability to collaborate on social media production.
