Do you think you have a healthy relationship with money?\xa0

It\u2019s true that money can\u2019t buy happiness. However, it does give us the security and stability we need as humans to better pursue it. So let\u2019s take a look at the process of distributing money, our relationship with the government, and how we can improve it.

Money as a Social Construct

Why is money valuable? It\u2019s only because we decide it is. In the past, we\u2019ve turned to other stores of value to determine what we should use as a currency. We\u2019ve used glass beads, salt, and even speckled granite.

So, who has the power to control our money\u2014and by extension, an important aspect of our society? By virtue of our inaction, that responsibility falls in the hands of central bankers. The problem is that this has become the reflection of a society\u2019s worth. Regardless of where you are from, someone else is in charge of controlling the flow of money.\xa0

But with TARTLE, we have the power to invert that model. You decide how much your information is worth, and no one else.

How Does Liquidity Affect Us?

It\u2019s like a dam: when somebody controls the flow of a certain asset, then it affects its liquidity and volatility. Someone is manufacturing demand and supply for it. This makes people feel like they constantly have to be on guard, in case there are market changes that affect their standing.

With TARTLE, the liquidity of data is instantaneous.\xa0

With TARTLE, you don\u2019t have to worry about running out of information. Regardless of whether you are a buyer or a seller, information is being created every single day. It\u2019s not valuable because you have to bulk up ahead of a shortage in supply. It\u2019s valuable because inherently, information is power. There is no reason to act in fear or to try to pre-empt anything because everybody has all the information and opportunity they need to participate. And there is no limitation to the amount of information you can have\u2014especially on TARTLE.

What Does Trust Have to Do With It?

The younger generation does not trust the government. Alexander McCaig clarifies that he isn\u2019t trying to create a problem with this statement. There\u2019s no need to open a new government or anything drastic. The reality is just that people want choice\u2014and when their work has been devalued, they will merely find the path of least resistance. Better options to fund a good quality of life.

When the government is asking its citizens to place its trust in the dollar, it\u2019s asking them to have faith in the market even if they do not have all of the facts. To let them control it for you.\xa0

\xa0

But trust implies that both sides are open with their decision-making, and transparent about everything.\xa0

Closing Thoughts

Everybody deserves a platform where their personal autonomy, capacity for choice, and need for consent are respected. A marketplace built on transparent reciprocity, where everyone is rewarded for their hard work.
