BENEFITS OF VERACOIN™, 

VERASHARES  & VERA CITY

    In order to compete with the “energy companies”, there needs to be an economic force equivalent to a taxing authority which is able to amass funds significant enough to be a major player in the energy future.  Since the fossil fuel purveyors are already on the path to monopolizing the emerging alternative energy sources with the “windfall profits” from the inflation of fuel prices at the pumps, a countervailing economic force is essential. 

      The potential for VeraCoin™ to accumulate risk capital for investment in renewable energy utilizing VeraShares is immense.  With a membership base of just one hundred million subscribers, each agreeing to convert just fifty dollars per month into VeraCoin™, a risk capital investment pool of about nine billion dollars per year from the set aside for VeraShares will be amassed.  A sum that will make the Vera City community (residence?) real players in a renewable energy future.  

     The one hundred million user base example above is similar to the number of PayPal users.  PayPal reached its present level of over a hundred million users in fifteen years.  The ultimate objective for Vera City is to attract a membership base equal to or greater than Facebook's one billion plus members; at that level the risk capital accumulation could approach a hundred billion dollars oer year; Facebook reached one billion users in just nine years.

      The capital amassed can be used to invest in micro renewable energy technology, along with energy conversion at the community level within a culture of conservation, seeking a low or a zero carbon footprint.  It has been determined that energy conservation and energy efficiency are the most economical sources of new energy.  

     There is potential to produce many new jobs by utilizing the accumulated VeraShares capital, in conjunction with the collective human capital of the members, to crowd source and develop ways of investing in energy conservation, energy saved is energy earned (“A penny saved, is a penny earned”).

    It has recently been shown that solar will be cheaper than fossil fuels in ten years, therefore installation of solar collectors will present an investment opportunity for our member communities.   This will provide local jobs and opportunities, while wresting the control and influence over the energy market away from the de facto international oil cartel.  

FURTHER POTENTIAL INVESTMENTS

       Another area of investment also capable of lowering the community’s carbon footprint is to establish local vertical agriculture structures within cities and towns.   Vertical agriculture represents the sustainable agriculture of the future; recent developments in perfecting LED grow lights are making this form of agriculture economically feasible.  Vertical agriculture systems are being developed that provide a water conservation loop which feeds fish, then circulating the nutrients into the agricultural production, resulting in clean water using natural processes to feed back into the fish tanks.  

      With innovations to solve third world problems like the toilet technology for sanitation developed through the Bill Gates initiative, along with other technologies in energy production, the cities of the industrialized world's future will be transformed, releasing resources no longer needed from the infrastructure so that the buildings of the past will be the materials for the cities of the future.  Anticipating this trend the members of Vera City will be at the forefront of building the cities of the future.

     As a byproduct of facilitating local economic activity, VeraCoin™ and Vera-City.net will be a catalyst for building social capital as the diverse communities come together to assist each other.  The new economy will be driven by collaboration, using open source and group sourcing to speed up the experiment towards discovering innovations that work in order to swiftly incorporate them into our communities.  

OTHER ECONOMIC BENEFITS

     Collectively members will have the power to negotiate for favorable health insurance rates, or to even self insure.  VeraCoin™ will also support a health and wellbeing industry of its own that will mitigate the need for “healthcare” services.  The collective power of the Vera City membership will also provide the clout to buy inventory and shipping services at favorable discounts allowing business members the ability to compete with major corporations.

     Side by side with the risk capital amassed from discounting VeraCoin™ for the VeraShares, a community of a hundred million members converting six hundred dollars per year into VeraCoin™ will generate a complementary currency system with a circulation of sixty billion VeraCoin™ per year, with a dollar reserve of fifty billion dollars; many times that if their are up to a billion members.  

     With a multiplier effect on the local economy of ten, as VeraCoin™ circulates in the local economies worldwide, the proposed scheme will produce a six hundred billion dollar economy.  As time passes and the membership grows the potential is in the trillions of dollars; especially if you account for the potential from the dollars held in reserve, a portion of which can be lent to business members for community vetted enterprises.

      There are also tax advantages for the Vera City business members, the value of $0.85 for the VeraCoin/dollar conversion is the real taxable value of all transactions in VeraCoin™, even though members agree to accept them at the same value as a dollar.

Ø     Supports a share economy

Ø     Generates funds for local capital investments

Ø     Promotes a broad distribution of capital so that more people are vested in the future wealth generation

Ø     Provides a means for members to negotiate favorable terms on health insurance, inventory, and shipping among just a few.
