Fluidity at DIF2015
Fluidity at DIF2015
fluidity
Puts billions of pounds of toxic material into the air, water, and soil every year
Produces materials so dangerous they will require constant vigilance by future
generations
etc.
Cradle to Cradle, Braungart & McDonough 2008
These can all be addressed through a single system - the largest one
we share: the economy
5
It is to transform it
GDP currently measures activity,
not benefit
Transform the currency and you
transform the economy
6
Gearing
Each transaction in the system has has two components:
Fluidity + National currency
The Fluidity currency is geared to the national currency
This ratio used is the Gearing Ratio
Gearing ratio is set by the seller (allowing innovation)
Buyers receive credits at little or no cost
Buyers save money by using Fluidity
Sellers make money by using Fluidity to increase business
and leverage higher income
Only products and services with higher embodied
circularity can participate
12
Accumulation
There is something else you can do
with a digital currency:
You spend 10 credits, the seller receives 11
credits. An auto generated increase.
This provides organic growth of the system
and rewards participation
This is the Accumulation Ratio
It is set by the governing agency
13
Evaporation
Another feature to accelerate circularity
outcomes
Money is more valuable to the whole when it
moves faster (velocity)
Incentivise velocity by reducing the value of
stagnant credits, along a curve
This feature is Evaporation
Evaporation and other factors can be adjusted
by sector, region, time and other conditions
14
Big Data
Fluidity provides a vast number of data
These are not just read-only data
They are hands onto the economy
Suddenly we are no longer blind operators of the
most powerful machine on Earth
16
17
Wealth defined as the ability to obtain the things you need and desire
As innovative uses of credits are found, cash + credit incomes increase
beyond the baseline
The new momentum drives the transition to the circular economy
18
Summary
The more inclusive an ecosystem, the more
beyond sum gains realised
The intelligent economy is the
collaborative economy
The system will only get smarter
There is nothing to stop us from greatly
accelerating circularity
We should do that
