Space Cash - What Is It?

No matter how much we pay respect to the narrator, money is extant - it is not going to disappear, especially if everything can be made for almost nothing. Get past this observation, concede it and you're ready to read on. 

Let us say Space Cash will emerge as the common means of exchange and common measure of value, in the new realm of space once it has been colonised sufficiently.

And space is unbounded, not infinite, meaning it still has invisible boundaries. There are artificial boundaries necessitating the continued use of money. Yes, it will look different but will not be different fundamentally in this context.

These unbounded yet latent limits are put there by the value associated with the best locations, even in space. These are the limited locations where the most wealth is being created, just as they are on earth. Nothing at all has changed that matters. All thats happened is that space has improved the currently available land - which is the unbounded limit of space, so that it now commands a rent. 

The staggering new levels of rent now available is where the extra wealth can be created above the marginal locations, where no one can afford to startup yet. But soon these sub marginal locations will come into use as the margin moves out to the less fertile locations - think of a city as it grows where the green belt is pretty but useless in economic terms, suddenly coming into use attracting a large rental value. 

The reason money will still be required is this:

Since we can assign no limits to the progress of invention, neither can we offer any limits to the increase of rent — short of the entire output. If wealth could be obtained without labor, there would be no use for either labor or capital. Nor would there be any possible way either could demand any share of the wealth produced.

So the only way you can keep sharing the wealth justly, is through exchanges. And while exchanges are still being made, money is the most efficient way of doing it. Yes, there will still be people stealing money. But if there were no money, people would just steal the things that money buys, but less efficiently. Should we abolish money and huge productivity gains just because people still want to steal?

And because rent will be charged for exclusive access to produce huge new amounts of wealth in these valuable space locations, the goods and services produced there will be embedded with that rent in their price. Thus commanding a price to be paid for their purchase - in money as Space Cash. If you object then tell me how the best locations will be distributed if not by their rental value? By state administration like in Greenland today? And if you disagree the rent is embedded in all goods and services are the tenants refusing to pay it and getting away with that?!

Nothing will ever be free unless blind buyers are the product. A universal high income can only happen when earned incomes are high relative to rent and taxation - let us pray for that! It may be true that one day no one will need to work as hard as they used to for this high income. But everyone will still have to work to pay the rent, else who will be able to pay it except the Lord. And then you will be his slave. Is that what you want in space?

Part of the remedy is the advent of Space Cash. Money really almost the same as its always been. Historically cash has always been issued by 2 general players:

  1. The state - as central bank money which most people see and feel as paper and metal
  2. The private sector - as private bank money which most people today see as debit and credit money

Both kinds have their root source at the central bank. Private banks are allowed to issue their own money so long as they don't overcook the books. Yes, they always do in the end. And theres no telling if using space cash it will still not proceed. Again this can all be handled. If can be fixed too using the old methods but will the price be too high?

Space Cash needs to have following features:

  • ultra-scale - billions of transaction pers second, making it possible to meet the demands of the unbounded new lands
  • use a public ledger - to assure the crooks can be traced and followed, including the state crooks, do not worry this can be achieved with much better privacy than before using cryptographic techniques already soak tested
  • be token based - for much better security, it will be token based not account based. Account based banking is a litany of money laundering and identity theft where an entire banks user account base cannot be stolen. Let us put an end to that with tokens and wallets
I will write more about Space Cash soon, once I've had feedback and clarifications have been made here. 

Go Well.

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...
