The following explanation is sorely missing from the explanations in the P2P
Social Currency Model:
Someone who put 10M joules into producing some product (let's call him Tom)
will get that energy back not from the person who buys the product (let's
call him John), who actually pays Tom 1,000 joule tokens for the product,
but from the person who makes the food that Tom eats and/or from the person
who provides entertainment that makes life livable for Tom and/or from
whatever producer of goods and services that makes the enables (or helps to
enable) sustainable production of XYZ by Tom, and this amounts to a
generalized exchange of energy (or outflow/inflow loop) between Tom and the
entire community, not Tom and John.
You may say then what's the difference between joule tokens and money? There
is a big difference. It's highlight in the following provable propositions
that are each unique to "energy as currency" (as defined in the model) and
cannot be attained using the existing system:
1. Convert surplus energy, generated by peers and stored as common
inventory, to a new kind of currency (defined under this model as a
tokenizer of energy and information) having an absolute value in energy,
which does not increase or decrease over time.
2. Direct the flow of "money," as defined under this model (see: Model's
Axioms,) using the aforementioned new kind of currency, towards socially,
ecologically and environmentally intelligent producers of goods and
services.
3. Enable a model of the economy where in order for peers to grow their
wealth (comparatively speaking) they have to share it (by lending their
money to others.) In other words, "the more you share, the more you have."
4. Enable a model of the economy that promotes sustainable abundance in P2P
energy and minimizes the deficit/surplus mismatches between peers in both
money and energy.
