Pantrypoints It’s a points-based economic system that implements the grain-based valuation proposal of Adam Smith in “The Wealth of Nations”.

Pantrypoints It’s based on selfishness. This leads to a growing gap between the rich and the poor.

Pantrypoints

The increase of poor people leads to crime, malnutrition, low-intellect, unemployment, overcrowding in cities where the poor gather to find work, etc. These affect everyone, even the rich.

Poverty increases during economic crises, like the current global inflation.

Pantrypoints Pantrypoints deploys a points-based economic system as an “Economy-as-a-Service”. This service facilitates moneyless “barter-credits” as an alternative to money so that you have an option to either buy with money or purchase with points.

Pantrypoints Money is expensive. It needs to be printed or stored in vaults, and guarded and carried in your pocket. It loses value because of inflation. Credit cards are liable to fraud, fees, and interest rates. Money supply is ultimately controlled by banks, not by people, as explained by Jeremy Grantham:

Pantrypoints Of course. Points are stored online or on paper-cards that cannot be used by third parties. It does not need expensive vaults nor ATMs. The value of each point is pegged to 1 kilogram of rice which ‘inflates’ far less than money. With Pantrypoints, you can go to a store and buy things on barter-credit by relying on the trust between you and the seller.

We have been using the system since 2017 to reduce our money expenses as we establish our startup. So it already works.

Historically, it was used in a large scale by the Inca Empire, Khmer Empire, Arabia, the Mongols, and most countries before they were colonized by the Europeans who imposed the use of money.

Pantrypoints The value is based on the common or usual price of grains, not their price during crises.

Pantrypoints They are administered by a points-banker. He checks if the points match the real productivity of the people who claim to produce such points.

Pantrypoints No. The points work side by side with money to circulate value. This is similar to mobile data working side by side with wifi. You can cboose between money or points just as you can choose between connecting to the internet by wifi or by mobile data. The points are for people you know. Money is for people you don’t know.

Pantrypoints The government can earn a points-tax per transaction which can be claimed as the goods and services of the person taxed. In this way, Pantrypoints becomes an employment system as well.

Pantrypoints No. There will be private versions that businesses can use for operations. For example, it can be used to give points to employees so that the business can save on cash. We call this Pantrypreneur which will have its own machine learning system called ISAIAH.

Pantrypoints Each country’s Pantrypoints will be connected to others through Pool Clearing.

Pantrypoints

It’s a trade system proposed by British ecoonmist EF Schumacher wherein the trading countries act as one pool. The members of the pool constantly coordinate with each other to make world trade efficient.

This is very different from the current world trade system established by Bretton Woods wherein the United States has a superior position and the US dollar is the international reserve currency. In Pool Clearing, the price of grains is the common measure.
