Problem Statement
The T-bond system was designed in the mid-1860s by some involved with the Bank of England. It was designed as a financial slavery system. Slaves were revolting in the 1860s and the various players and bankers were trying to figure out how to keep the slaves oblivious while feeding and housing themselves. Thus, Treasury bonds were invented.
Solution
Essentially, all financial transactions can be described as:
One promise for another.
Did each side deliver?
That is called âPromise Languageâ and is a protocol I designed about 5 years ago.
Only living beings can make promises.
Effects
Will lower transaction costs due to common protocol. Encourages all to deliver on their promises. Eventually will end warfare (nearly all war is due to broken promises). Eventually will solve environmental issues.
Allows the individual to be their own central bank. Economies of scale will maintain existing currencies and encourage central banks to back their currency with something of tangible value. This could be gold or silver or land or the manufacturing output of a country.
Costs
Nearly non-existent. A protocol is free. A website publishing the protocol would be of minimal cost.
Implementation
A few days at a retail organization that handles damaged goods and returns would effectively test the protocol to handle any financial transaction imaginable.
