Aside from semantics, the idea is that we can create a store of value for use by private citizens that eliminates the need for monetary resources and separates the citizens from the inevitable failure of fiat currencies due to fiscal malfeasance on the part of governments. The purpose of hex is to create a system that cannot possibly be infiltrated. The pin number requirement and the fact that it is randomly generated and keeps the credits within the system means eventually all monies put into the system don't ever leave because only those who have productivity credits may buy or sell with other owners of productivity credits and this eliminates much of the fraud in our system because these numbers are so exclusive as to be impossible to know without deception, hacking, or fraud, but because no monies can ever leave the system once they are a part of it that means that it is also a more equitable monetary version of global currency. The values of our fiats will fluctuate with supply and demand and the reserve currency generally sees more appreciation and maintains its value better than others.
The mechanism that prevents fraud is by design, the fact that no one may buy or sell once they've committed their funds to this system. Owners of credits will want to use those to produce more credits, and buyers of credits buy first by placing money around $1,000 per credit and once that money becomes part of the system since only buyers and sellers of people who are part of that macroeconomy this eliminates the need for monetary resources, and eliminates fraud such as counterfeiting, stealing of information which is still possible but inside of a system that cannot be diminished itself since only holders of credits may buy or sell the system is robust in that regard in the sense that rather than acting as intermediary the bank handling the credits will always keep its capital but as an intermediary in the sense that the credits cannot ever be turned back into monetary currencies it is possible that the entire world will be united under this system, and this will eliminate the need to have to worry about what our government is doing to waste our resources, cause inflation, and deflation. I think this video from the National Inflation Association explains the problem but has absolutely no power to stop the destruction of our currency.

The point of this video is to explain how deflation and inflation act simulatenously and exaccerbate each other. Since we will never stop printing money until it loses all of its value, the issue with explaining these problems and simply assuming that some rational political person could ever reverse the damage that's been done isn't possible, no matter how much they would like you to think that it is.
My solution is productivity credits, and eventually, as fiat currencies fail the dollar will collapse unfortunately inevitably because correcting past mistakes is not possible and the government is directly responsible for this.
Putting the world's economy into a unified global currency will help in so many ways, and aside from being apocalypitc, anyone who owns paper dollars or any currency for that matter won't be worth a cent because all of them will fail, and even commodity based producing countries will fail eventually too because they will run out of resources. So what's left? United Global Currency in the form of productivity credits that has no need for backing by government entities like the FDIC, SIPC, or from segregation as in the case of a clearinghouse.
This system operates as a kind of clearinghouse and in order to trade you must have at least as many productivity credits as the other person in order to ensure both sides of the trades can make good on their fiscal promises.
When global society recognizes the need for substantative reform of the monetary system, there is too much entrenchment to ever get rid of currencies like the dollar, yuan, yen, etc.
Since every currency has value only to the extent that they are strictly limited in supply the requirement of only accepting productivity credits and not cash means the system will be able to support itself and start a new currency system that should unite us.
As far as saving the dollar the US Government will default and has already defaulted. Why the dollar should be worth as much as it is is the fact that proportionally our dollars printed were printed at a rate that even though it is higher than historical standards other countries have flooded their markets with too many dollars and while their currencies might see some benefit from induced inflation the reality is that only productivity credits will be able to solve our monetary problems because far from being an instrument of corruption the use of these should become mainstream as more people find that they will become unable to buy or sell anything without them.
