À propos de ce contenu audio

FairShare is on a mission to combat ever-increasing economic inequality by implementing an automatic wealth redistribution mechanism. Spearheaded by Philip Rosedale, the founder of the virtual world Second Life, this project aims to address the shortcomings of existing financial systems.

In contrast to conventional cryptocurrencies, which tend to concentrate wealth in the hands of a select few as their value appreciates over time, FairShare is engineered to maintain the stability of its currency value while simultaneously redistributing a fraction of every transaction evenly among all users. This innovative approach creates a decentralized form of basic income that distributes wealth without relying on a central authority.

According to Rosedale, the inherent nature of free markets exacerbates inequality, necessitating the establishment of a straightforward, decentralized mechanism for recirculating currency. He contends that current monetary systems, whether government-backed currencies or cryptocurrencies, exhibit a propensity to unevenly allocate money. FairShare seeks to counteract this trend by emulating natural systems where resources are distributed uniformly, much like the way water evaporates and returns as rain.

Rosedale asserts that the perpetual redistribution of funds has become a critical requirement in the face of escalating global inequality. By circumventing centralized control, Fair Share aspires to protect against manipulation and exploitation, distinguishing it from traditional monetary authorities. The ultimate objective is to establish an economic system that participants perceive as equitable both through external analysis and democratic choice.

      Digital Currency Evolution & What Lies Ahead
      Nov 7 2023

      In this podcast, Philip Rosedale discusses the concept of "fair share," a novel digital currency system designed to promote stability and equitable wealth distribution. Fair share aims to address economic inequality by adjusting the money supply and ensuring equal redistribution, with a focus on keeping wealth disparities in check. It utilizes a transaction tax and income tax to fund its basic income and recirculate money within the system. The necessity for such a system arises from disruptive changes in society, like AI, which can exacerbate wealth inequality. Fair share offers a proactive approach to create more equitable economic systems and aligns with the values of fairness, transparency, and community-based decision-making.
