GreedCoin is our totally objective and devastatingly accurate nickname for existing types of currency traded globally – and, by extension, the global financial system itself.

We call it this for two reasons:

  1. it can be accumulated in arbitrarily high amounts for absolutely no good reason at all (and often for very bad reasons)
  2. you can easily end up without any at all, or even negative amounts of it (debt), even if you did nothing wrong, and even though you have to have it to survive. The board game “Monopoly” was invented specifically to demonstrate how unfair and unsustainable this is – but even “Monopoly” is more fair than real life, in that every player gets a bit of cash whenever they make it around the board.

Basically, it was created solely for the interests of the powerful – which are increasingly at odds with the needs of the rest of humanity.

Template:l/pub was created to overcome these fundamental problems.
