SEEDS Roadmap to Globally Regenerative Economies

Story for the Seeds currency

• “Finance the Change” - align your value with your values
• Seeds as a currency is an audacious and risky hedge/bet/investment with a long journey ahead of us to travel. These high risks are compensated with a potentially high increase in the value of the Seeds currency as we progress towards Go Live.
• Most people are buying and holding Seeds and participate in the movement in a myriad of other ways beyond spending Seeds as a currency.
• As with any early stage venture, it is highly advised to not invest more than you’re willing to lose. If you’re not happy with seeing your Seeds purchase as a donation towards experimenting with creating regenerative economic systems, then please don’t purchase Seeds. Please don’t convert your whole savings into Seeds (as some have said they’ve done) causing you to need to continue to sell Seeds daily to convert to fiat to meet your needs. SEEDS is far too immature for radical moves like this. While we all expect there will be a significant pay off should SEEDS succeed, it is still highly speculative at this stage..
• The largest movement of Seeds is coming from the SEEDS accounts (Campaigns, Alliances, Referrals) and moving towards the regenerators of SEEDS, distributing and decentralizing value as more folks join.

Intended optimal financial behaviours

1. Selling Seeds is detrimental to the ecosystem during this early formative phase.
2. Acquire (earning and buying) Seeds and hold/Plant them - Plant Seeds before the 30% bonus for planted Seeds cutoff date. Planting before this date is an optimal move for long-term commitment.
3. Preference to use a currency that’s losing value (e.g. central bank notes) to meet your needs, over a currency that’s gaining value (Seeds).
4. Hold onto the Seeds you’ve earned/purchased so that they can maximally appreciate in value (to redistribute the most value possible) before looking to spend them, or convert them to central bank currency.

Movement building focus

1. Building and structuring the SEEDS Public DHO’s
2. Supporting the Seeds Sale (not circulation) to provide funding for Public DHO’s (each DHO with their own focus) for DHO members to meet their needs with money obtained through the Seeds Sale
3. Networking with other ecosystems and forming and funding alliances (alliance requests) aiming for high-impact and generative partnerships (lowest hanging fruit and most aligned/largest communities first)
4. Running campaigns for distributing a relatively small number of Seeds to a broad number of people as invites for rewarding regenerative behaviours (working with our allies to invite their communities)

Proposal financing & funding focus

Which proposals are we able to fund? Those intended to provide:

1. The greatest regenerative impact
2. A small number of Seeds to a wide number people, through Invite Campaigns
3. Regeneration specifically by not needing to trade Seeds for central bank currencies to do so alliance shares for allied organisations within SEEDS (to give them some deferred Seeds to have as a stake in SEEDS’ success and/or some value to back their project tokens with)

Primary funding sources for transitioning wealth

Focus specifically on individuals buying Seeds at this stage as it comes with the greatest risk and also greatest upside. If SEEDS succeeds this will result in a massive redistribution and generation of wealth for those early adopters taking on the risk and providing the most support in these early stages. This provides the greatest upside directly to the people of SEEDS (as opposed to giving the greatest upside to institutions or funds). Focus on where the most value for SEEDS’ financial growth and liquidity may come from:

1. Individual regenerators buying small amounts of Seeds

Story for the Seeds currency

• “Own the Change” - a way to put your value where your values are.
• Seeds as a currency is beginning to show itself as a viable alternative. We’ve worked out many of the most pressing and foundational protocols. The high risk of success has diminished moderately (though still quite risky). Risk is still compensated with a potentially significant increase in the value of the Seeds currency as we progress towards Go-Live.
• Most people are buying and still holding Seeds and participate in the movement in a myriad of other ways beyond spending Seeds as a currency.
• The largest movement of Seeds is coming from the SEEDS accounts (Campaigns, Alliances, Referrals) and moving towards the regenerators of SEEDS, distributing and decentralising value.
• Likely answer to “what can I buy with Seeds?” “Not much right now, the focus is on creating the foundations for a regenerative economy, not necessarily on using Seeds as a medium of exchange. That shift happens after Go-Live. The best move with your Seeds now is to just hold on to them and support the activities highlighted in Landmark 3do other things to help the movement progress.”

Intended optimal financial behaviours

1. Acquire (earning and buying) Seeds and hold/Plant them
2. Preference to use a currency that’s losing value (e.g. central bank notes) to meet your needs, over a currency that’s gaining value (Seeds)
3. Hold onto the Seeds you’ve earned/purchased so that they can maximally appreciate in value (to redistribute the most value possible) before looking to spend them, or convert them to central bank currency

Movement building focus

Minimum Viable Public DHO’s formed for each of the main organs (Storytelling, Tech, Movement Building, Research, Sense-making and reacting to ecosystem needs, etc). Focus remains to:

1. Supporting the Seeds Sale (not circulation) to provide funding for Public DHO’s (each DHO with their own focus) for DHO members to meet their needs with money obtained through the Seeds Sale
2. Networking with other ecosystems and forming/funding alliances
3. Running campaigns for distributing a relatively small number of Seeds to a broad number of people as invites for rewarding regenerative behaviours
4. Running local pilots (and providing liquidity for these pilots) to start experimenting with best practices for creating circular economies (starting with Active Regions)

Proposal financing & funding focus

Which proposals are we able to fund? Those intended to provide:

1. The greatest regenerative impact
2. A small number of seeds to a wide number people, through Invite Campaigns
3. Regeneration specifically by not needing to trade Seeds for central bank currencies to do so
4. Alliance shares for allied organisations within SEEDS (to give them some deferred Seeds to have as a stake in SEEDS’ success and/or some value to back their project tokens with)

Campaign funding for “Active Regions” (for regions that successfully reach 144 Citizens) to fund their Regional DHO (for each regions Citizens to decide on their own which proposals they prioritise and fund)

Primary funding sources for transitioning wealth

As SEEDS matures we can start to approach VC’s to make deals directly with the Citizens to buy Seeds from the Alliances (allies.seeds) account to access the quantity of Seeds they want at a fixed price (then Seeds are in escrow) this will start to bring in larger organisations to get a stake in SEEDS and provide resources to amplify the mission Focus on where the most value for SEEDS’ financial growth and liquidity may come from:

1. Individual regenerators buying small amounts of Seeds
2. Venture capital funds buying large amounts of Seeds
