The Crypto Revolution and the Regenerative Renaissance
Episode 13 of the Pathways to Regenerative Civilizations series.
“Today’s economy is divisive and degenerative by default.
Tomorrow’s economy must be distributive and regenerative by design.”
-Kate Raworth
Episode 13 of the Pathway to a Regenerative Civilization
If you’ve ever asked
“how is SEEDS different from other cryptocurrencies?”
or,
“how does SEEDS help us create a regenerative economy?”
then this is for you!
In this episode we explore SEEDS as a Regenerative Economic (REcon) system and how it compares to other crypto-economic protocols and currencies… This builds on Ep. 12 which compares Seeds to Gold, Dollars and Bitcoin and the earlier episodes of this series that detail how SEEDS is a regenerative economic system.
What this series is about:
One telling of the story of humanity’s global transition to Regenerative Civilizations.
This details SEEDS and Hypha’s role in this transition and lays out a clear framework for humanity to use to create new stories for the people and our planet!
SEEDS and Hypha are both governed by the members who join them. This journey is not ‘set in stone’ it is designed to be co-created with you (anyone who’s watching this). This just lays out the current thinking, tools and protocols that are in place to aid this journey.
So, this is an invitation to join us on this journey and create a new type of civilization that the wonderous diversity of life on this planet is needing.

**IMPORTANT REMINDER: THE SEEDS DESIGN DISCUSSED HERE IS AFTER “GO-LIVE”, WHERE A PROTOCOL SHIFT OCCURS TO START STABILISING THE VALUE OF SEEDS. FOR NOW SEEDS IS A FIXED SUPPLY CURRENCY AND HAS APPRECIATED FROM $0.01 TO $0.09 IN LOW-LIQUIDITY MARKET PRICE. “GO-LIVE” WON’T OCCUR UNTIL SEEDS MAINTAINS A PRICE ABOVE $0.80 WITH HEALTHY LIQUIDITY.**
The reason for this is SEEDS (along with all of crypto) is risky! There’s a chance cryptocurrencies don’t become our new economic realities and the value of SEEDS becomes 0. Current protocols are designed to acknowledge this risk with a scare token for the first part of SEEDS life. Then after the economy has grown to a healthy size, the protocols shift to create a stable economy. In this way SEEDS mimics any biological organism with a life cycle that changes how it behaves at different stages of maturity (for more, see the SEEDS guide linked below).
