Alright, never had a Twitter or anything so I'm getting used to posting my thoughts out into the ether of cyberspace...

At the #farm, we're starting to design circular systems. Meaning copying the way Nature works in all aspects of our economic and social design.

Like compost: food scraps come in from the community, we feed the pigs, pigs make fertile soil for veggies, and both veggies and pigs ultimately end up in the market.

Better yet, the folks who sign up for compost can get their meat and veggies delivered to their doorstep when we come to pick up their food scraps bucket each week.

So the money that comes in for the food scraps program helps lower the cost of feeding the pigs AND growing veggies AND covers delivery!

We call that "stacking functions". High efficiency, circular, and win-win.

The next goal would be to get #Bitcoin implemented so compost, food, and compensation can all be paid that way. But how to get people to adopt BTC easily?

Genius. Sounds like someone is used to systems thinking.

Building a circular economy depends, somewhat, on the country you live in.

The US still thinks taxing each transaction is a good idea. This can be a real damper. Other countries see this different and in these places you see circular economies sprouting up.

Some ways to help motivate your customers is to offer a discount when buying with Bitcoin.

Actually, this is a major point we have been focusing on. Because the pigs and plants are offering their "services of soil remediation", the way we have begun to structure things is that folks are actually paying for their services instead of buying "products" (words are key here - commodifying living matter is a major reason we're so disconnected from our food and land). And you can't tax services.

So in essence, you're paying for the service of the land steward to remediate and care for soil health through use of plants and animals, and getting a portion of the dividends from that service through meat and veg. And the delivery is our service we provide through our company called the Stalk Market :)

Loops on loops on loops.

That sounds like a healthy, long term version. I wish you success!
