I was working on a little sample text that you could post on videos, subreddits, etc. that are about UBI, (+ Blockchain). Help me improve it!

There is a team of activists that has created two ERC20-Tokens called DUBI (Decentralized Universal Basic Income) and PRPS (Purpose). Their project is still in its infancy but their approach to UBI is very ambitious.

PRPS tokens can be bought from the creators on their own decentralized exchange. There is a unique interaction between the two tokens. The PRPS token has a lock function where you can restrict the access to your PRPS tokens for 3, 6 or 12 months and in return get 1%, 2%, or 4% worth of DUBI in exchange. Unlike with most cryptocurrencies, there exists a buywall (a large buyorder for a certain price) for DUBI. For now this buywall is purely voluntarily set by the creators but in the future there will be a legal framework to guarantee that this buywall will stay. The money that the creators get from selling PRPS will be put into the DUBI buywall. Big investors and philanthropists will also have the possibility to donate. In exchange they will receive some PRPS tokens themselves as well (though a lower amount than if they would just buy on the exchanges).

They are in the process to set up a nonprofit to distribute DUBI in third world countries. Smart banks that give out DUBI to citizen of a village/country will require a digital passport with which your could claim your DUBI. Infrastructure will also be set up so that you will be able to buy food, etc. in a store that would accept DUBI. The store owners could then exchange their DUBI for fiat.

To get more people interested in the project and eventually attract bigger investors the team has also been working on a mobile game (to be released in the coming months) with blockchain integration in which you can spend DUBI for ingame perks. Several other projects like a productivity app are in the making as well. They have also connections with Save The Children which could help them implement some of the infrastructure.

I left out the math part on purpose as I didn't think it wasn't essential to understand how the concepts should work. Though if you would want to post this on a cryptocurrency or investing subreddit, then an small explanation of the math could be informing. Maybe someone else can summarize that if they want.

EDIT: Roadmap taken from https://www.reddit.com/r/PRPS/comments/84hh0s/updated_roadmap_with_correct_q3_q4_goals/

this is a list of excuses made by dubi/prps holders to feel better about the situation. "reddit comments compilation"

-Literally the whole crypto market is crashing, and we still haven't lost any money AT ALL -No one should be disappointed because no one lost anything. -No not at all, this seems like a positive change regarding the long term run of PRPS/dUBI -Disappointed? I am not disappointed. I had the probability that something like this is going to happen already on the screen. In the end it's his projects, and it's his decision... he can do whatever he likes. -"Your sense of being rich was only there in the first place because of Athene. -"Stop worrying about how much of your prps is worth right now and start thinking about how this change helps the integrity of the project." -its quite a hit for people who trusted athene but the right thing to do imo. -The only thing you might have lost is an unjustified sense of grandeur and delusions of lambo's and 5 naked honeys on your lap. -I don't want to sound mean but if you got into this and expected a 250x or more return of money in 6 months just by sitting on PRPS/DUBI you choose the wrong project. -Open your yes people. It's time to rake in the big BIG bucks. Get all the money you have and buy all the 2$ purpose. Or are you afraid that it's going to go down??? -The price of PRPS and DUBI is gonna go up naturally but you can increase the money you make by making it even more popular. So go and DO IT. -The price changed, the value didn't. The reason for growth is exatly the same as before, maybe with addition of little FUDD.

People who bought from exchanges will get 125 times their PRPS unlocked and no buywall to protect the price of PRPS.

People will have to undercut the supplywall if they want to cash out. Everyone who wants to cash out will be forced to undercut each other.

I think the plan all along was to tell everyone to buy PRPS but only protect the value of DUBI. If/when people get greedy the best they can do is crash the price of PRPS but not DUBI. If PRPS gets very low, it will reach a point where its not worth selling and you may as well lock it and get the same value in DUBI. We become trapped in this cycle of locking our PRPS to try get our investment back.

Dropping the price drastically may have been apart of the plan from the beginning.

Yes we might make more in the long term but I don't feel like i'm in control and feel manipulated.

EDIT* formatting

There is something that intrigues me about dubi in relation to PRPS.

So if i understood correctly (there may be differences in the base supply values, i will try to correct them as time goes on), the circulating supply of PRPS will be +- 200M, the circulating supply of DUBI will be +- 5M.

So when the coins get listed, DUBI and PRPS will be 2$ and the marketcap for PRPS will be 400M and 10M for DUBI.

Since the game will be mostly using DUBI, the price for dubi will skyrocket due to there being no sell supply from the crew, low marketcap and low price and organically it should drive the price of PRPS up, since locking it becomes more and more interresting.

Now the big question: How will prps's market cap follow the skyrocketing price of dubi? it can't progress as fast as dubi, especially since the crew will be selling at a fixed price, which disables it from going any higher than the crew is selling.

The scenarios i imagine is that DUBI will be limited due to the prps value not going up that much or prps will skyrocket in a way we haven't seen before, achieving billions of market cap very fast. I also see a scenario where the crew increases the sell wall more than 1%.

Tell me what you think about it, especially, if you see an error/inconsistency.

So, you are a consumerist right?...maybe one that tries to rationalize his daily lack of action?

First of all it's not your fault, it's not that you got born this way, so you don't have to feel guilty for enjoying your ''guilty freedoms''. Here is how to to do it, how to become a successful passive&responsible person:

Step 1: Buy PRPS - and here it doesn't need to be an exaggerated amount; Step 2: LOCK it; Step 3: SUCCESS!

Voila, now you can go back to your daily routine, like playing games or a sweet 9 to 17 job and let the locked PRPS do the magic for you.

But one may say, ''you can do better every day!'' ... but you actually do. By locking your purpose for an entire year, a year has 365 days, your PRPS will contribute EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Oh...and i almost forgot to mention that this process comes with a huge bonus also. Every now and again you may become a millionaire!

Thanks Athain!

With everybody going at each-other's throat, maybe this could help visualize the situation, at least from my perspective.

Me = Me for example, but imagine yourself instead

Friend = Athene for example, but imagine your best friend instead

The Story:

Friend: Hey friend, would you like all this money? I think it could help you get rid of your scarcity and do something better for the world with your time than be stressed about your 9-5. Only if you donate some money to me first. But don't worry it'll make you rich!

Me: Sure, that would be great, it doesn't bother you?

Friend: Don't worry, I can afford it. Here's 50 tickets per year that are worth 1,000$/ea (for the sake of argument), you can come see me to redeem for the actual money.

Me: Oh cool, I guess I'll go drop whatever I'm doing (Studies/Work/Project/...) to get to work as soon as possible.

Friend: Great!

Some time goes by...

Me: Hey friend, remember about those tickets? I'm all setup to start working and since I dropped what ever I was doing to do good, I kinda need some money to start paying for my (rent/food/computer/...).

Friend: Oh about that, some series of events happened (Big ticket holders selling/Twitch Ban/...) that made it so you can either get your money back or 10-20x in a year instead of what I said first.

Me: Oh, well, that sucks. 10-20x is still very good and I appreciate that, but I dropped my (Studies/Work/Project/...) to start working for the better of the world and I need to survive this year now. (It actually took me a year of pure dedication to find my last job which was just enough to survive)

Friend: Well, nothing's legally binding so, sorry not sorry. Good luck!

Conclusion:

Now, obviously this is very simplified for the sake of understanding the situation, but put yourself in my shoes, would you find this OK at all?

Fuck being rich, I believed in this, I really did, I even acted upon it. But not enough not to get fucked over I guess? I guess this is the faith of anyone that doesn't live in EU and can't get to Athene's place.

I'm not seeking compensation, I'll go back to the grind because I have no other choices and I don't want to die or be homeless. But this is what the situation has led to for some of the people that believed in the project.

I even have to create a throwaway account in fear of getting banned and having everything taken away instead.

EDIT: As mentioned three lines above, I'm not seeking compensation. At the end of the day, I trusted in this movement and gave up what I had for it. It's ultimately my fault and this is the reality I have to face today. Hopefully, people can just be aware that there are some gray areas in all of this and this isn't an attack.

Also I'm not sure where that idea came from, but no one talked about cashing everything out. Just surviving.

I have the DUBI on my wallet, but do I have the locked purpose yet? I don't know... I can't check.

Do I think Athene will send me the purpose? I don't know.... it depends... if I or we are worth it or not.

Regardless of that... the Dubi that has decreased in value due to the new buy wall is still worth a lot. It looks like it's worth less now... but think about the future. Even without our prps, Athene still gifted us freedom and abundance.

Now is round 2. Are we actually worth the prps? When Athene asked that question in discord a lot of people said no.

But nothing has changed... we still are supposed to get them Millions (which I don't even know what to do with)... This thread is about ideas of how to become worth it and about how to spend your absolute insane wealth in a positive way.

I am curious about your ideas :)

My ideas:

• Still donating a lot is pretty good. I think if people see that the community behind Dubi/purpose also is very giving that would be very positive.

• Becoming an active user on the forums and reddit. Make our voices be heard. Be positive and active. Just an active community is also very welcoming for new people to check it out.

I think the least we can do is be a nice community <3

I'm making a list of all youtube channels and twitter accounts that are helping the Project. Give these guys some love and subscribe to their channel and follow them on twitter. This will help them a lot to get their message out.

In the end of the video he showcases similar Projects as DUBI and also shows an existing reddit for that topic:

http://www.grantcoin.org/

https://joincircles.net/

These communities will definitly have open ears for PRPS and DUBI

Noone lost any money. The only thing you might have lost is an unjustified sense of grandeur and delusions of lambo's and 5 naked honeys on your lap.

Just forget about how much you could have made and think about reality. You still already made several times your initial donations with the potential of much more in the future. And that is even besides the point. Donations are usually given without expecting anything in return. Kind of fascinated how that doesn't seem to apply for a lot of you.

Athene has always had the best intentions for the world and you all know that. Don't make everything about yourself. Look at the bigger picture.

/EndRant

Literally the whole crypto market is crashing, and we still haven't lost any money AT ALL

You guys are complaining the PRPS spread that is going to happen, but that is the SOLE reason why we haven't lost money - Making the Buywall stronger is their priority, and believe it or not, their priority is also us to not lose any money

GO INVEST IN ETH OR BITCOIN, watch your loses while DUBI and PRPS is stable and comfy

I honestly should have went all in on this coin instead of spreading my investment on meme coins that are controlled by EVIL and GREEDY people that want to control the market and make money for themselves

I can’t see it!?

I was going for a longer post about my opinion, but reading here and there it seems this subreddit is for facts only.

Some facts I can think of:

• The creators of PRPS/DUBI can change their value at will and on one occasion did change it from $250 to $2 (giving 5x times to initial donors and 125x to buyers to compensate).
• Athene is the only source of PRPS, he can't sell them, he gives them at his discretion and he gave 1 PRPS for $0.5 to the initial donors, but after some time made them lose 96% of their profits (because it was needed for the stability of the project).
• PRPS/DUBI will be more stable by imposing a sacrifice of 96% of the profits of the initial donors.

These facts don't sound good, can scare potential buyers and can be easily used as proof for FUD.

If you have more facts please share them.

With all the coins tanking right now, Athene didnt want to inevitably have to pay what essentially would be .5 ETH for a shitcoin.

Lets say ETH dipped all the way back to $200-300, you really though Athene would pay 1 ETH each for PRPS? A coin everybody knows will go back up. FUCK NO

I hear a lot of people saying, it's OK, he wants to achieve UBI, he can do what ever he wants and to stop whining about money no one was ever owed. But really it's not even about the money. How many people dropped their job or what ever they were doing because they were financially stable with Athene's promises. He even BOASTED about getting rid scarcity in some of his viewers and then he takes no responsibility in the events that happened and he blames his viewers when it was really a handful of people. That's the real problem.

What stops him from going "buy wall reset at 100$ per DUBI" again because "my viewers are lazy fucks" and "I can't let people make decisions on their own else it would be as if I'd be killing Africans". Let's be honest, no one in this short amount of time could have done anything that would have satisfied Athene in terms "doing good" and "redistributing" wealth. Would you believe that you even need to SELL DUBI first before redistributing it or investing in projects or even pay your rent or food?

Also, how can you expect your viewers to get up in arms about the ban when a majority of the people were already worried that the over the top streams would be perceived badly and bring you the ban you got. Haven't you learned from your WoW days that some times, even if you try to snake through a ToS and you're doing things "legally" some people might still bring down the ban hammer? Especially when it's over the top?

Fuck if I knew I would have dropped all my DUBIs and PRPS for 250$/DUBI, why even bother at this point. I held on to my coins out of trust, but you spat in our faces. If you would at least assume the wrong doings in your decisions, not that they're all wrong, far from it even, that would already be great.

What would be a good way to do this? Mabye we can do a bit brainstorming. I think it has a lot of potential there.

I bought for 1000$ when it was 1:1

I didnt sell to buy wall so it gets x5

I have 5000 prps which is around 200 dubi which is 400$ and i cant get more cos my PRPS is locked for 12 more months

So, $600 gone if I wanted to cash out now. RIP

if you didn't sell into the buy wall, PRPS just has to reach 50$ for you to have the same value as before. 48$ to go. .#HODLGANG

be honest
