To know where we’re going, we must remember what value used to mean — and why it broke.
The word “economy” comes from the Greek oikonomia — the management of a household. Not profit. Not infinite growth. Just balance. Care. Sustainability.
True economy was about making do, protecting what you had, and ensuring others had enough. Scarcity wasn’t an enemy — it was a teacher. And value wasn’t created by risk — it was preserved through wisdom.
Long before fiat currency, central banks, or compound interest — the world’s major religions warned us about unfair money and debt. Across faiths and centuries, one truth echoed: manipulating money manipulates people.
Ancient Hindu texts such as the Manusmriti warned against excessive interest and exploitation of the poor. Lending was allowed — but fairness was sacred. Even kings were forbidden from collecting excessive interest.
The Torah forbids charging interest to fellow Jews (Exodus 22:25, Leviticus 25:35-37). Wealth was to circulate within the community. Every 7 years, debts were forgiven — a “Sabbatical Year” to reset imbalance.
Buddhism condemned attachment to wealth and profit through manipulation. Usury was discouraged, as it violated the principle of right livelihood — causing suffering instead of reducing it.
The New Testament warns against moneylending for gain. Jesus overturned the tables of the money-changers. Early Christians saw usury as a sin that weaponized time against the poor.
The Quran explicitly forbids riba — the charging of interest — as unjust and exploitative. Money is to be earned through honest trade, not from money itself.
For centuries, the Catholic Church banned usury. Lending was to be charitable, not profitable. The rise of interest-bearing banking was considered morally dangerous and spiritually corrupt.
These spiritual warnings weren’t about rejecting money — they were about preserving dignity. Fairsharecoin follows that same path: no interest, no inflation, no domination through debt. Just one coin, per verified life.
Ubuntu is an African philosophy rooted in the idea that our identity and worth arise through connection with others. It teaches that a person becomes a person through other people — that value is not isolated, but relational.
This directly echoes Fairsharecoin’s premise: every person is born with inherent value, and the health of the system depends on how that value flows and supports others.
Where Western models often say “I think, therefore I am,” Ubuntu says: “We are, therefore I am.” A perfect reflection of human-centric, peer-to-peer economy.
From carved tablets to digital chains, humanity has always sought ways to track, store, and trust value. Sometimes it worked. Often, it failed. Here’s how the tools we built — and the flaws we carried — shaped every economy we’ve known.
In ancient Uruk, Sumerians etched ledgers into clay: grain rations, labor hours, beer for workers. These weren’t for profit — they were memory. Their temples doubled as banks, and their skies were their clocks. Trust was local and celestial.
Cowries were used across Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Durable and once rare, they became early currency. But overuse and colonial flooding broke their trust. They remain one of the longest-lasting non-metal currencies in history.
Rome introduced wide-scale state-issued coinage — gold (aureus), silver (denarius), and bronze (as). Coins weren’t just money — they were propaganda, stamped with emperors, gods, and victories.
Over time, Rome faced rising costs: wars, bureaucracy, bread, and circuses. Instead of raising taxes, they **debased** the currency — reducing silver content while keeping face value.
The result? Trust collapsed. Prices soared. And as value drained, so did loyalty. Sound familiar?
Chinese merchants created “fei‑qian” to move value without hauling coins. It became the world’s first state-issued paper money — freeing currency from weight, but not from authority.
From the mines of the Americas, Spain extracted vast silver to fund empire and trade. It linked continents — but also enslaved populations and tied value to conquest. Coins carried power, but not fairness.
Fiat means “let it be so.” It's money by decree — backed by nothing but government promise. Paper replaced gold. Trust replaced substance. Central banks began issuing unlimited currency, untied from reserves, enabling war funding, bailouts, and inflation on command.
First used in ancient China, fiat reappeared in full force after the gold standard broke. Today, all major currencies are fiat — infinite in supply, manipulated by policy, and increasingly detached from real-world value.
Bitcoin decentralized the ledger. It replaced trust with code and scarcity with proof-of-work. But its wealth distribution favored early adopters, and its power now concentrates in energy-rich hands. Revolutionary — but still not fair.
Learning from history's mistakes, FSC returns to first principles: value anchored in human existence itself. No debasement possible, no centralized control, and no energy waste - just one verified life, one immutable share.
Today, “economy” means more. Always more. Growth at any cost. GDP must rise, even if needs shrink. Efficiency should reduce GDP — but in this system, that’s a crisis.
Instead of balance, we have endless debt. Instead of stewardship, we have stimulus. Fiat money is created from nothing, inflated constantly, and used to prop up illusions.
We’re told this is normal. It’s not.
If debt sustains the system, then collapse is just a matter of time. When it happens — whether slowly or all at once — what will remain?
Not fiat. Not central banks. Not even most crypto.
Bitcoin was born out of crisis. It promised a reset. But it replaced one fragile system with another — one that depends on electricity, hardware cycles, and price incentives.
Just look at the wreckage: once-revered miners like the Antminer S1, S5, S9, and even the S19 are now obsolete. In a few years, today’s top machines will join them.
And eventually, only money-printing nations will be able to afford the mining infrastructure. Mining will centralize. It already is.
Worse, Bitcoin may one day need to fund its own mining — just to keep existing. That’s not value. That’s a loop.
A system inflating just to sustain itself. Sound familiar?
And when energy gets scarce, or the grid goes down, Fairsharecoin still works — because you still do.
Fairsharecoin isn’t backed by gold. It isn’t staked in oil. And it doesn’t need mining rigs, leverage, or permissioned ledgers. It’s based on something simpler — and stronger: you exist.
FSC is powered by Proof-of-Being: if you’re a living, verified person, you receive one coin — once. No inflation. No early bird bonus. No “pump and dump.” Just one person, one coin.
In this system, supply grows only as humanity grows. And when people die, their coins naturally rest — never reassigned, never reclaimed. That gentle rhythm mirrors life itself.
You don’t need to hoard resources in a vault. Or burn electricity to prove worth. Or trust billionaires to “hold the line.” Fairsharecoin works because trust is built in — not bought in.
Some say value must be backed by something. But why not back it with us? With our dignity, our presence, and our decision to treat one coin — and each other — with care.
In that sense, FSC is more than fair — it’s honest. And that honesty is what holds value when everything else breaks.
| System | Backed By | Core Weakness | FSC's Solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fiat | Government debt & trust | Inflation, inequality, corruption | Fixed supply, equally issued to all humans |
| Gold | Physical scarcity | Illiquid, hard to store, indivisible | Fully digital, portable, divisible to picoFSC |
| Bitcoin | Energy expenditure (PoW) | Mining centralization, high energy demand | No mining, no energy waste, egalitarian issuance |
| Stablecoins | Fiat reserves | Counterparty risk, regulatory dependency | Backed by human identity and universal issuance |
| Fairsharecoin (FSC) | Unique human existence | Adoption friction & verification logistics | Functions in crises, identity‑based, zero issuance cost |
We considered whether each person should receive more than one Fairsharecoin. What if everyone got 10, or 80, or even 100 FSC? Would that make the system more usable, or more divisible? Would it help microtransactions? We ran the numbers, tested the philosophy, and traced the logic.
The answer always brought us back to the same truth: you only get one life — so you only get one coin. Simple, symbolic, final. One FSC equals one human, and that’s what gives it meaning.
Yes, we can measure fractions — months, days, seconds — in milliFSC, microFSC, picoFSC. But those are just parts of your single, finite presence. Fairsharecoin is built to reflect exactly that: not wealth, not energy, not inflation — but time, identity, and trust.
So we chose to stay with 1 FSC per person. Not because it’s easier — but because it’s right.
Fairsharecoin isn’t backed by oil, gold, fiat, or even Bitcoin. It goes further — it’s anchored in something more universal: human time.
If one FSC equals one human life, we can model it as an average lifespan:
That means: 1 second ≈ 396.85 picoFSC
Or inversely: 1 picoFSC ≈ 2.52 milliseconds
In other words, every moment you’re alive — every thought, decision, or contribution — carries value. And that value can be measured, stored, and exchanged in a system that respects your finite presence.
This isn’t about work hours or productivity. It’s about anchoring a fair economic system in the scarcity we all share: time. No mining. No inflation. Just your verified, irreplaceable existence — forever recorded as 1 FSC.
| Time | FSC (approx) | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 0.0125 FSC | centiFSC |
| 1 month | 0.00104167 FSC | milliFSC |
| 1 week | 0.0002404 FSC | — |
| 1 day | 0.00003425 FSC | — |
| 1 hour | 0.000001427 FSC | microFSC (μFSC) |
| 1 minute | 0.00000002378 FSC | nanoFSC (nFSC) |
| 1 second | 0.000000000396 FSC | picoFSC (pFSC) |
When we say "1 picoFSC = 2.52 milliseconds of human existence", we're not being poetic - we're building an economy where time is the fundamental unit of value. Your attention, care, and presence become the real currency.
FSC isn’t about profit or price manipulation. It’s not about creating artificial scarcity. It’s about enabling peer-to-peer time exchange — rebalancing a world that's been rigged by giving everyone an equal claim on existence.
We don’t claim to fix everything. But we promise this: no hidden mechanisms, no early advantage, and no lifetime debt traps.
Your finite, irreplaceable time. Recognized. Shared. Respected.
If the world’s trust in fiat breaks — if energy costs soar, or mining becomes elite-only — Fairsharecoin still works. Because you still do.
FSC doesn’t need vaults of gold or barrels of oil to function. It doesn’t store value in objects — it stores it in us. In a person’s verified presence, and their one rightful share.
While old systems hoard, FSC flows. While others inflate, FSC stays still. It’s not a coin to speculate with — it’s a coin to remember: you matter. You always did.
When the grid goes down, FSC can wait. When power returns, it picks up again — not from hype, but from memory. That’s the future: a value system that mirrors life, not consumption.
Fairsharecoin isn’t just a theory. It’s a lifeline. In a moment of crisis — displacement, poverty, collapse, injustice — one coin can mean shelter, food, a safe route, or a signal of trust.
If even one person holds their coin to help another, then value is real. And it was always yours to begin with.
Time — the universal currency we forgot.
When the dust settles, all that matters is what was honest — and what was yours.
