Title: [IDEA] Healthcoin-Medicoin-Clinicoin
Post by: bee1 on March 10, 2014, 09:08:09 AM
hello all :)

i have no programming skills,
but want to share my idea with you
and maybe get few more opinions


imagine there is a coin
you can buy it
but you cant sell it
the only way to spend this coin is trough healthcare (medicine, hospital etc)


greetings
bee

Imo single-use application coins don't really have a place - what benefit is there when you can use any other coin?

Nice idea, but imo they're all flawed by having a single use!

hmm, ok, makes sense

i thought that any other coin can be traded, so its not sure what value it has at a certain time
but if there would be a coin, where trading/selling is impossible, maybe this coin can have a solid value (so if i need resources for a surgery for example, i can be sure to have them, no matter what) health is very important issue i think

Well, hopefully curecoin will be that coin but it will not be used for a single purpose.

What is the reason to use such a coin instead of normal money? Ok, you can spend it on healthcare services but it's not clear what are the benefits comparing to the existings ways of consuming healthcare services.
