The year 2020 ended with all its difficulties and problems. The corona virus has changed the lives of us all this year. With the start of the new year 2021, we tried to start the new year with a good event for our users by holding an AirDrop campaign. https://sec.2local.io/airdrop

2local’s own blockchain becomes a high-quality fork of Ethereum, adjusted for 2local needs. As a Consensus Algorithm, a dedicated Proof of Stack (dPoS) is used to guarantee fast, low-cost transactions.

The amount of the fee will be 0.5% and is used by the 2local platform for the cashback system and operations. 2local launches a Decentralized Exchange (similar to UniSwap) on top of its own blockchain.

This blockchain enables verification without relying on third parties. The blockchain ledger is distributed to each node, which are the participants. The transactions are stored in the blocks of multiple devices participating in the chain, resulting in a decentralized 2local solution.

The transactions that take place are transparent and can be traced back to the place of origin. On top of the blockchain, a smart contract is created, fully ERC-721 compatible, so that other projects can also build their own token on it.

Join our IEO at Exmarkets, https://exmarkets.com/launchpad/l2l-usdt

Given that our goal is to become a global business and a strong financial system, we are trying to provide better access for our customers in the field of 2LOCAL globalization by holding a new IEO in Exmarket exchange.

as a reminder, we all experience the world around us differently. It’s part of what makes us unique as people. We also have the power to recognize and shift our perspectives and perception with intention and new information. It’s part of our superpower as humans.
Have empathy for how others experience the world. Challenge yourself to be brave and really track what you are actually focusing on with your thoughts and actions. You will always find more of what you are looking for.
Imagine economy is a person and one day he will come to you and say know that the next time we meet it will not end well.!!!
what is your reaction then?

As you know from the beginning
Humans are always trying to find a way to live. Old methods no longer have a place in our lives. Modern methods have replaced traditional methods. For example, we used to go to the bank to do a banking job physically, but now the same things can be done on the Internet and you can save time, money and energy.
We too must adapt to the new conditions and take advantage of the modern world ahead and online businesses. One of these online businesses 2local Is called.

2local A new economic program that seeks to establish social justice and equality for all in the light of global conditions.
But you may ask that you have encountered other economic models before and Everyone is the same and they just chant. Why should I choose 2local?
This method is not interesting!
What is the difference between 2local and other economic models?

This is a simple answer
In all periods of life, economics is an integral part of human life and to live your own life, you must interact with a model of it.
It’s not about you like it or not it’s about what’s best for you and what’s can make you different from the other peoples.
Many of the previous models are designed to the detriment of ordinary people and to serve the interests of their creators, that is, to rule a specific and limited segment of society as a whole because they have the power to make society as long as they have money in their hands Lead to their goals, which results in poverty, economic corruption and numerous thefts.

But in the way 2local founded, wealth and financial resources are in the hands of all the people of the society in a very practical way, and the more you try and show your enthusiasm for the system, the more income you will have as a result. In fact, because the profit and the amount of income from this process start from the people and return to them, no one can have a predetermined superiority over others, and this causes power and wealth to be divided between people and others. Do not witness poverty, economic corruption and theft in the financial system of a particular country or society.
And yeah it’s democracy.

So isn’t it better to choose a system that seeks transparency from the beginning and provides all that is needed in the field of economics?
Isn’t it better to choose a system that seeks to create welfare for the poor and low-income sections of society in order to create democracy in the true sense of the word?
When you can choose a path with open and calculated vision and gain new and useful benefits, why blindly look for old things and waste your time and energy.
These are just a few of the things that make 2local different from other economic models.

But we need help we can’t do this alone.
you see this project is based on win-win system not win-loose so no matter who you are or where do you live OR what language you speaking
if you believe in changing the world
2local has a professional plan for you and invites you to join this program.
Let the past go it’s beyond our control. we can live in the past or live for the future.
We all have choices. think how you can change your destiny and people’s destiny’s.

The time has come for you to once again show out duty as a person to make the world great again because as you know
STARS can’t shine without darkness.
You and me can make it.
With 2local you are a free person.
It’s time to start acting like it.
So when you see him (Mr economy) again
And he said next time I see you it will not end well look into his eyes and say no Sir you are mistaken.
it will ends perfectly for me because I have 2local.

Our market system has shortcomings. Regional governments / democracies cannot cope with internationally operating companies. Moreover, international banks cannot be tackled by national governments. The international intertwining of governments, international banks and multinationals means that inequality continues to exist worldwide and irreparable environmental and climate damage is caused worldwide. That is a major shortcoming of our economic system. In my Blog “Get started!” I explained that we can break through this so-called COMBI-Complex, i.e. the Complex of gOvernments, Multinationals, and Banks that operate Internationally, with cryptocurrencies of 2local and a cashback for local and sustainable products. In this Blog I will discuss our deficient money system and show that 2local cryptocurrencies are an alternative to this and that multinationals are put on sidelines by the 2local cashback system that stimulates local and sustainable initiatives. Governments will also see the benefits of this innovative cryptocurrency system..

Our monetary System shows a lot of failures. Money creation is done by private companies, namely by the banks. Money is created by making debts. Banks determine who will initially receive this money for what and under what conditions. They then tax it with interest. Debts must be repaid and interest must be paid on top of that. This is only possible with economic growth. The question is how long this can continue, given the pace at which we are exhausting the raw materials and consumables on Earth. To stop environmental pollution and climate change, we will also have to limit economic growth. In finite world, continuous economic growth cannot exist without crashes.
At the moment people are forced to deposit money with the commercial banks, with the result that they are at risk. Everyone who has money in the bank invests in banks, whether he / she wants it or not. This puts everyone who now has money in the bank at risk. In a bank run, the bank can go bankrupt..

Money creation is done by international commercial banks. This will irrevocably lead to two conflicts:
— conflict public — private; Banks are commercial institutions. The commercial banks want to make as much profit as possible and run great risks, for example by raising the total private debt far too high. These are now even higher than before the crisis. So, commercial parties are aimed at making a profit, while public interests are at stake. Money and payments, payment infrastructure, lending and financial stability, and monetary policy are a public task. Public interests are now managed by commercial institutions. That is inconsistent.
— conflict national — international; The banking sector has an oligopolistic position in the economy. The three largest banks currently own 75% of the financial sector. International banks have too much power, they cannot be called to order by national governments, which are responsible for public tasks. The size of the balance sheets of the three largest banks in the Netherlands has only increased since the crisis.

The financial system is unstable and reckless. It constantly leads to new crises. Banks do stupid things when supervision is insufficient. Then the system crashes, as we saw in 2008. Money is created by contracting debt. Debt holds us in a grip and puts the economy into stagnation. There is a large amount of debt that can no longer be paid. Then the problems are put to the public sector. And the system is about to burst. Suspended assets are sold to the ECB. This constantly leads to tensions, which regularly lead to crises. The money system dominated by banks falls short of service to society. It disrupts the market. It turns out to be out of control and leads to instability and inequality. This undermines society and democracy.

We must distinguish between:
1. Money creation, for example companies are financed by the banks. Businesses receive money from the bank, which the bank created out of thin air. The companies therefore have a debt to the bank. We must create money without being guilty.

2. Lending, based on market principles, is risky / risk-bearing. This includes that they can go bankrupt.

In order to grind the money system more stably and to function better, the ‘Our Money Foundation’ has put forward ideas that result in the need for a new bank that ensures that we can pay and save safely, and to set up a safe payment and savings bank. (digital sock). The money press should not belong to commercial parties., but serve public interest. The new bank has a kind of utility function and is part of the public sector. The bank makes it easy for us to transfer cashless funds, debit card payments and take advantage of and save all the digital conveniences without running any risks. It’s about safe parking of money and free savings. Hoarding money is also not the intention, therefore we should offer the credits for the citizen for free, seen as a utility, but start to tax progressively from a certain amount.

An action by ‘Our Money Foundation’, in collaboration with the theater group ‘De Verleiders [The seducers]’ and writer / economist Ad Broere, has led to a citizens’ initiative, a report by the WRR (Scientific Council for Government Policy), a motion by member of parliament Mahir Alkaya and various parliamentary debates. The public debate about the money system led to a broad consensus that there should be a safe alternative to the bank account, to allow account holders to freely choose whether or not to make their money available to banks, to increase the diversity in the banking landscape, forcing banks to behave more responsibly, to make the money system more manageable; and stabilize the money system.

The government, as well as the WRR in its report ‘Money and debt’ in January 2019, think that:
— banks are only needed to deal with savings and payments,
— the total amount of private debt is far too high,
— the large mountain of debt is causing instability and unbalanced economic growth
— the options for dealing with crises are limited and controversial
— instability is inherent in the financial system,
— there is an imbalance between public and private
— the combination of private activities and public functions creates permanent tensions, which are inevitable,
— the position of the citizen should be strengthened.

Although the government and the WRR largely agree with the criticisms, there are still no proposals to tackle this problem structurally. In June 2019, the Minister of Finance informed the House of Representatives that the cabinet sees insufficient reasons to set up such a bank itself.

Good ideas to change the monetary system, such as the ‘Our Money Foundation’ initiative with the establishment of a safe payment and savings bank, therefore have no chance and / or are adjusted so that they fit into the Combi complex, ie the Complex of gOvernments, Multinationals, and Banks operating Internationally.

The only thing the government is considering is to offer citizens the opportunity to open a cashless account with ‘De Nederlandsche Bank [Dutch Central Bank]’. The Dutch Central Bank can then offer payment accounts and also make it possible to save at The Dutch Central Bank. For this, the Dutch Central Bank and the European Central Bank must first agree. However, there are major objections to this, because The Dutch Central Bank is a banking supervisor and would therefore also become a supervisor of itself, which is of course not possible. Still, the Dutch Central Bank investigated the possibility of its own digital currency, following Facebook’s plan to introduce its own crypto currency, the Libra. The government believes that the deposit guarantee (guarantee up to 100,000 euros) offers sufficient security to citizens. Moreover, the government believes that there are disadvantages to the ‘Alkaya system’, as it is also not safe, because in life there is nothing safe! In addition, rules are already set for banking. And, says the minister, suppose it is a success, the banks will pay for the costs of the public institution. The government therefore prefers to use controversial measures, such as interest rate cuts and bond purchases, and possibly even more controversial measures, such as monetary financing of government expenditure. The WRR says that containment of systemic risks will only work to a limited extent.

However, there is a solution:
Take the initiative together with the 2local platform. The 2local platform is an innovative blockchain powered loyalty platform using cryptocurrencies, which offers a cash back and a smart marketplace that connects local and sustainable companies and consumers. Payments can be made easily, cheaply, digitally and quickly, also internationally. The 2local platform has three key points:

    A cashback for local and sustainable products, by which people with less money also have access to sustainable products. This will increase sustainability and prosperity in the world;
    The cash back system is integrated in the own blockchain of 2local;
    The value creation of 2local is shared with people who actually use the cryptocurrencies of 2local.

Some say do it old school and some say use new ways. The thing is

When and what to do to refer to this talk. In the new century, when the speed of human progress has reached the seconds, it seems better to use new methods for progress in personal and social affairs. One of these is economics. The old methods we have dealt with so far have given us a result that is quite tangible to everyone, even those who do not fully understand it, so one cannot expect a different result from the old methods. Results that only the leaders of governments and
multi billion dollar companies and multinational corporations have designed in such a way that the profits and benefits are only their own. But enough is enough

2local A new name in the field of economics with the aim of developing and advancing the poor and lower strata
 of different societies with a new plan to deal with these problems and once again put the fragmented global economy together like a puzzle again So that everyone can offer a new way to an inclusive economy that aims to save people from the clutches of multinational banks and companies.
Experiencing experiences is just a waste of our precious time. It is better to put these experiences into practice in order to save time and energy and achieve better results.
So new is always better.

A local focus prevents deforestation and forest and nature fires




Enough farmland to ensure a healthy diet for all people, improve global biodiversity and limit climate change in 2050

There is enough agricultural land on our planet for local and sustainable production of a healthy diet for all people now and also in 2050. The intensive global farming systems (with a lot of chemical pesticides and fertilizers) from the rich countries are therefore not needed to produce enough food to satisfy to the world population in 2050, as is often claimed. With six steps we can ensure that everyone in the world has access to sufficient and healthy food, which improves biodiversity and mitigates climate change. We make a distinction between rich countries, emerging countries and poor countries. All will have to contribute to this, but their contributions are different.
 

The table below shows that an area of ​​agricultural land per capita of 6,950 m2 in 2010 and 5,086 m2 in 2050 is available worldwide. This reduction is due to the increase of the world population of 36% between 2010 and 2050.

Available agricultural land per capita


Source: María José Ibarrola Rivas, 2015. The use of agricultural resources for global food supply, Understanding its dynamics and regional diversity

An average US diet requires 9,600 m2 per capita. That is now achievable in the rich countries, but not in 2050 either. That is not a bad thing because meat consumption in North America is much too high for a healthy diet. If we reduce this diet to half the animal protein consumption, the land use required is still 5,280 m2 per capita. A vegetarian diet requires 4,992 m2. (World Resource Institute. Sustainable Diets: What You Need to Know in 12 Charts. http://Https://www.wri.org/blog/2016/04/sustainable-diets-what-you-need-know-12-charts). By maintaining the current amount of agricultural land in 2050, more than half a hectare of agricultural land per person will be available worldwide. In principle, that is sufficient to feed all people in the world.
 

To provide the growing world population with sufficient and healthy food, improve global biodiversity and limit climate change, we must take the following measures: 1. Stop globally with expansion of agricultural land, 2. Eat less meat in rich countries, 3. Switch to local and organic farming globally, 4. Close production gaps with information and aid programs for poor countries, 5. Reduce waste and 6. Ensure fair regulated trade.

 

Sub 1. Stop global expansion of agricultural land
The agricultural land available per capita in the world is skewed between the poor and the rich countries. In 2010, the 15% of the world's population in rich countries has more than double the surface area in poor countries, where almost half of the world's population lives. And in 2050, 12% of the world's population per capita in rich countries will have more than three times as much agricultural area as in poor countries, where then 57% of the world's population will live.
 

The figures in the table show that in poor countries there is not enough agricultural land available to produce a diet with a limited amount of meat, not even sufficient for a vegetarian diet, not in 2010 and surely not in 2050. In rich countries, on the other hand, more agricultural land is available than would be necessary for the average US diet, with a large over-consumption of meat. This crooked situation must change. This could be achieved by increasing the amount of agricultural land in poor countries, for example through further deforestation. This is not an option globally. The world's biodiversity would decrease drastically. Moreover the carbon stored in the forests will be released as greenhouse gases (CO2 and methane) with an adverse effect on climate change. Conversely, combating climate change will have a beneficial effect on some ecosystems, such as corals, which are very vulnerable to climate change. Even if the current rate of deforestation continues - currently between 15 and 20 million ha per year (see my previous Blog: A local focus prevents deforestation and forest and nature fires) - this inequality will continue to exist. In that case, the inhabitants of rich countries will still have more than 2.5 times as much agricultural area per capita in 2050 as those in poor countries. Other ways must therefore be found to balance the shortage of agricultural land in the poor countries with the surplus in the rich countries.

 

By not increasing the amount of agricultural land, biodiversity is maintained. Rich countries also benefit from this biodiversity, which is mainly generated in poor (and emerging) countries. They will have to provide compensation to poor countries. It is therefore necessary to achieve a trade-off between poor and rich countries: food produced in rich countries is exchanged for biodiversity generated in poor countries. The food shortage in poor countries will then be eliminated and global biodiversity will be maintained. To improve biodiversity, rich countries still have the task of organizing their own food production in a nature-friendly way. Solutions for this are conceivable in various ways; see Sub 3.

 

Moreover, by not expanding the agricultural land it is achieved that CO2 remains stored in the forests and therefore does not contribute to global warming. There is therefore no need to expand agricultural land, but the current available farmland should not be reduced, for example by producing biofuels for energy production. The use of agro energy and biofuels means putting the cart before the horse. Other methods, such as use of wind and solar energy, are better off for energy generation without damaging biodiversity and climate.

 

Sub 2. Eat less meat in rich countries
Intake of red meat in North America is about 625% of the Lancet reference diet (The Lancet, 2019: Food in the Anthropocene). This observation calls for a switch to diets with less meat in rich countries. For a healthy diet it is therefore necessary to minimize meat consumption. Because the production of meat requires much more agricultural land per calorie than the production of plants, the pressure on agricultural land and the pursuit of high production levels in rich countries therefor decreases. As a result, opportunities exist in rich countries for more extensive production methods with more biodiversity, such as local and organic production. Moreover, in rich countries opportunities arise to supply products to poor countries for their necessary supplements for a healthy diet. See also: https://ourworldindata.org/yields-and-land-use-in-agriculture. Rich countries provide poor countries with a compensation for the biodiversity they generate, that poor countries can use to pay for the products delivered. By eating less meat, at the same time there will be less greenhouse gas emissions from cattle farming, which will limit climate change.


Sub 3. Global switch to local and organic farming
Local and organic farming can offer farmers an income and at the same time protect the fertility of the soil (e.g. through crop rotation, intercropping, polyculture, green crops, mulching, minimal tillage), close nutrient loops locally and maintain the local flora and fauna. This (and the absence of chemical pesticides and fertilizers that use a large amount of energy) promotes biodiversity, environment, landscape composition, liveability of communities and human health (see my previous Blogs: Local sustainability and Engage locally to connect globally). In addition, Halberg and others in 2006 and IFOAM Organics International in 2008 also base this on broader ethical considerations. Moreover, the disappearance of intensive farming methods reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Around 20% to 30% of global emissions come from agriculture (The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency: Food, biodiversity and climate change, 2010) and mainly from intensive agriculture in rich countries. Nitrogen (N) fertilizers are of key importance in intensive conventional agriculture. Their use is a major cause of concern with respect to environmental pollution. Most phosphorus (P) addition to watersheds is from fertiliser use in intensive agriculture. Use of chemical pesticides (containing harmful elements like cadmium) troubles pollinating insects and human health. That is why global switching to local and organic farming is needed, both for rich countries, emerging countries and poor countries.

 

Sub 4. Closing production gaps with information, extension and aid programs for poor countries
The global switch to local and organic farming will lead to a fall in production yields in the rich countries during a - rather long - transition period due to an expected yield gap. In general it takes about 10 to 15 years to turn the depleted soils back into healthy soils with an active soil life and to generate sufficient yields again. Given the relatively large amount of available agricultural land in the rich countries, this can be compensated. Moreover, less waste can make a contribution here; see Sub 5. In poor countries a production increase is possible, not by using chemical fertilizers and pesticides - which would again destroy the achieved biodiversity gains and accelerate climate change - but by narrowing the yield gap, which in the poor countries can still be considerably improved with information and aid programmes.


Sub 5. Reduce waste
With regard to the food system, it is worrying that 30 to 40% of the food produced on agricultural land is wasted. Researchers like Smil and others estimated that in rich countries 15 to 20% of the food produced goes directly from the refrigerator into the waste bin. A FAO report of 2013 estimates that food waste amounts to no less than 1.3 billion tons, adds 3.3 billion tons of greenhouse gases to the planet's atmosphere, and is good for an economic loss (excluding fish and seafood) of $ 750 billion a year.


Sub 6. Ensure fair regulated trade.
We will also have to use the relatively larger surface area of ​​agricultural land in rich countries to make food available to poor countries. There must therefore be an export from the rich countries to the poor countries. Conversely, there will always be products that the rich countries want to consume and that only grow in the poor countries or can grow there better or more compactly. On balance, more will be exported from rich countries to poor countries than vice versa. A trade deficit will therefore arise in poor countries. This can be compensated with payments from rich countries to poor countries for the conservation of biodiversity by poor countries.
 

To achieve these goals, regulated trade will be necessary. Liberalization and protectionism of trade in agricultural products between rich and poor countries is therefore out of the question. Currently farming in poor countries is being displaced by subsidized imports. That dumping must stop. Protectionism is also condemnable. It is a form of selfishness of the rich countries by refusing products from poor countries and get access to their markets. What is needed is about regulating the market in such a way that only products that poor countries need can be exported. Currently a substantial part of the imports of rich countries from developing countries consists of raw or hardly processed raw materials such as crude oil, iron ore, minerals, grains, soybeans, etc. This must stop. So no more imports of products that also grow in the rich countries are required from the poor countries, such as grains and soybeans that the rich countries use for their animal production.

At present, rich countries in three ways are disadvantaging poor countries. First, there is still ten times more money going from Africa to Europe than money going from Europe to Africa, partly due to the debt burden of Africa. Second, the rich countries have protected their own market in the past and are now pushing for free trade. As a result, the poor countries do not get the chance to build their economy. Third, the poor countries make a substantial contribution to the world's biodiversity, while the West hardly contributes to this. It is therefore time for the rich countries to give something back to the poor countries.

The increase in the US dollar money supply has accelerated sharply since the 2008 crisis, with a huge increase in 2020.
Indeed, the Fed has just increased the money supply by $3 trillion since March 2020.

This endless monetary inflation prevents the stabilisation of the world economy.
Worse still, it is making the ultra-rich ever richer, while the poor are living in increasingly difficult conditions.

Since money can be printed in unlimited quantities, governments take advantage of this to borrow more and more money. The current system is built on this notion of debts that never stop growing.

Money is being created when someone is taking a loan. With interrest banks are asking more money in return than created. So it is impossible to fully repay our debts the only thing to do is lending even more money to repay.

Find out how we do it different with our innovative 2local system. https://2local.in/

Cryptocurrencies of 2local
An alternative to our unstable money system and an incentive for local and sustainable initiatives through cashback

Our market system has shortcomings. Regional governments / democracies cannot cope with internationally operating companies. Moreover, international banks cannot be tackled by national governments. The international intertwining of governments, international banks and multinationals means that inequality continues to exist worldwide and irreparable environmental and climate damage is caused worldwide. That is a major shortcoming of our economic system. In my Blog ""Get started!"" I explained that we can break through this so-called COMBI-Complex, i.e. the Complex of gOvernments, Multinationals, and Banks that operate Internationally, with cryptocurrencies of 2local and a cashback for local and sustainable products. In this Blog I will discuss our deficient money system and show that 2local cryptocurrencies are an alternative to this and that multinationals are put on sidelines by the 2local cashback system that stimulates local and sustainable initiatives. Governments will also see the benefits of this innovative cryptocurrency system..

Our monetary System shows a lot of failures. Money creation is done by private companies, namely by the banks. Money is created by making debts. Banks determine who will initially receive this money for what and under what conditions. They then tax it with interest. Debts must be repaid and interest must be paid on top of that. This is only possible with economic growth. The question is how long this can continue, given the pace at which we are exhausting the raw materials and consumables on Earth. To stop environmental pollution and climate change, we will also have to limit economic growth. In finite world, continuous economic growth cannot exist without crashes.
At the moment people are forced to deposit money with the commercial banks, with the result that they are at risk. Everyone who has money in the bank invests in banks, whether he / she wants it or not. This puts everyone who now has money in the bank at risk. In a bank run, the bank can go bankrupt..

Money creation is done by international commercial banks. This will irrevocably lead to two conflicts:
- conflict public - private; Banks are commercial institutions. The commercial banks want to make as much profit as possible and run great risks, for example by raising the total private debt far too high. These are now even higher than before the crisis. So, commercial parties are aimed at making a profit, while public interests are at stake. Money and payments, payment infrastructure, lending and financial stability, and monetary policy are a public task. Public interests are now managed by commercial institutions. That is inconsistent.
- conflict national - international; The banking sector has an oligopolistic position in the economy. The three largest banks currently own 75% of the financial sector. International banks have too much power, they cannot be called to order by national governments, which are responsible for public tasks. The size of the balance sheets of the three largest banks in the Netherlands has only increased since the crisis.

The financial system is unstable and reckless. It constantly leads to new crises. Banks do stupid things when supervision is insufficient. Then the system crashes, as we saw in 2008. Money is created by contracting debt. Debt holds us in a grip and puts the economy into stagnation. There is a large amount of debt that can no longer be paid. Then the problems are put to the public sector. And the system is about to burst. Suspended assets are sold to the ECB. This constantly leads to tensions, which regularly lead to crises. The money system dominated by banks falls short of service to society. It disrupts the market. It turns out to be out of control and leads to instability and inequality. This undermines society and democracy.

We must distinguish between:
1. Money creation, for example companies are financed by the banks. Businesses receive money from the bank, which the bank created out of thin air. The companies therefore have a debt to the bank. We must create money without being guilty.
2. Lending, based on market principles, is risky / risk-bearing. This includes that they can go bankrupt.

In order to grind the money system more stably and to function better, the ‘Our Money Foundation’ has put forward ideas that result in the need for a new bank that ensures that we can pay and save safely, and to set up a safe payment and savings bank. (digital sock). The money press should not belong to commercial parties., but serve public interest. The new bank has a kind of utility function and is part of the public sector. The bank makes it easy for us to transfer cashless funds, debit card payments and take advantage of and save all the digital conveniences without running any risks. It's about safe parking of money and free savings. Hoarding money is also not the intention, therefore we should offer the credits for the citizen for free, seen as a utility, but start to tax progressively from a certain amount.

An action by ‘Our Money Foundation’, in collaboration with the theater group ‘De Verleiders [The seducers]’ and writer / economist Ad Broere, has led to a citizens' initiative, a report by the WRR (Scientific Council for Government Policy), a motion by member of parliament Mahir Alkaya and various parliamentary debates. The public debate about the money system led to a broad consensus that there should be a safe alternative to the bank account, to allow account holders to freely choose whether or not to make their money available to banks, to increase the diversity in the banking landscape, forcing banks to behave more responsibly, to make the money system more manageable; and stabilize the money system.

The government, as well as the WRR in its report 'Money and debt' in January 2019, think that:
- banks are only needed to deal with savings and payments,
- the total amount of private debt is far too high,
- the large mountain of debt is causing instability and unbalanced economic growth
- the options for dealing with crises are limited and controversial
- instability is inherent in the financial system,
- there is an imbalance between public and private
- the combination of private activities and public functions creates permanent tensions, which are inevitable,
- the position of the citizen should be strengthened.

Although the government and the WRR largely agree with the criticisms, there are still no proposals to tackle this problem structurally. In June 2019, the Minister of Finance informed the House of Representatives that the cabinet sees insufficient reasons to set up such a bank itself.

Good ideas to change the monetary system, such as the 'Our Money Foundation' initiative with the establishment of a safe payment and savings bank, therefore have no chance and / or are adjusted so that they fit into the Combi complex, ie the Complex of gOvernments, Multinationals, and Banks operating Internationally.

The only thing the government is considering is to offer citizens the opportunity to open a cashless account with ‘De Nederlandsche Bank [Dutch Central Bank]’. The Dutch Central Bank can then offer payment accounts and also make it possible to save at The Dutch Central Bank. For this, the Dutch Central Bank and the European Central Bank must first agree. However, there are major objections to this, because The Dutch Central Bank is a banking supervisor and would therefore also become a supervisor of itself, which is of course not possible. Still, the Dutch Central Bank investigated the possibility of its own digital currency, following Facebook's plan to introduce its own crypto currency, the Libra. The government believes that the deposit guarantee (guarantee up to 100,000 euros) offers sufficient security to citizens. Moreover, the government believes that there are disadvantages to the ‘Alkaya system’, as it is also not safe, because in life there is nothing safe! In addition, rules are already set for banking. And, says the minister, suppose it is a success, the banks will pay for the costs of the public institution. The government therefore prefers to use controversial measures, such as interest rate cuts and bond purchases, and possibly even more controversial measures, such as monetary financing of government expenditure. The WRR says that containment of systemic risks will only work to a limited extent.

However, there is a solution:
Take the initiative together with the 2local platform. The 2local platform is an innovative blockchain powered loyalty platform using cryptocurrencies, which offers a cash back and a smart marketplace that connects local and sustainable companies and consumers. Payments can be made easily, cheaply, digitally and quickly, also internationally. The 2local platform has three key points:
1.   A cashback for local and sustainable products, by which people with less money also have access to sustainable products. This will increase sustainability and prosperity in the world;
2.   The cash back system is integrated in the own blockchain of 2local;
3.   The value creation of 2local is shared with people who actually use the cryptocurrencies of 2local.
