Rethinking Money, Rethinking SPURT

Image
In his book, Rethinking Money, New currencies turn scarcity into prosperity,   by Bernard Lietaer and Jacqui Dunne, the authors are showing that there are more than 4000 Complementary currencies in the world, that is, those he knows. They are showing that cities in Brazil, Belgium, the USA, to name a few, using several complementary currencies, for example, in Denver, are of immense help for the community. You see it also with the Timebank, with hundreds of Timebanks all over the world. The fact that a currency is staying in the community, instead of leaving the community to big cities or online buying, is the main value. The circulation of the currency is making the value of the currency for the community. This book is a must-read for all who want to use SPURT to make their community a better place, perhaps even combined with the SPURT-Timebank . Why are we coming back to the USE of SPURT, instead of just cashing out? Because the USE of SPURT gives the value to SPURT, even i...

Faith and SPURT

Revised 2019-11-25 In his book, Rethinking Money: How New Currencies Turn Scarcity into Prosperity , Bernard Lietaer is showing the value of Complementary Money. There are, he writes, more than 4000 Currencies, locally used, to boost communities. It is a valuable book to understand what also SPURT can mean for your community, especially when you use it in combination with the Timebank . We know that most of our clients in the Western World are interested in only one thing, and that is exchange into their own fiat currency. For that to happen, we need to work with others, like people who can connect us to the blockchain system. As we told in the last Newsletter, we are connecting to those people. Yes, it takes much longer as we hoped. Perhaps all comes down to FAITH. Can they believe that we will do all we can to support them? Do we have faith that they keep their promises? Do we have faith in other parties working hard to get exchange possibilities, for you know we are not only dep...

HOPE

Image
Having hope propels us to achieve our dreams and drives us forward toward our pursuits. It also keeps us afloat when everything seems to go wrong when we feel that we're drowning. Hope is the light at the end of the tunnel, the northern star by which we navigate our lives through trials and difficulties towards our dreams of a better day. When we lose hope, we are like a rudderless ship being tossed about without direction. Having and finding hope, then, is essential for keeping our dreams upright and continuing to sail in the direction of their attainment.   Source Hello MySPURT clients Today it is time to connect to you again. It is not easy to connect to you for we do not have the information you want to hear. We had, in the past weeks, two times people who wanted to “help” us to get SPURT exchanged. In both cases, they send us unacceptable conditions without any guarantees of the outcome. You might understand that we cannot sign such documents. But it is not so that ...

The Power of Unreasonable People

MySPURT Newsletter  Hello dear friends Did you read the book, “The Power of Unreasonable People", by John Elkington and Pamela Hartigan? As I was thinking on what to write to you, I realized that what we are doing is something other people might not even realize. “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” George Bernard Shaw Some of the people we work with are called crazy. They are said to be dreamers. They are working many years already with a minimum of income. Their whole families “suffer” because they have the drive to be unreasonable, to NOT adapt to the world. They want to change our world. They do not want to adapt to the debt pitfall. They do not believe that it is okay when only a few people can earn a lot of money. They are using the system we live in and want to turn it into profit for all of us. Is that easy? No, for sure ...

The INTENTION of creating SPURT

Image
Newsletter September 29, 2017 “Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.” -William A. Foster Did you ever think of  why SPURT was created? With everything that is created there needs to be an intention. Your intention is the cause and what you see in the outside world is the effect of this intention. The intention of creating SPURT was the strong conviction that there is abundance in nature, in creation. WHY are people not experiencing abundance in their daily life. They can see it in nature, the grass is growing and the tree never suddenly thinks, this year I will have 20% fewer leaves.  Why do we experience lack? Why have so many people, more and more people, a difficult life? If there is abundance everywhere, even in our financial world, why don’t you and I not experience that? This thought was for ...
