Abstract Today's economy benefits from barter networks recycling slow inventory of businesses in multilevel exchanges using 'alt-dollars,' in lieu of FIAT currency. These alt FIATs, printed and managed by centralized brokers, extend the life of member inventories, while relieving cash flow. In other words, members give time and material that move slow, for goods and gigs they can use now. A decentralized platform would enhance this process by eliminating brokers, fees and the collusion that affects supply, and therefore, pricing. With a dynamic map of all members, digital ledger and a reputation economic, we may compensate for eliminating brokers and upgrade the industry with blockchain while opening barter to millions of 'disruptive' gigs. By combining on one platform the facets of block chain, cryptocurrency, reputation rating schemes, barter networks, alt-dollars...we may eliminate fees, embraces Gigs and close on the last mile of social-economic where gigs may handle all needs in proprietary manner. Introduction In a second "shot heard around the world," Bitcoin took a stand for liberty against centralized corruption. So, it is ironic and a bit cryptic, that not long after Bitcoin launched, a plague of centralized exchanges formed. Centralization promotes collusion by a factor of human frailty. And collusion by just a few affects supply and therefore demand and pricing to all. Not to mention the diminutive effect on the entrepreneurs need to 'dance like no one is watching.' We have addressed collusion and privilege with anti-trust legislation; however, lackluster enforcement and cultural ambivalence has enabled bad actors to grow and chip away at the composition of free market until the banking crises of 2007 initiated this resurgence in decentralization. This crisis fomented as 'Big Banks,' reeling from a sub-prime lending crisis, argued they were too big to fail and received trillions in US aid that was used, in part, to buy out competitors in direct assault on the ideology democracy. Following this crisis, Big Boxes leveraged a pandemic to edge out "non-essentials," while 'Big Data' claimed a 'right to refuse service' in order to censor speech; and the Bitcoin revolution in decentralization got a new boost. Bitcoin, however, had become a security and there was no viable business model by any cryptocurrency to infiltrate commerce at B2B level. There are plenty worthy cryptocurrencies, however their lack of such a business plan thrust them on the same path to security-hood as Bitcoin. Decentralization utilizing a Business for Business Share platform answers this space. Combining Barter networks, Disruptives/Share platforms and Cooperatives is quite feasible. Barter has proven alt currency use and Disruptives and Co-ops share in a benefit of eliminating middlemen platforms that actually are collector-distributors of customers rather than part of the Share equation between Gig and customer. All elements for such a Decentralized B4B Share platform are currently in use. Barter networks, share platforms, open ledger, cryptocurrencies, ratings systems... all these may be uniquely combined as Business for Business (B4B) Share to eliminate middlemen and their fees. B4B Sharing This paper is on the procedure in creating a B4B Share platform to assimilate Barter, 'Share' and Cooperative markets and:
Particularly unique to this platform are:
A Blue Paper on the technologies utilized in this platform will be created after seed funding. The blue paper will provide particulars on:
This is a first in class upgrade for B2B, to B4B Sharing that utilizes a reputation economic in a charitable exchange to enhance business profitability with increased product lifespan. eBitome B4B Sharing also sustains heritage with supply while promoting 'gig industry' as a final step to a holistic economy of proprietor citizenry who also open source their own social benefits. eBitome A free B4B sharing platform where donating overstock with members develops reputation that translates into social benefits. This platform:
Introduced to the multi-billion-dollar Barter Industry, this platform would eliminate brokers, their fees (in excess of 15%), hidden accounts (they maintain for 'privileged' members) and barriers between networks themselves. Additionally, by making members their own broker with one map and no fee friction, this will promote more commerce. The proven model of Alt currency that Barter networks currently use, will apply to Disruptive businesses, such as Ride and Home Shares, that are highly regarded for the liquidity they offer. This merger of Disruptives and Barter will enable each to:
[This last mile is assisted by a conversion of Retail Reward Programs to create a scale of service akin to Amazon and Alibaba, as the process from sales to delivery are app based. In practice: A national hardware store has a policy to deliver additional paint to the home of a customer who discovers they are short. Using eBitome the additional paint is delivered by a rewards member of that hardware store who is in the vicinity. This 'Gig' is then paid/perked according to that store's program
Origin As a liquidator of luxury hotels, I purchased furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) that I sold, donated or traded on barter networks that charged me 16%. In 2010 a lady told me of 'a new thing her son was doing' called 'mining Bitcoin.' I looked into Bitcoin, but at the time the closest café accepting it was 3000 miles away, however... The 12% cash fee for bartering had met its silver bullet! In studying how to decentralize with Bitcoin, compelling advantages surfaced
Moving ahead a few years, AirBnB and Uber were disrupting established markets and adopting the title of Share Business, over Disruptives, to soften their image, when key points came to mind...
Serendipitously, while researching cooperative development utilizing public participation in 2007, I Copy Righted a paper on how to; fund production of film through public votes. The precursor to equity crowd funding as was Initial Coin Offerings, eBitome will use this as an Initial Exchange Offer (IEO) and take the steps to:
Adaption to eBitome is a short curve:
eBitome will utilize a few unique tactics for growth:
eBitome It Pays to Share
