🚰Beverage Leviathan

Free Token Symbol: FBT

Goal/Mission

The goal of this Leviathan is to provide the whole world with enough beverage items (water, liquor, soda, water containers, etc.) by 2040. It works towards a world where those items are abundant and freely available to anyone.

Just like other Leviathans, this Leviathan prioritizes decentralized solutions, meaning instead of a big project to provide enough beverage for everyone, this Leviathan will always pick smaller projects that will generate the same amount of beverage together.

This is because, a centralized system is not very resilient and this Leviathan is meant to be resilient enough to still offer beverage abundance to the world even in case of war, natural disasters, or any dramatic event.

Why Join?

If you love water or drinks of any kind, you should join this Leviathan.

Items belonging to the Leviathan are kept with its members and go from member to member depending on who needs them and when. Members with the highest level of participation in the Leviathan are more likely to get an item they've requested for than those with a lower level of participation.

You participate by making regular deposits to the valuepools of the Leviathan, sharing items with the community, taking care of items you get from the community, and voting on proposals.

Acquisition Valuepool

This valuepool implements the concept of a distributed bar. A bar is basically a partner wall on this Leviathan's CanCan channel that contains at least one beverage item: water (bottles of water, wells, water containers, or any other water supply or water equipment), alcoholic drinks, soda, etc.

Any member of the valuepool can partner with the channel and post on his/her bar, items that fit in the beverage item category that he/she is willing to share with other members of the community.

Imagine having free access to an infinite supply of water, alcohol, soda, or any other type of beverage item and all you need to do is request what you need, provided you can show proof of trustworthiness or active participation in the community.

That's exactly what a distributed bar is and that's what this valuepool is creating.

A proof is anything that can get other members to trust that providing you access to beverage items from their respective bars actually helps the goal of the Leviathan. It can be:

• An NFT from the valuepool with enough funds locked under it to pay for the beverage item you're requesting for

• IOUs showing you've been providing beverages to other members

• A badge from an auditor testifying to your active participation, need for the beverage item, or your trustworthiness

• A good social credit that channels like Tontines can help you create

The more of each of these you have, displayed on your profile page, the higher your chances of getting an item from a bar that you've requested.

The valuepool uses its funds (which it constitutes from its members' deposits and sponsoring) to buy more beverage items which are then distributed to the members with respect to their needs. The decision on what to buy is made by the community through proposals and votes.

Its vested token is the Vested Acquisition Beverage Token (vaFBT) and its token is the Free Beverage Token (FBT)

Manufacturing Valuepool

This valuepool builds up bottegas in the beverage supply sector so they can help provide enough beverages to the world.

The valuepool also invests in the creation of tier 1 products (luxurious beverages) only available to members of the valuepool with an NFT in the 50th percentile and above. This creates an incentive to make more deposits into the valuepool and creates a model where the elites heavily subsidize the cost of non-luxurious beverages for everyday people.

This valuepool funds the creation of its bottegas using what we call an infinite investment strategy.

Infinite Investment strategy:

Step 1 - Valuepool uses X amount from its fund to create non-profit Y

Step 2 - Members of valuepool utilize non-profit Y's services/products and value Y at X+ amount

Step 3 - Y borrows X amount from a bank to reimburse valuepool but is still 100% owned by valuepool

Step 4 - Valuepool uses X amount to create a new non-profit Y2

Research Valuepool

This valuepool funds research efforts in the bottegas.

Beverage Bottegas

These are basically the renaissance Bottegas with a campus big enough to house experts and their students. They hold 10% experts in research & manufacturing of beverage items and 90% students. The role of the Bottegas is to help the Leviathan reach its goal as fast as possible.

Just like with universities, the objective of the experts is to transmit all their knowledge in the field to the students and the objective of the students is to become experts themselves.

Bottegas have comfortable residences for all their experts and apartment buildings for all their students. All utilities are provided free of charge to all residents of a Bottega.

Just like with a workshop, a Bottega has working spaces, factories, labs, and any other necessary infrastructure where both students & experts work on real beverage projects which are essentially how the experts transmit their knowledge to the students. There are no classes or actual classrooms nor are there any exams or grades. Students' performances are evaluated on the work they do, just like with employees in a tech company.

Both experts or students can get replaced by other experts who are not yet members of the Bottega but prove capable of contributing at a higher level to the Bottega.

How do Bottegas sustain themselves?

Businesses or individuals submit Bottegas, manufacturing, or research orders in the beverage's space and Bottegas also manufacture and sell items in the beverage space. All the money generated by Bottegas goes to the Leviathan which uses it to sustain them, create new Bottegas, buy items for its members, or invest in other non-profits.

Bottegas put roughly half of their efforts into completing submitted orders and the other half working on projects intended to provide enough beverage items to the world.

Tenure

Each expert is responsible for a group of students even if students can still learn from other experts.

After 7 years in a bottega, experts can submit proposals to the manufacturing/research valuepool to get tenure. The more students experts help advance, the higher their chances of getting a favorable vote from the Leviathan's community.

For an expert, getting tenure means having permanent expert status in any Bottega of this Leviathan. Students can become experts and then get tenure as well.

Vision

There will be as many Bottegas as needed in each country around the world to provide each one of those countries with better, cheaper, and ultimately free beverages.
