Chapter 8 - how to quit using money to increase its value yes I know it's crazy right do away with it to increase its value here's how

Dear Sharks,

The value of money today is effectively stuck at its starting point—it began at a fraction of a cent and, despite all the financial engineering, it hasn't truly grown in real value. If anything, without drastic shifts, it risks going negative. This is because money has become an abstract token in a Monopoly-like game where no one truly wins. People value money differently, and it often sits idle, losing purchasing power instead of facilitating real wealth creation.

Here's the core problem:

Money is no longer tied to tangible value. It floats detached from the goods and services it's supposed to represent. This disconnect leads to inefficiency, speculative bubbles, and a system that rewards hoarding rather than productive exchange.

The solution is to move money back into an inventory-based system—to treat money like inventory that is actively used in trade, just as it was in early economies. When money is tied directly to goods and services, it regains real value and creates a cycle of productive wealth building.

Why Inventory Turnover Ratio Matters

The inventory turnover ratio measures how quickly a business sells and replaces its stock. A high turnover ratio means efficient inventory management, strong sales, and rapid cash flow. Investors value this highly because it signals operational strength, minimizes holding costs, and reduces risks of obsolete inventory.

Conversely, a low turnover ratio indicates overstocking, weak sales, and tied-up capital, which increase costs and lower business valuation.

Efficient inventory turnover reduces waste, improves supply chain performance, and enhances overall business valuation by demonstrating agility and profitability.

How This System Makes Everyone More Money

By linking money to actual goods and services, you avoid the endless cycle of speculative money games and create a system where value is tangible and real.

This approach keeps money circulating within communities and businesses, improving cash flow and reducing waste.

Real-world examples such as complementary currencies and trade exchanges (like Sardex in Italy or the WIR Bank in Switzerland) show that inventory-backed systems boost local economies, increase trust, and generate sustainable profits.

Modern technology can overcome traditional barter inefficiencies, making inventory-based trade systems practical and scalable.

The Current Monopoly Game vs. Inventory-Based Trade

Feature Current Monopoly System Inventory-Based Trade System

Value Basis Abstract, policy-driven Tangible goods and services

Wealth Creation Indirect, speculative Direct, through productive trade

Stability Vulnerable to inflation/speculation Stable, transparent

Efficiency High transaction volume, low real value High value, low waste

Community Impact Value leaks out Value recirculates locally

What's in It for You, Sharks?

Higher business valuations: Companies with strong inventory turnover are more attractive to investors due to efficient operations and reliable cash flow.

Lower risk: Fast-moving inventory reduces storage costs and the risk of losses from unsold or obsolete goods.

Sustainable growth: Profits are backed by tangible assets and real customer demand, not just financial speculation.

Real value creation: This system shifts the focus from playing financial games to building genuine wealth through productive exchange.

In Summary

Our current monetary system is a zero-sum game where money's value erodes as it sits idle. By moving money back into an inventory and trade-based system, we restore its true purpose: facilitating real, productive exchange. This rebuilds value, enhances cash flow, reduces waste, and leads to higher business valuations and sustainable profits.

This is not just theory—complementary currencies and trade exchanges prove it works. It's time to stop playing Monopoly and start building real wealth.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to showing you how this system can make you and your investments truly richer.

Best regards,

Ps.

They say, "Be kind," but life's no breeze—

Sometimes it's more like stormy seas.

Ellen zipped off to England's shore,

Where kindness comes with tea—and scones galore.

She tossed her tantrums, made a scene,

Spilled Earl Grey on the royal green.

But where was kindness, truly found?

Not in a selfie, not in a crown.

Behind the cameras, off the reel,

Real help's the thing we ought to feel.

Forget applause and studio lights—

Try kindness in your sweats at night.

We cheer for gorillas, shout "Go, go!"

But freeze when real change starts to show.

"Keep things the same!" we cry and cling—

But pockets jingle when change takes wing.

We'll donate coins to panda bears,

But side-eye neighbors' stares and glares.

We'll hashtag "love" for all to see,

Then honk at grandma crossing free.

So here's a thought to light your day:

Kindness isn't just a play.

It's real, it's raw, it's off the stage—

Not just a line on Ellen's page.

If you want change that truly sticks,

Don't wait for cameras or quick flicks.

Be the thing that breaks the mold—

A rare collectible, brave and bold.

And if you throw a tantrum, sure,

Make it UK-sized, pure and pure.

Go full Shakespeare, throw your tea,

Yell "Exit, stage left!" dramatically.

But after storms and drama's end,

Kindness is the real best friend.

So next time you want to make a fuss,

Try kindness first—no need to cuss.

Because kindness isn't just for show,

It's what you do when no one'll know.

So channel Ellen, or maybe not—

Just be the friend the world forgot.

And if you must, go toss your tea—

But clean it up, then pour for me!
