The former PayPal people behind Initiative Q are attempting to create a new payment system!
Here’s why it merits your assessment:
Initiative Q is not,
in any way,
a cryptocurrency.
But it might just be
the new Bitcoin.

Is Initiative Q
The New Bitcoin?
Instead of credit cards, of 1950’s design vintage, Initiative Q will use its own currency, the Q.
Saar Wilf, founder of Initiative Q
Founders include Saar Wilf, founder, Fraud Sciences, acquired by PayPal in 2008 & George Mason University economics professor Lawrence H White.
It is not a get rich quick scheme and I think that’s where people get confused.
You have to reach critical mass if you want to create a currency and that is what we’re trying to do.
The world needs a better payment system. We are glued to its existing infrastructure & the only other option is cryptocurrency, which I don’t believe answers the real problems.
Crypto – like all currency – has built its value based on trust but is decentralised from government. It circumvents the systems, which I think most people realise can be as bad as it can be good. We want Q to become mainstream & that’s why we give it away for free to those willing to promote it.
Saar Wilf, founder of Initiative Q, in Forbes, Leila London contributor, Is Initiative Q The New Bitcoin?
There is no value in anything until people adopt it, so our strategy was incredibly clear. Building trust was and will always be our biggest challenge, but we will never abuse it. Our plan is to comply with regulations but make everything far more efficient than it is now.
We want to make all financial processes both easier and faster. We want people to be able to pay for a meal like they would an Uber. To use artificial intelligence to allow families & businesses to share accounts. To have an international currency that can be traded & shared without the ill-equipped processes that are currently in place & cost so much time & money. We want to use technology to trade smarter & more secure.

Tomorrow’s currency.
Are you in the Q?
To get people to start using the system once it's ready, Qs are being allocated free to people that sign up now.
The amount drops as more people join.
So better join early.
Signing up is free.
Initiative Q only asks for your name & email address.
There's nothing to lose.
But, if this payment system becomes a world leading payment method your Qs can be worth a lot.
If you missed getting bitcoin

you wouldn't want to miss this.

Thank you. @SteemitBoard
And WE are supposed to trust Pay Pal? LOL
Do you know how many millions of dollars they have either stolen or frozen from people???
InitiativeQ involves trusting PayPal in the same way that you would trust LinkedIn, SpaceX, Tesla, Palantir, Founders’ Fund, Michelle.
Do you know where their founders worked earlier? @ourfreesociety
I don't trust LinkedIn, I don't know what SpaceX, Palantir or Founders' Fund is, & Tesla I don't know enough about him to make a solid judgment.
I try never to speak about things I know nothing or very little about
Damm, these emojis are also too big.
Do you know where I can find just normal tiny emojis we use like in FB, Thunderbird, etc.?
Thanks
The PayPal mafia
Emojis
LOL, nooo, sorry. I mean for my PC. I don't use phones to do computer work.
And this is for steemit, so they have to be images, but yes, the size you'd find on your phone.
Thanks
Does this help? @ourfreesociety?
yeh I already searched for emojis. There's very few free ones & the ones I got are HUGE : (
Thanks
