I am working on a health related website (I can't code, got help) with some herb mixes for various ailments and was going to start advertising by the end of this year. Being a big fan of EMC2 and a bit of a science buff, idea was to start talking to devs here and see how I could accept the coin as payment for the said herbs and even direct advice with my supplier who is a bio-chemist.
Not going just for a sales front but to directly link folks .. well .. all over the world I guess with ancient remedies and herbs instead of popping pills.
Margins are high enough and investment low that I could even hold EMC2 I receive instead of just dumping to exchange, like most merchants tend to do. edit: while making coffee thought I could even make a new wallet for those sales and publish it to show EMC 2 is accumulating from sales of my 'erbs. Then could donate profits to EMC2 backed project (after expenses - I am an accountant after all).
a lot of coins are backing themselves with another commodity in order to create value, such as URO and one of the cannabis coins.
what if emc2 was backed with science teaching power ? let's say 10,000 (arbitrary) emc2 could be redeemed for an hour of tutoring, or group instruction, or a demonstration of a tesla coil......
teachers/tutors would of course be recruited from the emc community and reimbursed expenses, and maybe even paid a small fee....
the emc foundation could even donate some coin to schools to be used to hire said instructors. and a little market would be created for emc in teaching services....
just idle thursday night speculation.
Two really good ideas
