OKCash WhalesTypically, when someone refers to a "whale" of a coin, its from a position of uncertainty. A Whale represents large holders of a currency who have the large potential of causing change in the market. Some communities have taken this phrase to the next level. Look at the Dash Whales (
https://www.dashwhale.org/) They work together to propose, select, and fund projects that can expand the coin, enhance the coin, or make the world a better place.
A few of us who have been around OKcash now for awhile, have already been doing this behind the scenes. We promote with our twitter accounts, our reddit accounts, bitcointalk, you name it, were finding a way to use it to get OKcash out there!
We have been presented a project that will return on investment in about 6 months. It creates a positive change within a community. It also has the potential to scale up and not only be continually more profitable, but greatly expand the reach of OKCash.
The project?OKCash will be working with the Sierra Leone Liberty Group. The OKCash Whales will be providing captial to purchase much needed tools, and possibly expand lands to monetize the growing pepper market in Sierra Leone (SL)
Right now they have raised $140, and their goal is $750. I would like to provide them with $660 USD to take them to $800. $800 represents one person in SL Gross Domestic Product. We have the chance to help these hard working individuals achieve their dreams, provide for their families,
return on investment, and potentially expand scale.
Why is OKCash considering this?OKCash is the social currency. OKCash promotes social responsibility, and we don't mind making a dollar too if we can help our community grow. The SL team is eager to get local businesses to start accepting OKCash. We are already looking at possibly starting another project with their team, to do just this. This enables hard workers to plant and grow peppers to be sold in the market. Harvest will take at least 6 months from when we can get them rolling.
Why OKCash Whales, and not just continue doing community drives?We want you to be recognized for your contributions to the OKCommunity. We discuss the economics on slack, and pay each according to our desire in the project, and our abilities. This may include private sale from time to time as members sit heavy on OK vs BTC and vice versa at times. When we have projects like the above that will have a return, we need a simple way of coordinating that, and possibly provide liquidity to other whales seeking it.
If you are interested in donating please contact me via Bitcointalk or Slack. If you are not interested, thanks for taking the time to check this out. The OKCash Whales are always looking for new bright ideas
We have the opportunity to turn this...
