The Points Economy
Unlike fiat money which is an arbitrary store of value, points are pegged to rice or grains. This allows easier points-taxation, points-accounting and analytics, while eliminating the need for currency exchange.
Loyalty Points
These are points given by businesses to their customers to incentivize repeat purchases. This is used to 'train' people in the use of points
Donation Points
These are points used for donations and relief. We use this primarily to incentivize [food rescue](https://circle.pantrypoints.com) and plastic waste collection to realize a moneyless circular economy
Exchange Points
These are points for barter transactions. Unlike social points which do not seek something in return, trade points do. This is the foundation of Points-banking
Investment Points
These are exchange points designed to spur investments when money is lacking. This requires the other point-types to be working beforehand.
Insurance Points
These are exchange points for long term claim, upon old age. We implement this as social insurance in case money-based insurance becomes oppressive
Energy Points
These are exchange points for electricity, usually from biomass sources. This incentivizes waste segregation and is part of the circular economy
Money Points
These are exchange points paid in money to reduce existing trade points balance
Tax Points
These are points given by businesses to their customers to incentivize repeat purchases. This is used to 'train' people in the use of points
