TAP Stipend

Smart Question 00238:

TAP Response 00238:

In the TAP world, all living citizens are given the exact same amount of money at the “alpha” of each economic cycle. This money and its amount is constant and never changing across all time. It’s referred to as the TAP Stipend.

Smart Question 00239:

TAP Response 00239:

The stipend absolute amount is NOT critically important. It totally depends on the total amount of TAP currency in circulation each cycle. But the total currency is actually based on the stipend amount - as every living human being, at the alpha, is given the same exact stipend. To answer this question, first, a unit of currency must be declared. This is called the “TAP $.” It still does not matter how many TAP $s are given each citizen - as with any digital currency fractions can easily be created. So whether it is 100 TAP s or 1000 or 1 million that is assigned as the stipend amount - it does not really matter. A TAP case will be created to establish this amount and together ALL TAPPERS will co-create the absolute value. Until this day maybe we, for now, simply temporarily say - the stipend is 1000 TAP $s.

Smart Question 00240:

TAP Response 00240:

In the TAP world, everything naturally finds relative value - all based on the very stable currency and money system established with TAP. New things emerge and find relative value and old unnecessary and obsolete things dissolve away or become so high or low in value that they get little or no attention. So think of pricing or the cost of things as being very free-market based, but also much more controlled by their physical-world attribute limitations along with their need or necessity in civilization and life.

Smart Question 00241:

Understanding that there exist limits to almost everything within the economic system, who gets what?

TAP Response 00241:

First separate in your mind the valuable economic things that already exist vs. the things that must be created anew. The TAP economy is all about maximizing efficiency and minimizing wastefulness, so utilizing, reusing and maintaining what already exists is key to both these primary objectives. Imagine a world where building more robust, more efficient things is the norm. No longer is built-in obsolescence a viable economic solution option. People want robust vs. things that fail soon or require lots of maintenance. Also people do not care about human-being based jobs. It’s better in the TAP world for computers, robots and machines to do better/faster/cheaper work than humans - who are more useful doing more creative work. But this question of who gets what comes down to economics and delivery on promises made within usage proposals that accompany cycle budgeting details. Those who promise greater efficiency, lower wastefulness, higher payment and more ongoing maintenance work - along with a proven track record of delivering on the promises - will get the specific or limited stuff with which to create their personal life with.
