The need to address social, economic, and environmental issues is today even more pressing than it was in 2007. SCOPE created the SPADES Token to be a means for helping to fund these sorts of projects and to provide a private oversight organization dedicated to most efficiently meeting the goals.

Information Age tools can relieve pressure on people and the environment. Achieving this will require a common global community where even the poor can create digital wealth where value is created from human elements of creativity (music, words, art, marketing) rather than by exploitation of natural resources.

An environmental and economic system is needed where one can shoot a lion video instead of shooting a lion, and still provide wealth for their family earned by digital sales and licensing.

It is our intention to support developing world users in conjunction with the charities our platform supports.  Our first ACCESS POINT project is scheduled to open in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, in 2022.

All the Founding Members of the Spades Token Project, and the managing entity SCOPE, have been working for years in a variety of ways to better the conditions in which we live.

Age changes are not easy, when humanity transitioned from the Agricultural Age to the Industrial Age we first experienced a “Dark Age”, but once we figured it out a Renaissance period followed.

The same is true today, as we move from the Industrial Age to the Information Age, we may experience some anxiety (especially older folks), but in the end we can come out the better for it.

If we come to realize that ages are defined by their economic models, then the advent of digital currencies can be properly directed to address some of our most pressing issues.

The hunter and gatherer age used barter as an economic model, the agricultural age gold and silver, the industrial age fiat currencies controlled by governments, and now in the information age, we have Defi and cryptocurrencies that are shifting power to the individual.  Please, don’t be left behind, we are here to help everyone (who will listen & participate) through this transition. 

This is a monumental change that few have truly grasped the significance of yet.  Soon enough, you may need to use a retailers own coin to purchase from that retailer.  This is the natural evolution of currencies.

Instead of currency being localized, with people having minimal if any choice in what currency they use (not to mention how inflation is contrlled by the currencies controlling body), in the Information Age people of like mind, value, and culture can exchange with their own chosen “community” currency, and they will. 

Community currencies allow for circulation in that community’s economy, and if done correctly it will increase the shared wealth among the community members. 

Cryptocurrencies can (and in some cases are) being utilized as community currencies.  We have been preparing for this for over 15 years, and the SPADES Community was created as a non-profit simply to help humanity through this transition.

What purpose any coin or token was minted for, and what happens with the proceeds from the release of the coins/tokens defines the purpose of that currency.  Our purpose is to subsidize this platform, it would go broke otherwise, as we don’t mine or sell your data. We exist only to serve the needs of people experiencing the greatest shift in history.  When profits are made from Token sales on exchanges, or through our site, the proceeds go to the non-profit (SCOPE) that created this site, not individuals.

We invite you to participate in our SPADES community and hope you will choose to join the cause. We will do our best to develop community applications, programs for wealth building, and specific projects to allow greater access to those in the developing world so that they can lift themselves out of poverty.

You give a person not a fish, but a fishing pole, if you truly want to provide them with a dignified way to live a more prosperous life.

Thank you for your time in reading this, we will provide you with a few links below for those who want to peruse a bit more of the history; and here is one last video, asking you to consider the transition to the Information Age.
