# Tokenomics for Milady Community Token: A Proposal By [Roderick Fruht](https://paragraph.com/@chthonic) · 2022-06-27 --- I present the following as a proposal for the Tokenomics of the Milady Community Token, which was introduced earlier today and raised $40k seed funding in under an hour. Despite this early enthusiasm, some questions did arise about the usability of the token, specifically the level of integration with the overall mission of the Remilia Collective and the creation of “use cases.” As such, I provide this document as a proposal for the Tokenomics of the Milady Community Token. **Authors Note**: I am generally unfamiliar with the world of finance, blockchain, and crypto in general, so I spent over 25 minutes reviewing other Tokenomics papers to gather ideas. I was especially interested in a coin called Terra and Luna, which had some really exciting ideas that spurred my imagination and showed me the true power of the blockchain. While I still don’t understand everything, I think I’ve read enough to know that if you want to be successful, you’re going to have to set yourself apart. To that end, I offer this proposal (and please note it is just a proposal, I have no formal relationship with the Milady Community Token or its founders) as a means to set this token apart. WAY apart. Alright, here we go: ### Milady Community Token Tokenomics Proposal 27 Jun 2022 Roderick Früht It’s morning in America, and what was once a thriving nation of entrepreneurs, engineers, and fanatics has now receded into a blind hypnotized submission. The dairy cows are no longer being milked, there are no dairy cows at all. Imagine now, you are on a farm. Imagine now, if you will, wind chimes gently clanging against one another singing their mournful song, pan now with the camera of your mind past a rocking chair in a ghostly perpetual motion on the front porch. Now through the front door our mind camera goes, gazing upon the dusty furniture not sat upon in years, a curled edge of a picture frame so muted by time the faces have become blurred thumbprints, and finally now into the kitchen. Amidst all of the atrophy and rust, there is a pristine table with four plates, perfectly set, untouched by time. > The words on the screen appear: “We invite you to sit.” > Fade to Black > Now appears before you on the movie screen of your mind: > “Milady Community Token: A Story of Trust” Let us now enter **The Tokenomics Zone**. * * * The usage of the Milady Community Token can be summed up in one word: _interesting_. What if we did the one thing with this token that no one else in the business was willing to do? What if we pulled back the veil and told you the one Oedipal truth that always hides behind mommy whenever someone comes asking? **What if we told you that there was absolutely no purpose to this token?** What would happen if we told you that? Would you _freak out_? > Fade to black > Words appear on screen: “Don’t Freak Out.” > An orbicular golden image beings to materialize, it is the Milady Community Token, spinning in an _angelic_ perpetual motion (to stand in thematic contrast to the rocking chair from before). I mean sure, it would probably behoove us to pretend that there was some reason for making this coin. Or that there is some big “prize” for buying it. We might even want to insinuate that holding this token will allow you to have some “special level of access” to the Milady community - VIP rooms, one-to-one’s with Charlotte, a free subscription to Seed Oil Streaming+, all manner of special features and add-ons for your Milady pfp, etc., etc. But the truth is that **none of that is going to happen**. And we’re sort of tired of even suggesting that. Let’s try something different. Let’s try throwing away everything about a normal Tokenomics document - the staking, the project contributions, the exchange of value - let’s throw away all that bullshit for just a few. Now imagine instead that we just embraced the fact that this token had **no value**. And now let’s embrace the fact that this token has **unlimited value**. What would that look like? I’m not talking about a mindset, I’m talking about a way in which we could truly demonstrate a commitment to a value-less token while at the same time running up the fucking score on its price. How could we do this? Well that comes down to whether or not you actually believe in A. Network Spirituality Buying this token is an act of faith. It is the ultimate “field of dreams.” You must actually believe that “if you buy, it will come.” If you do not believe this, then do not buy the token. B. Post-Authorship If you buy this token, you must submit to the idea that you are not buying it for yourself. What does this mean? > Fade to black > Words appear on screen: “What does this mean?” What if we used this token to standardize a sort of _financial_ pseudonymity? What if we used this token to harness chaos into something beautiful? What if we could make this token _more meaningful_ by _fully embracing its meaninglessness_? At this point you’re probably worried that I am teetering on the brink of some real “mumbo-jumbo.” Have no fear, I’m about to make this dream very real. Allow to me to introduce the most radical feature of the Milady Community Token: **Payments with the Milady Community Token will never go to the intended recipient.** …Instead, they will go to a random Milady. Let me say that again: if you, the Milady buyer (person A), purchases a $295 Balenciaga hat from a Milady seller (person B), at the point of submitting/processing that payment, the money will go to another randomly generated Milady wallet (person C) not involved in the original transaction. > Fade to black > Words appear on screen: He said whaaaaat? Now you may scoff at what I’ve just said. You may wonder why anyone would ever purchase anything with this arrangement. You might laugh at the mere _suggestion_ of it. You might say, “who would be stupid enough to accept a payment that won’t even go to them?” But let me ask you this question instead: “who would be stupid enough to _not_ use a token that would randomly pay them multiple times a day for doing absolutely nothing at all?” How would this financial system be maintained? Wouldn’t there need to be a constant cycle of purchasing to sustain an enclosed economy such as this? Yes there would. Well who the hell would buy into any economy in which money is not appropriately transferred from a buyer to an intended seller? (you may ask) To answer this question, I direct you to research the history of the Milady and its consistent anti-fragility in the face of chaos. * * * The Milady Community Token is a mathematical representation of Network Spirituality that can be monitored in real-time. It shows the movement not only of our desires, but also of our love. We buy into it freely, like throwing coins into a wishing well that we can only _wish_ to get back. Meanwhile, the token encounters the next rung of pseudonymity: letting go of the authorship of our purchases and our money. Where our money emerges from and where it goes is not something that we should be personalizing anymore. It’s really not up to us. The more we can give ourselves over to this notion, the more the Network will break through the dark soil and grow upward toward the sun We water this token the way that we water our plants on the windowsill. But windowsill plants can be fussy. Sometimes they need more water, sometimes less. Sometimes they whither for no reason, sometimes they have to fight a little just to prove that to themselves that they can survive. Sometimes they need to feel the sun on their face, sometimes they need to hide away from the sun altogether while they remember who they are: just a plant. just nobody at all. just happy to be alive. If that last paragraph seems like a joke to you, I urge you to NOT buy Milady Community Tokens. * * * This project raised $40,000 in 40 minutes. It wasn’t even difficult. It had milady stamped on it and so nothing more was needed. Think of how much power could be unleashed in 40 hours, or days, or years? Unlimited. We feed this power with the token. We love the token. We need the token. We give away the token. We are happy to find it again. We are happy to give it away again. It’s all good. Unfortunately that’s all that can be said before veering into the territory of bullshit. Thank you for considering your purchase of the Milady Community Token * * * _Disclaimer: this was a work of speculative fiction and in no way represents a real financial plan. Right? Right. …Right.
