About Us

The growing problem

We live in a time when our buying power is weakening and fear in the future of our economy is growing.

Household ability to maintain a descent living is threatened.

Cause and Effect:          CAUSE - The Economy and the Dollar is weak.

EFFECT - Exchange declines.

RESULT - Households are negatively affected.

CURE - Create and encourage exchange.

The solution to the problem

To overcome this downward spire it is necessary to encourage exchange.

1.      Bringing people together to share their skills and talents encourages exchange.

Networking - Bringing small businesses and people with skills together to trade.

Objective 1 - Any person with a mind and body has the ability to work. They have tradable skills that produce product or service whether they have established a business or not.

Objective 2 – By provided sources for the members to share and present their skills to increase opportunities of exchange.

2.      Building confidence in currency encourages exchange.

Strong Currency – create a strong currency

Objective 1 - People tend to think in terms of dollars. We must redirect our thinking to the value of the exchange and use the currency as the means to measure the exchange, not the motivator, for the exchange.

Objective 2 - Confidence in a currency must be high to see the currency as a means of trade. If confidence drops exchange naturally drops. Build confidence in the currency and the currency, as a measuring tool, increases and encourages exchange.

Objective 3 – Backing a currency with assets such as gold, silver, land, etc. provides a backup should confidence in the providers of goods and services begins to fail. Example: The United States government went off the gold standard in the 70’s and currently, confidence in the providers is falling and there is no standard (or Backing) to maintain its strength. Backing is crucial to establishing a strong currency.

Why the name Barter Buff and what is BEC?

Bartering is the simplest form of exchange. It is direct and tends to cause a buyer to trade based on first hand confidence in the value of their trade.

Currencies are a form of bartering that creates a broader exchange platform that is meant to help measure the exchange value, not determine it. Also, value is only maintained if the currency holds confidence and is strong.

The name Barter Buff is intended to help us remember the trade is about the exchange value not the tool we use to measure it.

Hence, BEC stands for ‘Barter Exchange Currency’ to remind us that a trade should be on value not the currency. In Short Barter Buff & BEC offer an ‘Optional Market Cashless System of Trade’.

If the buyers and sellers can learn to rethink a trade in terms of the actual product exchange value they become aware that currencies are only a method of measuring value and that it is only effective if it is strong. To be strong currencies require backing by actual assets, providing security to the exchange. Therefore, currencies should measure the exchange value and secure it, not determine it.
