7 Overall framework

“The UN leads human society into the metaverse, creating a digital earth. The specific plan to achieve self-rescue of the United Nations, self-seeking of humanity and self-rescue of the earth”, we call it “Famland New Economic Plan”. This plan, in the final analysis, is not a unique innovation or invention, nor is it a product of brainstorming or wishful thinking. It is actually an improved fusion of the digital currency mining mechanism, AMM trading mechanism and NFT game mechanism that already exist in the blockchain digital economy market. These economic mechanisms have a large number of successful cases. The successful cases of mining mechanism are of course BTC, ETH, EOS and so on. The successful cases of AMM mechanism are Uniswap, Aave, sushi and so on. The NFT mechanism has Mana, Axs, Flow and so on.

Since Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin white paper in 2008 and the first BTC came out in 2009. Cryptocurrencies, as well as the blockchain technology behind them, have entered human society for 15 years. To date, most people still do not realize what the fundamental value and significance of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are. Even many internationally renowned figures, such as Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett , New York Federal Reserve Bank President William Dudley , Societe Generale Group Chairman Lorenzo Bini Smaghi , New York Federal Reserve Bank President William Dudley , Credit Suisse CEO Tidjane Thiam , Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan , former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke , UBS Group CEO Sergio Ermotti , BlackRock Financial Management CEO Larry Fink , Bridgewater Fund Co-Chairman and Co-Founder Ray Dalio , Oaktree Capital Co-Chairman Howard Marks , Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Charles Munger . And many Nobel laureates in economics, such as: New York City University Center Director Paul Krugman , Columbia University Professor Joseph Stiglitz , Yale University Professor Robert Shiller … and others are opponents of Bitcoin. They think Bitcoin has no value, is only a product of market speculation, or even a poor scam.

Why do so many bankers, investors and economists oppose Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies? Because cryptocurrencies and crypto assets represented by Bitcoin are not born for the real universe. Their value origin and value logic cannot be explained by traditional economics. Therefore, these well-known figures in the financial, investment and economic circles do not understand and oppose them. And blockchain, Web3, crypto assets, these new concepts and new technologies are born for the metaverse. They are all experimental products and pioneers for human beings to create a new spiritual economy in the metaverse. However, due to the lack of a theoretical system for the metaverse new economy so far, these experimental products and pioneers have always shown a state of disorderly development. It makes people unable to see where their future lies, or even question whether they have a future?

To illustrate this problem, we still use the example of China’s New Democratic Revolution that we talked about earlier. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many local warlords emerged and divided up one side. They looked similar to the local forces of the late Qing Dynasty, but they were fundamentally different. The local forces of the late Qing Dynasty were at least nominally loyal to the court and obeyed the court. But warlords were not loyal to any other force or obey anyone. At this time, if we continue to use the feudal society’s thinking and consciousness to look at them, we naturally cannot understand or be optimistic about them. However, when Chiang Kai-shek launched the Northern Expedition with the goal of unifying China, he nominally incorporated most of the warlords in just two years. This shows that the birth of warlords was not for reforming or reconstructing the feudal old system, but for preparing for China’s future republican new government.

Subsequent facts show that the representative figures among the warlords of the Republic of China, like Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang, Cao Kun, and Zhang Zuolin, all played a greater influence on the development of modern China. Although these warlords, due to their historical limitations, generally had more negative than positive significance to Chinese society. However, it cannot be denied that there were some remarkable breakthroughs in economic development under the Beiyang warlords. For example, the legalization of government economic management, the legalization of enterprises and entrepreneurs, the liberalization and standardization of competition, and the socialization and nationalization of capital operation, etc.. All have had a profound impact on China’s modern development history.

At this stage, crypto digital currencies and crypto digital assets represented by Bitcoin, whether it is BTC, ETH, or BNB, TRX, or public chains, platforms and game projects such as Uniswap, Aave, Mana, Axs, Flow, etc., are similar to those local warlords in China back then. They do not know what their real mission is and where their future should go. They just try their best to survive, grow, and expand their territories and influence by their own instincts. Their state of survival is the same as that of the warlords of the Republic of China, the survival of the fittest, self-perpetuating, extremely primitive and barbaric means of survival, full of cruelty and bloodshed, speculative thinking and a sense of quick profit pervades the whole circle. Old projects are constantly dying and new ones are rising. Up to today, these crypto-digital assets have formed their own relatively stable interest patterns and spheres of influence in different segments and fields. This is also very similar to the warlords’ division in China back then. The warlords did not connect and cooperate deeply with each other, let alone integrate. However, the military power they held played a considerable role in the unification process of China later on.

And today’s blockchain crypto-digital economy, despite the fact that each segment and each field is separate and self-contained. However, it has also supported a special economy with a total market capitalization of over $1 trillion. The reason for calling it a “special economy” instead of a “new economy” is that this economy combines the multiple attributes of the old economy and the new economy, and is full of variables and uncertainties. It is a transitional product of the development of the old economy to the new economy. But even so, the volume of the economy they create is real. It is as real and as important as the military power in the hands of the warlords of the Republic of China back then.

As soon as the United Nations or any other emerging force with systematic ideological and theoretical support enters. Like the Northern Expeditionary War launched by Chiang Kai-shek of the Kuomintang back then, it will be possible to integrate the economic volume of this special economy into the new economic ecology in a very short time. Recognizing this, it is clear why the structure of Famland’s new economy has a mining model, a trading model, and a game model, and, by fusing these separate and non-interfering models, into an organic ecosystem. The purpose is to facilitate the United Nations to lead human society into the meta-universe, can quickly use the Famland New Economy to integrate the economic volume of special economies. Let the development of the new economy has a higher value starting point.

Here we devote a lot of space to the blockchain economy. Its fundamental purpose is to make the Secretary-General and global sages realize that the new economy to be built by the UN entering the metaverse and building a digital planet is not just a figment of the imagination or a mere paper plan. Its embryonic, transitional form of blockchain economy has long existed. Whether people believe it or not, recognize it or not, this economy has developed an economic volume that can be stabilized at more than a trillion dollars for more than 10 years, under self-generation and without unified management. And the value of such a fortune was created completely out of thin air, in a situation that does not rely on the real economy at all, simply by the consensus of the people. For the United Nations, even without this open letter, even without the planning and design of Famland’s new economy. As long as it can enter the blockchain economy, with the credibility and influence of the UN, it will undoubtedly be able to create a wider consensus as well. It would also be able to create a greater value than the current volume of this economy. Such value is already far beyond the upper limit of the amount of money that the UN can raise in the real universe.

Yes, the current blockchain economy has many problems, many drawbacks, and is not yet up to the task. But we can improve it, refine it, and make it regulated and mature. As we have explained in the middle part, the witness system of distributed “Belief” can be constantly self-tuned, self-balancing, self-correcting and self-evolving. At least, we can guide the existing blockchain economic system to this distributed witness system ecology, so that it can eventually take up the important task of helping the United Nations to solve the money problem, thus completing the United Nations self-help, human self-help and earth self-help. This is just like the Republican warlords who were not up to the task back then, but when the Kuomintang guided them to the great trend of republicanism led by the Three People’s Principles. They also eventually became an important historical force in helping the KMT to unify China in name.

The general framework for the design and planning of Famland’s new economy was constructed on the basis of the above perceptions. Therefore, it is not that Famland is necessarily successful just because it borrows from and incorporates several successful business mechanisms. Rather, it is that since Famland is a distributed self-organizing system, we can do better, more reliable and successful by self-grinding, self-coordination, self-balancing and self-correction based on the successful models that already exist. Create a larger economic volume than the current blockchain economies. This is also the basis of why the United Nations is able to guide human society to “print money for themselves and use the money they print” in the meta-universe.

In a nutshell, Famland’s new economic solution is a new economic solution that is guided by the theory of humanistic system thinking (the middle part), and is based on the successful models of existing blockchain economies, and is planned and designed in a new way, taking into account the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses. It avoids all the drawbacks of the existing blockchain economic model and breaks through all the limitations of the existing blockchain economic model to the greatest extent. The final formation of a healthy new economic ecosystem can be a virtuous cycle and sustainable development.

The core node of this solution, or the fundamental breakthrough point, is “Famland”. A new wealth of cross-civilizational NFT named “private territory”, or “Famland-NFT (FN)”. It is both an asset and a tool of production. In principle, it is the digital embodiment of the individual human soul and spirit in the metaverse. It is also the fundamental source of wealth, the fundamental source of value of the entire Famland New Economy program.

The “personal sovereignty (wealth sovereignty)” asset like FN is supposed to be the fundamental difference between the new economy of the meta-universe and the old economy of the real universe. However, so far, there is no trace of such assets in the existing blockchain economic forms and business models. This makes the wealth value of the existing blockchain crypto digital economy a sourceless water and a rootless wood. No matter how they improve and develop, it is difficult to avoid the fate of becoming a transitional product. In addition, without assets like FN, the new economy cannot achieve “universal equity” in the globalization pattern. The so-called “inclusive equity” means that everyone in the world can enjoy such equity. This is also the basis for building a global consensus and creating unlimited wealth and value. Obviously, neither Bitcoin, Ether, nor any other digital crypto assets have such a pattern and thinking. And of course, it is impossible to create such a foundation.

联合国引领人类社会打造数字地球的必要性和可行性(029)

— — 致联合国秘书长古特雷斯及全球贤达的公开信

7 总体框架

“联合国引领人类社会进入元宇宙,打造数字地球。实现联合国自救、人类自求和地球自救的具体方案”,我们称之为“Famland新经济方案”。这个方案说到底,也并不是什么独特的创新或发明,更不是什么拍脑袋、想当然的产物。它其实就是区块链数字经济市场上早已存在的数字币挖矿机制,AMM交易机制与NFT游戏机制的一种改良型融合。这几种经济机制都有大量的成功案例。挖矿机制的成功案例当然首推BTC,还有ETH、EOS都是。AMM机制的成功案例有Uniswap、Aave、sushi等。NFT机制则有Mana、Axs、Flow等。

自2008年中本聪发表比特币白皮书,2009年第一块BTC问世。加密资产,以及它背后的区块链技术,进入人类社会已经15年了。至今,绝大部分人依然没有意识到,加密资产和区块链技术,其根本性价值和意义究竟在哪里?甚至很多国际知名人士,像伯克希尔哈撒韦公司CEO Warren Buffett ,纽约联邦储备银行行长William Dudley,法国兴业银行集团主席Lorenzo Bini Smaghi,纽约联邦储备银行行长William Dudley,瑞士信贷CEO Tidjane Thiam,美国银行CEO Brian Moynihan,前联邦储备委员会主席Ben Bernanke,瑞银集团CEOSergio Ermotti,黑石金融管理公司CEO Larry Fink,桥水基金联合主席和联合创始人Ray Dalio,橡树资本联合主席Howard Marks,伯克希尔哈撒韦公司副董事长Charles Munger。还有很多诺贝尔经济学奖获得者,如:纽约市立大学中心主任Paul Krugman,哥伦比亚大学教授Joseph Stiglitz,耶鲁大学教授Robert Shiller……等人,都是比特币的反对者。认为比特币毫无价值、仅仅是市场炒作的产物,甚至认为是一场拙劣骗局。

为什么这么多银行家、投资家、经济学家反对比特币,反对加密数字货币。因为,以比特币为代表的加密数字货币,以及加密资产,根本就不是为实宇宙而生的。它们的价值本源、价值逻辑,用传统经济学是无法解释的。所以,这些金融界、投资界、经济界的知名人士才看不懂、才反对。而区块链、Web3、加密资产,这些新概念、新技术都是因元宇宙而诞生的。它们都是人类在元宇宙中,开创精神型新经济的实验品和探路先锋。然而,由于元宇宙新经济的理论体系至今没有问世,使得这些实验品和探路先锋,始终呈现一种无序发展状态。让人们无法看清它们的未来在哪里,甚至质疑它们还有没有未来?

为说明这个问题,我们还是以前面谈到的中国新民主主义革命为例。清王朝灭亡后,许多地方军阀拔地而起,割据一方。他们与晚清的地方势力看起来相似,但本质完全不同。晚清地方势力,至少在名义上还是效忠朝廷、听命于朝廷的。但军阀不效忠其他任何势力,也不听命于任何人。这时,如果继续用封建社会的思维和意识来看待他们,自然无法理解,更无法看好。可是,当蒋介石以统一中国为目标展开北伐后,短短两年时间就在名义上收编了大多数军阀。这说明,军阀的诞生,并不是为了改良或重构封建旧制,而是在为中国日后的共和新政做准备。

后来的事实说明,民国军阀中的代表人物,像袁世凯、段祺瑞、冯国璋、徐世昌、曹锟、张作霖等,都对中国近现代发展起到了较大影响。尽管这些军阀由于历史的局限性,总体来说,对中国社会的消极意义要大于积极意义。但无法否认的是,北洋军阀时期在经济发展方面,还是有一些令人瞩目的突破。比如政府经济管理法制化,企业和企业家法人化,竞争的自由化和规范化,以及资本运作的社会化和国有化,等等。都对中国近现代发展史有着深远影响。

现阶段,以比特币为代表的加密数字货币和加密数字资产,无论是BTC、ETH,还是BNB、TRX,或者Uniswap、Aave、Mana、Axs、Flow等公链、平台和游戏项目,都类似当年中国的那些地方军阀。它们并不知道自己的真正使命是什么,自己的未来应该向何处去?只是凭着自己的本能,尽力求生、尽力发展、尽力扩大地盘、扩大影响力。它们的生存状态,也与当年民国军阀一样,适者生存、自生自灭,求生手段极为原始、野蛮,充满着残酷与血腥,投机思维和急功近利意识弥漫在整个圈子中。不断有老项目死亡,也不断有新项目崛起。到今天为止,这些加密数字资产,在不同的板块和领域中,已经形成了各自相对稳定的利益格局和势力范围。这与当年中国的军阀割据也非常相似。军阀彼此之间并没有深度连接和合作,更谈不上融合。但是,他们所把持的军事力量,在后来中国的统一进程中,发挥了相当大的作用。

而今天的区块链加密数字经济,尽管各个板块、各个领域都是各自为战,自成一体。但是,也支撑起了一个总市值稳定在1万亿美元以上的特种经济体。之所以称其为“特种经济体”,而不是“新经济体”,是因为这个经济体融合了旧经济和新经济的多重属性,充满种种变数和不确定性。是旧经济体向新经济体发展的过渡型产物。但即便如此,它们所创造的经济体量是真实的。这就跟当年民国军阀们手中的军事力量一样真实,一样重要。

图77 1917–1918年间民国军阀割据示意图

只要联合国或者其他任何一支有系统思想理论支撑的新兴力量进入。像当年国民党蒋介石展开的北伐战争那样,就可以在很短时间内,将这个特种经济体的经济体量整合到新经济生态中。认知到了这一点,就会明白,为什么Famland新经济体结构中,既有挖矿模式、又有交易模式,还有游戏模式,而且,将这些各自为政、互不干涉的模式,融合成了一个有机生态体系。目的,就是便于联合国引领人类社会进入元宇宙后,能迅速利用Famland新经济体去整合特种经济体的经济体量。让新经济体的发展有一个更高的价值起点。

在这里,我们花费大量篇幅来介绍区块链经济体。其根本目的,是希望秘书长及全球贤达们能意识到,联合国进入元宇宙、构建数字地球要打造的新经济体,不是凭空想象的,也不仅仅是一纸规划。其雏形、过渡形态的区块链经济体早已存在。无论人们相信还是不相信,认可还是不认可,这个经济体10多年来,在自生自灭、没有统一管理的情况下,已经发展出了可以稳定在万亿美元以上的经济体量。而这样一笔财富价值,完全是凭空创造的,是在完全不依赖实体经济的情况下,单纯凭着人们的共识创造的。对于联合国来说,就算没有这封公开信,就算没有Famland新经济体的规划和设计。只要能进入区块链经济领域,凭借联合国的公信力和影响力,无疑也能营造出更大范围的共识。也就能创造出比现在这个经济体量更大的价值。这样的价值,已经远远超出联合国在实宇宙中能筹集到的资金量上限了。

是的,现在的区块链经济体有很多问题、很多弊端,还不能堪当重任。但我们可以改进它、完善它,让它规范起来、成熟起来。中篇我们已经阐述过,分布式“信”的见证体系,是可以不断自磨合、自平衡、自修正、自进化的。至少,我们可以将现有的区块链经济体系,引导到这种分布式见证体系生态中来,让它最终能堪当重任,能帮联合国解决金钱问题,从而完成联合国自救、人类自救和地球自救。这就如同当年的民国军阀不堪重任,但是,当国民党将他们引导到由三民主义主导的共和制大潮流中来时。他们最终也成为帮助国民党在名义上统一中国的重要历史力量。

Famland新经济体的设计和规划,其总体框架就是构建在上述认知基础上。所以,不是说Famland借鉴、融合了几种成功的商业机制,就一定能成功。而是说,既然Famland是一个分布式自组织系统,在已经存在的成功模式基础上,通过自磨合、自协调、自平衡、自修正,我们可以做得更好、更靠谱、更成功。创造比现在区块链经济体更大的经济体量。为什么联合国在元宇宙中,能引导人类社会“自己给自己印钱,自己用自己印的钱”,基础也在这里。

概括而言,Famland新经济方案,是用人本主义系统思想理论(中篇)作指导,在借鉴、融合现有区块链经济体中各种成功模式基础上,扬长避短,重新全面规划和设计的一套新经济方案。最大限度的规避了现有区块链经济模式面临的种种弊端,最大限度突破了现有区块链经济模式遭遇的种种局限。最终形成一种可良性循环、持续发展的健康新经济生态体系。

这个方案的核心节点,或者说根本突破点在于“Famland”。一种被命名为“私域领土”的跨文明新财富NFT,也就是“Famland-NFT(FN)”。它既是一种资产,又是一种生产工具。从原理上来说,它是人类个体的灵魂和精神在元宇宙中的数字化体现。也是整个Famland新经济方案的根本财富源泉、根本价值源泉。

类似FN这样的“个人主权(财富主权)”资产,理应是元宇宙新经济与实宇宙旧经济的根本区别所在。但是,至今为止,现有区块链各类经济形态、各种商业模型中,还始终找不到这类资产的影子。这就使得现有区块链加密数字经济的财富价值,成了无源之水、无本之木。无论他们怎么改良、怎么发展,都难以避免成为一种过渡型产物的宿命。不仅如此,没有FN这样的资产,新经济也无法实现全球化格局下的“普惠性公平”。所谓“普惠性公平”,就是全球每一个人都可以享受到这种公平性。这也是构建全球化共识、创造无限财富价值的根基。很显然,无论是比特币、以太坊,还是其他任何数字加密资产,都还没有这样的格局和思考。当然,也就无法营造这样的根基。
