The platform and the twin virtual\/crypto coin Qaori are under construction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Qaori Cooperative of Entrepreneurs aims to showcase best-of-breed digitalization in governance, operations, collaboration, communication, and development.&nbsp; The forum operates on a cooperative model, where members pool resources and expertise to support each other&#8217;s economic activities. The Qaori (QAORI) is our digital currency designed to enable secure, efficient, cost-effective, transparent investments and transactions within the Qaori Cooperative of Entrepreneurs and Community ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We invented this low-cost solution for a fixed-value global currency, by combining a virtual currency and a cryptocurrency on a digital mobile\/web platform. We called it Qaori because the cowrie seashell is or was the most used currency in the world since pre-history. A wonderful, handsome object, worn around the neck or ankles, and bartered or exchanged against whatever needed, the first global currency. We like the symbolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qaori is fixed-value currency, which exists in the real world, as a virtual currency and as a cryptocurrency, at equal value. The fact that it is fixed-value makes it useless for speculation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fixed-Value Currency<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How can a currency have a fixed value? In fact, it is mathematical impossible, something like squaring a circle, but we found a solution that comes close: we use a portfolio of antagonistic reference values, which tend to compensate for the mutual volatility of each other: when one goes down, another one goes up in reaction. We have all the historical values to compare and follow up in quasi-real time. We use Wallstreet-grade tools to guarantee the respect of the references. Our current portfolio is based on USD, Gold, Bitcoin, and EUR. We will put in place a governance structure that assures the integrity and efficiency of the portfolio and adapt it in the case that one or more of these values become too wild and jeopardize the \u201cfixed-value\u201d quality of the Qaori. The Qaori is minted with a certain time stamp, which is then used as a reference value.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you buy or sell the Qaori, the smart contract calculates the actual value of the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This way, we beat inflation, how useful is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>Values<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The REP embraces the Philosophy of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sufficiency_economy\">Sufficiency Economy<\/a>\u201d, inspired by the vision of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) of Thailand, continued under His Majesty King Vajiralongkorn (Rama X).
