GlobalChange is modeled on actual money. It is "digital cash."
​
-
GC tokens are artistic and unique objects just like NFTs, but fungible with a face value
-
This is how cash in your wallet works too: artistic, unique physical objects with a face value
-
You get GC tokens by swapping your actual money (fiat) for GC
-
Here's how the swap works. You give your money to a charity of your choice, and the GlobalChange network issues you tokens with a face value equaling what you have given
-
1 GC costs 1 2021 USD, so in 2021 it's a 1:1 swap
-
GC can replace cash, Bitcoin, Venmo, PayPal, and low-interest savings accounts
You give some amount of your money to a charity or nonprofit of your choice ...
...and you get secure crypto-tokens in that amount, with an equivalent face value, for use as digital currency
If you care that your cryptocurrency is "intrinsically valuable," it can be...
​
When you get tokens, you can buy cryptocurrency crash insurance, if you want, which is an option to redeem or return your GC 5 years later and get your original money (fiat) back
​
-
In this case, your fiat becomes a 72-month zero-interest loan available to the nonprofit of your choice, instead of being given to that nonprofit outright.
-
If GC turns out to be unspendable, or loses all value, then at least your money still spends 5 years in the best place you can think of, in use by a nonprofit of your choice.
-
The option to return GC in 5 years costs 5%. The 5% goes into the pool described below.
-
Nonprofits repay these zero-interest loans into a central liquidity pool from which any valid redemptions can draw
Specific charities can offer special-edition coins and bills
​​
-
These have the same characteristics and personalities for each face value denomination, but with an additional artist's touch
-
Special-edition tokens can be designed or signed by artists and celebrities, and issued to desired degrees of scarcity
-
when you donate to charities offering special edition tokens, you still get 1 GC for 1 2021 USD, but maybe you get one of these extra special ones among your newly issued GC tokens.
-
Here is a Wikipedia article about special-edition U.S. currency, legal tender which acts the same way.

Spend them at face value, collect them, auction them off, whatever works for you!
