Q is tomorrow’s payment network

Today's payment systems (payment cards, cash, wire transfers) are old and outdated, which means we’re all bearing unnecessary costs.

There are many advanced payment technologies and innovations waiting to be deployed.

So why don’t we already have newer, better systems? Because there’s a “chicken and egg” barrier — no buyer will join a new payment network with no sellers, and no seller will offer a new payment option that no buyer uses.

If someone built a modern payment system that implemented these technologies and somehow got buyers and sellers to adopt it, this system would quickly become popular. It could eventually end up seeing 20 trillion dollars in transactions per year.

Now imagine this system created a dedicated global currency. Let's call it Q. According to economic models, the value of all Qs would be several trillion dollars.

Initiative Q is reserving this Q currency for people who join today — the earlier you join the more Q you can reserve!

It’s like a self-fulfilling prophecy. As millions join, advanced payment technologies are deployed, the payment system becomes even more popular, the Q currency becomes valuable, and rewards given to early users reach their potential value.
