The Truth About What's Happening

Your paycheck buys less every month. 65% of middle-class Americans are struggling financially and don't expect their situation to improve for the rest of their lives. The government prints trillions of dollars, inflation steals your purchasing power, and you're told it's your fault for not "adapting to the new economy."

The numbers don't lie: While inflation was officially 2.4% in September 2024, that doesn't mean prices went down - it just means they're rising "more slowly." Your groceries still cost 20% more than they did three years ago. Your rent didn't drop. Your healthcare didn't get cheaper. The government's inflation statistics are an insult to working families watching their purchasing power vanish.

AI is coming for our kids' futures. Since ChatGPT launched, workers aged 22-25 have lost 13% of employment opportunities in AI-exposed fields. The entry-level jobs that used to launch careers are disappearing. Software developers, customer service reps, analysts - the jobs college kids trained for are being automated away. What's their plan? "Learn to code" is now "learn to compete with AI."

But here's what they don't want you to know: While AI eliminates office jobs, demand for human connection, care, and support is exploding. People need help with their kids, their elderly parents, their health, their technology, their finances. They need human beings who care, not chatbots and bureaucrats.

The Poor People App (PPA) is our answer. We're building the platform that lets regular Americans monetize what they're naturally good at - helping other people - while also helping themselves in the process. Engaging with the financial system and incorporating technology that helps us navigate the complex world of economics and social well being while fortifying human participation as a foundation in our communities.

The Poor People App and Poor People Coin

Building Our Response

The system won't fix itself, at least not yet. So we're building the Poor People App (PPA) - a platform that lets regular Americans help each other while creating economic infrastructure that serves us, especially when we are in need of assistance. And we're exploring tokenized coordination through the Poor People Coin (PPC).

The vision for Poor People Coin (PPC) is to enable economic mobilization through tokenized community coordination. Reddit and Gamestop anyone? We like the system when it’s fair, otherwise we can always count on the power of productivity in the hands of the technologically savvy. Why wouldn’t we organize around the same infrastructure that has already revolutionized lending, borrowing, and trading through decentralized systems?

PPC enables a sustainable business model: users earn tokens by providing services, spend tokens to receive services, and the platform takes small coordination fees to fund operations and build reserves. This isn't wealth extraction - it's a marketplace where value stays within the community while maintaining the infrastructure that makes it all work.
