Fiat currencies are fundamentally different from money. Money represents the value of real, tangible assets being exchanged as a medium of exchange. While anything can serve as currency, only asset-backed currencies can be true money because they have inherent value.

Under C2C, money is tied to the productive output of a nation and is represented by asset-backed currency. The shift from fiat to C2C eliminates the Original Sin of economic exploitation. The Original Sin refers to the failure of humanity to establish an independent standard like ℧, which would serve to measure what constitutes money — much like the foot, gram, or liter measures other substances and materials. Historically, the value of money was often determined by the substance it was issued upon (e.g., bushels of grain, gold, silver), but never considered what happens when currency is based on nothing, rendering it vulnerable to manipulation and instability.

The C2C system restores sovereignty to individuals and nations by ensuring that currency is tied to real value — not debt or manipulation.
