The purchase of Rstory tokens on exchanges is an investment in people who work to produce measurable social and environmental benefits. We're thinking that there are a.) many people doing awesome work for too little money, b.) many people who give to charity that want to ensure that their donated funds are used exactly as intended, and c.) many people who would embrace cryptocurrency use purely for its cost-saving efficiencies if only there were a token that kept bad actors out by design.

In other words, we're betting that love and gratitude are a more attractive basis for economics than debt and predatory profiteering.
