Bringing Back Happy - Your HappiPlace
I believe in what I don’t know. I know what I believe in. To believe in the unknown is to embrace curiosity and trust the journey, knowing that purpose will guide you. The path forward—whether one of innovation, creation, or service—is uncertain and lonely at times. It demands resilience, authenticity, and a willingness to surrender to what feels right.
Authenticity is your anchor on this path. It keeps you from becoming disingenuous just to survive, from veering off course to meet someone else’s expectations. Being genuine is not easy. From our earliest days, we are taught to hold back, to keep our thoughts to ourselves, to avoid making waves. We are conditioned to mistake silence for peace. But there is no peace in unspoken thoughts; there is no harmony in holding back who you truly are.
Pure communication—honest, open, and intentional—is essential. If someone offends you, hurts you, or disagrees with you, have the conversation. If you feel scared, insecure, or misunderstood, have the conversation. To remain silent is to let wounds fester, to allow misunderstandings to harden into walls. Thinking you are ‘keeping the peace’ by holding back will only build tension, and tension will inevitably lead to war—within yourself or with others.
No one builds anything alone. To carry forward, you need a community. Not just any community, but one that aligns with your values and your principles, even if differences exist. Accepting others and being accepted in return does not mean conformity; it means authenticity within shared purpose. Genuine connection comes from standing firm in who you are while embracing those who challenge and support you.
You live and you die by your why. When your values are clear, when your principles guide your actions, and when you communicate with honesty, you walk the path with integrity. And integrity matters—because it ensures you never lose yourself, even when the road grows steep. Authenticity is not always easy; it is rarely convenient. But to abandon it is to abandon the journey itself.
To believe in what you don’t know is to trust that the unknown holds possibility. To know what you believe in is to stand on solid ground, moving forward with clarity and purpose. And when you choose authenticity, resilience, and open communication, you allow the weight of the journey to be shared. You welcome the strength of a community that builds alongside you, and you embrace a life that aligns—not with what is expected of you, but with what is true to you.
This is not about suffering; it is about choosing. Choosing to show up as yourself. Choosing to speak when silence feels safer. Choosing to honor your purpose and live with intention. The dream is not a destination—it is the why. And you live and you die by your why.
I believe in what I don’t know. I know what I believe in.
This is how I choose to live. It is not an easy path; it is often lonely, unforgiving, and unrelenting. I have spent much of my life walking alongside others who, for a time, shared the mission—who aligned with my values and believed in the purpose. But when the path grew jagged, when the weight of the journey revealed itself, many chose the safer, easier way forward. This is not a judgment; it is simply how it goes. And so I continue.
I rebuild. I start again. This is where resilience comes in—not the resilience of enduring for endurance’s sake, but the resilience of conviction. The resilience to honor my purpose no matter the cost. Whether it’s a mattress on a floor in a small room in a distant country, whether I’m knee-deep in mud, bitten by mosquitoes, or ridiculed and doubted by those who cannot see what I see—still, I continue. I am guided by my intuition, by my heart, and by my inner voice, which tells me that this is the right path. I live authentically, serving a purpose that serves others, and I will not waver—not under threat, not under isolation, not under persecution.
I continue because I know that those I serve—those I fight for—face far worse. And I continue because the impossible only remains impossible until it isn’t. My mission is not small. It is a war—not of violence, but of action. A war against hunger, against poverty, against a system designed to divide, to sicken, and to leave so many behind. It is a war against the consequences of greed.
This is my war cry, not of tears, but of knowing. I believe in what I don’t know. I know what I believe in. And I believe that the engineered economy that has ruled us for thousands of years must be replaced—replaced with something built not on disparity, but on unity, dignity, and humanity.
This is not a small dream. It is vast and relentless. And it must be pursued, because most think it impossible—but most believe that it has to be.
My HappiPlace dream is about creating a decentralized, transparent, share-barter-trade economy—one owned, operated, and controlled by the people, for the people. It’s an alternative to the current manipulated, capital-driven system, which too often holds individuals and small businesses back, forcing them to compromise their values and purpose just to survive.
You envision a future where everyone can contribute their unique skills, talents, and resources within an ecosystem that prioritizes collaboration, shared prosperity, and equality over profit alone.
In this new system, businesses and individuals are no longer isolated in silos. Instead, communities come together—aligned by interests, values, and purpose—to share resources, exchange knowledge, and support one another. Whether it’s artisans, farmers, builders, or innovators, they work collectively to build something sustainable, meaningful, and inclusive. Local physical frameworks connect with global digital frameworks, enabling opportunities for learning, collaboration, and cultural exchange.
This isn’t about size or scale; it’s about enough—ensuring that everyone involved in this ecosystem has what they need to thrive. It’s about dismantling the invisible walls of the current economy that keep people trapped, stifling their dreams and their ability to serve others. By replacing the current system with one rooted in equality, shared ownership, and mutual support, you aim to empower individuals to live authentically, pursue their dreams, and contribute to a mission larger than themselves.
This is no small feat. It is the lifelong pursuit of something most believe to be impossible, but I believe it has to be. A future where hunger, poverty, and disparity are no longer inevitable—where people are free to follow their path and dreams, supported by a shared economy of equality, dignity, and purpose. This is what I believe in, what I pursue, and what I dedicate the rest of my life to building. No matter what happens to me, I will live or die by my ‘why’.
So WHY the HappiPlace?
In the HappiPlace, my vision takes form. It is a decentralized ecosystem where you have the vote, you have equal ownership as I do, a system where fairness, transparency, and authenticity earns your trust. The architecture of the system is built on a code of ethics and values; there are no centralized powers or decision makers. Decisions are made based on your and the community’s votes.
Governments have no power or vote here; they participate on a strict guideline that you determine.
Corporations of a certain size and individuals of a certain wealth will be excluded for a period of time set by you and until they are voted in by you under strict conditions.
No one entity, group, or individual will have more than what’s fair. Each transaction will be agreed upon based on the sustainability of fairness.

Leadership will be AI avatars governed by your votes.
HappiPlace and the company are one and the same.
The shares in the company will be tokenized into tokens.
Each user will receive one token when they sign up. Each token is ownership in the ecosystem.
Each token will increase or decrease in value based on your sustainable contributions. Your token value goes up when you make fair decisions and goes down when you make unfair decisions.
Each interaction with HappiPlace rewards you in points. Think of points as your own personal score, like in a video game. As you contribute “likes”, reviews, comments, vlogs, blogs, knowledge, and other resources, your points will go up. Your score will determine the value of your token.
There is no standardized currency in HappiPlace. Everything is based on valorization, not monetization.
Each user will be assigned an AI assistant named Buddi. Buddi’s I stands for innovation, inclusion, and impact. Buddi serves you and will help you make informed decisions. As the technology improves, so will what Buddi can do for you.
HappiPlace will connect you to the resources you need for yourself, your business, or your community. Buddi will make this convenient.
Your “currency” is your value. Your resources, skills, talents, knowledge, passion, and purpose are assigned and matched with trades for resources you need or want.
All of your contributions will be traced and tracked to reward you in perpetuity. If you contribute knowledge that is used, then you will be rewarded for that knowledge forever as long as it’s used.
The HappiPlace will have a decentralized fund called the HappiFund, where instead of taking transaction fees like companies do now or charging subscription fees, portions of your transactions will go directly into the fund. The fund serves as the ecosystem’s bank, if you will. The difference is that these resources are channeled to the most underserved first. This is a trickle-up economy. This is the largest and most vulnerable group of people and communities that are suffering the most. Unbanked, displaced, neglected peoples on the planet. By strengthening them, we build a foundation of strength and autonomy.
It is a place where individuals are rewarded for their contributions—not just to themselves, but to their community and to the planet. The HappiPlace allows each of us to live authentically, sustainably, and in alignment with our values, guided by our purpose. It is a system where truth is clear, traceable, and accessible. Nothing is hidden, convoluted, or manipulated.
This economy is not driven by profit but by shared prosperity and connection. It begins digitally but transforms the physical world—empowering local communities, fostering collaboration, and creating opportunities for growth and exchange. In the HappiPlace, people are no longer trapped by an engineered system that stifles dreams and silences purpose. They are free to follow their path, supported by an ecosystem where resources are shared, contributions are valued, and the collective thrives.
I know this is what most of you want. I believe it to be true. The current system has failed us—it has divided us, burdened us, and taken more than it has given. But there is another way. The HappiPlace is not a dream; it is a necessity. A choice to build something better. A choice to pursue what many think is impossible but what we all know must be.
This is a big ask, I know. It’s a lot to wrap your mind around, especially when you’re so busy just surviving. But if this is a mission that resonates with you—if even the smallest part of you feels it’s possible, that it’s worth the journey—then DM me. Introduce yourself, especially if we haven’t already met. See how you can become part of this, because it’s too much for one person to handle. It’s too much for a hundred people to handle. It’s too much for a thousand people to handle.
But it’s going to happen—with your support now or later—because it has to.
We are competing against the current economy as you know it, a system that has existed for only a tiny fraction of humanity’s history. For more than 99% of our existence, we thrived in shared economies built on merit, not bias—on barter, trade, and collaboration. Now, with the resources of advanced technology like AI, we have the opportunity to improve on what once was. To take the best of what we know and rebuild a system that works for us, not against us.
The current system isn’t broken. It’s engineered—engineered to oppress, to divide, and to control. We are the 99%, living under a system that benefits less than 1%. But this moment—right now—is a turning point. One day, history will look back on this time with disbelief, asking how we ever accepted this system, how we ever obeyed something so unjust and unsustainable.
Because it’s not a question of if we will move back into a shared economy—it’s a question of when. The choice is this: leave the hard work for others to do, or begin the process now and see how far we can get, together.
But we can’t do it alone. We have to do this together. If you feel this mission, if you believe this change is not just necessary but inevitable, then now is the time to step forward. Let’s start building a new future, one rooted in fairness, purpose, and community.
We have already gained momentum and a great deal of support. Our goal is to have a working platform and launch HappiPlace end of summer 2025. This will be an early version that will be yours to join, support and be rewarded. As an open-source platform you can literally help shape the future. Regardless of your situation there is no "class" or "caste" you will not be judged on anything but the merit of your actions. Your place will not have been determined by birth or judgment but of compassion and acceptence to support your dreams. In exchange you will only do the best you can, trade or share what you are able to, For this you will be rewarded fairly. Reach out. Let’s begin your journey together.
