Background: My day job is enhancing digital UX experiences for businesses & startups with 10+ years in design, psychology, and product, for a company called Metawave Studio. On the side, I am DAO contributor of Mental Wealth Academy's Organization and help proliferate innovative Ethereum use cases with Larry and the rest of the team. I've been the Academy's sole source of funding since inception with just a handful of people and a scrap of an idea.

As you know, the initial product of Mental Wealth Academy is a blockchain-optimized library, featuring small onchain activities to contribute to the ecosystem. However, some people may not be aware of the fact that our long-term goal is to build a high-performance decentralized classroom with live events, resources, and live demonstrations. The overarching purpose of Mental Wealth Academy (and the reason I am funding the company) is to help expedite the need for more equitable forms of learning, education, and hobby building, moving the flow of capital away from overpriced tuitions and gatekeeping tactics, to leverage a newly emerging, equitable, and family-friendly method of online learning where anyone is able to access new emerging information, tools, and expertise for a very low cost.

I believe this to be the primary, but not exclusive, solution to the educational wealth crisis in America.

Critical to making that happen is an onchain library that is equitable enough to be accessed by anyone and not shutdown by a corrupt government. Which is why we're using Ethereum for it's institutional grade Smart Contracts, on the blockchain. These provide digital assets and ownership to people in a way that's transparent, immutable, and easily viewed by any individual regardless of location in the world.

The issue with digital libraries such as; internet archive and zlibrary, is that they have poor UX, branding, and are susceptible to shutdown. The branding of Mental Wealth Academy however, provides a more eminent sense of quality to the table, our futuristic Sci-Fi vision and design of onchain events and digital 3rd spaces. Making our brand feel more alive, desirable, and cultish in the sense of a newly formed prestigious tribal group founded on Netiquette, Evolution, & Cognitive Research. The only issue in a decentralized alternative however, is distribution of nodes. Many people don't yet realize or understand the importance of nodes, 3rd party providers for pinning services like piñata, still pose the same risks and issue as centralized counterparts, as storage is offset to a company providing the nodes as a B2C SaaS.

This temporary fix fails to provide quality education on the inner workings, which waters down the solution, the crucial aspect of understanding how Crypto works, lies in properly ensuring technical distribution, and simplified yet comprehensive knowledge of decentralized tools and assets. We already know that the internet contains an abundance of information, a chaotic garden readily available much more than any point in the history of humanity. Knowledge is no longer sequestered. Yet it's up to us to make it equitably transparent, safe, and beneficial for all participants. So everybody eats, everybody wins.

So when asked, "Will decentralizing node storage truly bring advancement?" The answer is no. But as we've seen with bittorrent and other similar decentralized storage systems, a socialist stance on data storage is indeed much more valuable for the advancement of society, as information on ethics, tools for creativity, and human potential gain agency when given access to previously gate-kept and sequestered information. As more continue to align with us and agree that it is valuable, then they should also be provided the access of having the required tools and knowledge to run nodes. Unless you understand the secret plan above. Every single new technology initially has high-cost which is why many blockchain & crypto projects raise such high valuations.

The strategy of Mental Wealth Academy is to enter with impeccable branding and bold storytelling aligning with our creative & experimental ideas. A solid foundation in spirituality and community, we utilize academic-level experiments to catalyze the acceleration of blockchain comprehension in a way that is less extractive, and more conductive. (Click here for case study on initial idea.)

Growth of Onchain technology¹ at it's core, is a tool designed to help fractionalize typical corporate structures. The small 10% of crypto owners understand the real mission and value of the technology, and understand that building a global onchain economy is the master goal. That goal is engrained within an interior of inter-connected systems of tool-sharing & social interactions preformed in the digital world.

Without giving away too much, I can say that Mental Wealth Academy will be a premium type of status game, that will give users everything they want from Web3 and more at roughly 1/100th of the price of a normal academic community, with at least 100 times the value and impact. Keeping up with newly emerging technology like blockchain and crypto, Ai & governance models. All cash flow is plowed back into R&D, me being a UX Designer & Psychology grad doubles down on why this is so import to me, bringing high-quality web experiences to a plethora of users will soon be a proven solutions to millions of misnomers and inconsistencies across the global onchain economy at an equitable scale.

When someone mentions they've been to Mental Wealth Academy, they are actually helping to pay forward the next person's learning experience, while creating a collaborative knowledge-ecosystem.

Now I'd like to address two repeated arguments against an onchain academic system - Digital Education services such as LinkedIn Learning & Coursera already exist, & blockchain doesn't solve anything with education. The answer to the first is short and simple, the second requires a bit of math:

Education has been primarily shaped by Capitalism. It's evident that the relationship between state and the higher board of education lack drive and understanding to utilize growing industry skills such as UX Design to perfect and lower the friction users go through to achieve their education. Not only are we late to this by a handful of years, but we are rapidly falling behind as education is sequestered continuously by wealth. Advertisements & Platforms drive up the prices on monthly subscriptions forcing users to quickly finished their remote courses in order to obtain an easily forged degree or certificate. If the user fails to finish quickly they risk spending even more money, pressure leads to anxiety as the incentives of money and certificate become higher on the totem pole than actualized learning and comprehension.

A common rebuttal to digital and onchain certificates is that they aren't needed, wanted, or even credible. In fact, someone may say "many platforms have delivered them and they are of little of importance to me or anyone I know in the financial field!" The obvious counter to this is that educational structures have a place here onchain now.

Tools such as Blockchain → Smart Contracts → NFT/Crypto are becoming more sufficiently capable of rendering these problems obsolete. To the inner workings of our digital world, onchain technology is a global extension thats capable of connecting people and systems in a more authentic way than before.

So when it comes to solutions already existing, it's true they do. However, these solutions fail to provide composable record-keeping, and transferability of certifications that are easily forged or gamified. There is no current way to understand if a person skimmed and cheated the course, or actually values learning.

Smart Contracts aren't yet fully comprehended worldwide by people as an concise concept. It's still a messy landscape only understood by Computer Science and Tech-savvy individuals... but as the world grows older more and more people will learn of this. It's important that it's structured and controlled.

Therefore, we are incredibly early to a product and brand that has the ability to encompass true digital change in a way that previously was never capable of experiencing. We now we have a net to capture, & digitally verify that status and knowledge milestones have been honestly attained in merit, with more precision, trust, & accuracy. Than any other system in the world.

What other blockers stop people from preforming in these courses around the world other than accountability? The price point. For too long subscription models have been used to replace one-time fees because they are extractive in nature and seek to siphon the most capital.

Offering equitable price-plans aligns heavily with 80% of crypto users and the overarching ethos of decentralization, cyberpunk, and humanistic-accelerationist view we all hold.

The Knowledge Ecosystem from Mental Wealth Academy will be 60% more efficient at educating and creating safe online spaces for learning, reading, and developing skillsets with others. "Combined Functionality" is the Stage 2 of the plan which involves pairing the initial set of community members via events, with a larger marketed audience to create an authentic online community where people can interact with each other, learn from experts, and receive accreditation that's onchain and verifiable on a trusted blockchain, that's fast, low-cost, and powered by a brand that breathes authenticity and trust.

Despite the framework of a digital library, it does not have to be a vast collection. By beginning as a bookclub, we're able to fine tune the material needs for members. Order books either digitally or physically and create a repository of copied items that can be ethically and legally lent to others using a combination of smart contracts and blockchain technology in what we like to call "Keys".

Keys are a part of an audited custom made smart contract that enables the lending, of digital books onchain in an equitable free-form way. The term "Web3" is a misnomer, as people didn't call the internet web2. But it's become a terminology that people use when associating the "feature" that crypto and blockchains like Ethereum provide as an extension layer of the internet that adds wealth into it.

Our goal is to educate people on these topics while onboarding in a way that's enjoyable, safe, low-cost, and zero-risk. We do this with the addition of Smart Wallets, which allow users to create a crypto wallet within less than a second. Paired with the ability of low-cost means that our platform can earn money off the low-cost trading fees of the token while offering a great experience.

Becoming Revenue Sustained

I should mention that Mental Wealth Academy will be co-marketing creative fiction work, bolstering the artwork of the community, and selling office supplies with the library. For example, colored pencil packs, stickers, & Soulkeys. Soulkeys are a physical merch with a built-in IPFS node, these pets are great desktop additions that provide users real benefits and agency over blockchain, they share the storage layer of the library and assets while generating real-accrued token rewards, governance tokens, etc.

So, long story short the secret plan is to:

Launch token using High-Quality Brand Assets

Attractive Interest, Drive Attention

Use Branding To Tighten Community

Launch Premium Events With Partnerships

Profit from trading fees, use that money to fully structure the library and project.

Keep it a secret.
