Neco - the eco currency
Neco is an eco currency designed for a better future of mankind! As a non-profit organization, we want to provide a free and transparent digital currency that is sourced and controlled by our community. Neco provides funding for common welfare such as education, healthcare, science, conservation, green technologies and generates universal basic income. We follow the example of Bhutan and measure prosperity by gauging our Community Happiness levels.
Neco is a digital currency but not a cryptocurrency. With Neco, money is created collectively by all members for social or ecological causes. With Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies, money is created through “mining” by mining organizations using Blockchain technology. Neco is a community currency, meaning it is issued, accepted and controlled by the entire Neco user community. Bitcoins are issued and controlled by “miners”, that is owners of mining computer hardware. Think of Neco as Bitcoin 2.0 - a better version of Bitcoin with additional economical, ecological and social features. For more details on the differences between Neco and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, please review our currency comparison.
