Making money flow not burst

Project Info

Scope

Develop a product that harnesses cutting-edge technology to redefine how users engage with and perceive money, offering a simple yet transformative experience.

Problem

In today’s financial system, money is exchanged in lump-sum transactions that fail to align with the continuous flow of modern life. People are forced to manage income, expenses, and savings in periodic bursts, such as monthly paychecks, rent, and bills, creating financial stress and volatility. This disconnect between daily actions and long-term financial goals often leads to inefficient financial habits and less effective personal finance management.

Solution

This product transforms the irregular, lump-sum transactions of today’s financial system by introducing continuous money streams. By allowing users to manage income, expenses, and savings in real-time, the product reduces financial volatility and stress. It simplifies personal finance management, aligning daily spending with long-term goals, and fosters healthier financial habits through a more fluid, connected system.

A brief history of money

Prehistoric Times

Bartering System

The bartering system involved trading goods and services without a standardized medium of exchange, relying on mutual needs and agreements.

3000 B.C.E

Commodity Money

Commodities like grains, livestock, and shells were used as money due to their intrinsic value and widespread acceptance.

600 B.C.E

Metal Money

Metal coins made from precious metals like gold and silver standardized value and were more durable and portable.

700 C.E

Paper Money

Issued by the Tang Dynasty, paper money allowed for easier handling of large sums, reducing the need to carry heavy metal coins. Europe gradually adopts the concept, but widespread use didn’t occur until much later.

1500 B.C.E

Banking System

Banks began to issue banknotes and promissory notes, facilitating trade and credit. Central banks were created to stabilize and manage national currencies.

1800 C.E

Gold Standard

Currencies were pegged to gold, ensuring stability and trust in money’s value. Strengthened international trade and economic stability.

1971

Fiat Money

Transition to fiat money, which has no intrinsic value but is backed by government regulation and trust.

1990

Digital Money

Introduction of digital transactions through credit cards, online banking, and payment platforms like PayPal.

2009

Cryptocurrencies

Crypto-currencies

Using blockchain technology, allowing for secure, transparent transactions without a central authority.

What if the next form of money was in a steady flow?

Insights

International Exchange

Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies Offer Faster and Cheaper International Transfers Compared to Traditional Methods

Typical international fiat transfers can take up to five business days due to the involvement of multiple banks. In contrast, a Ethereum transaction can be completed in under 20 minutes for less than ten cents, with the potential for even lower costs. This capability to transfer value globally in less than an hour reduces friction in terms of both time and cost, despite early-stage user experience challenges.

Economic Friction Mirrors Physical Friction in Energy Loss During Value Transmission

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of objects, gradually slowing them to a stop by resisting the transmission of physical energy through space. This concept can be applied to the transmission of value, which is the human expression of energy. In every economic exchange, energy is wasted in processes such as negotiating, weighing, counting, carrying, and transporting value. Just as physical friction converts movement into heat, economic friction represents a loss of energy during the transmission of value.

Data Streaming
Streaming Revolutionizes Internet Usage and Dominates Data Traffic
With the advancement of the internet, data transfer became faster and more affordable, paving the way for the rise of streaming. This evolution transformed internet usage, making videocalls, live sports, e-gaming, and the streaming of movies, TV shows, and music.
Natural Cycles
Economic Rhythms Governed by Natural Cycles
The economy experiences value flows in daily, monthly, and quarterly patterns, reflecting the Earth’s rotation, the Moon’s orbit, and the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. These natural cycles are so deeply embedded in our routines that we often overlook their influence on our business operations and personal schedules.
Financial Flows
Financial Network Flows Mirror Nature’s Rhythms
Consider the natural cycle of the tides, which ebb and flow with the gravitational pull of the moon. Our modern financial network operates in a similar way, characterized by monthly bursts of high-energy transfers followed by quieter periods. These bursts of activity in the financial world mimic the rhythmic rise and fall of the tides, creating a pattern of infrequent, significant movements interspersed with calm intervals.
Resonance
Achieving a Steady Economic Flow by Decoupling from Celestial Cycles
If our economy were no longer governed by the days and months dictated by celestial bodies, value could stream in a steady, uninterrupted flow. This shift would eliminate the periodic bursts and pauses currently influenced by natural cycles, allowing for a more consistent and seamless economic pulse.
Monetary Streaming
Transforming Value Transfer: From Bursts to Continuous Streams
As the global cost and time of transporting monetary energy drop to nearly zero, the possibility of streaming value continuously, rather than in monthly or bi-weekly bursts, emerges. This transformation will dramatically change interest, savings, balances, transfers, and lending. Regular payment cycles will be disrupted, and our perspective on value and finance will be radically transformed as society transitions from bursts to continuous streams of economic energy.
Continuous Earnings
Transforming Earnings: Real-Time Value Accumulation
Earning income on a per-minute basis will allow value to accumulate drop by drop in real-time, eliminating the volatility of monthly payments and bills. The internet will simultaneously transfer information and value, drastically increasing fluidity within the global economic network.

The Present Moment Economy

In a future where value streams at the speed of light, all members and activities of our global economy will synchronize to the same time: the present moment.

Vison

Streaming Income
As real-time connectivity becomes a standard, the same expectation will apply to financial transactions. Income streams will become live streams, hourly employees will be compensated immediately for their work, while salaried workers will see their earnings distributed steadily throughout the year, rather than in lump sums. This evolution in payment methods will help stabilize bank accounts, reducing the financial stress associated with waiting for pay-checks. The ability to track and manage finances in real-time will enhance personal financial stability and planning, aligning monetary flow with the immediacy of modern digital interactions. This transformation promotes a new era of financial fluidity and personal economic empowerment.
Streaming Savings
Streaming into savings accounts allows for the continuous accrual and storage of monetary energy in various forms. Interest can be compounded continuously, maximizing the earnings on savings over time. Users can allocate percentages of their income into different accounts for specific savings goals, simplifying financial planning. Achieving savings targets becomes a straightforward calculation based on the allocated income percentage. This method transforms financial management into a completely passive process, making it easier and more efficient to save and grow wealth.
Streaming Investments
Streaming allows for financial growth to be seamlessly integrated into every moment. By continuously allocating a small, preselected amount to investments, this approach spreads out contributions over time, enhancing overall financial growth. By diverting a certain percentage of their discretionary income into stocks, bonds, or other investment vehicles in real-time, establishing a seamless and ongoing investment strategy. This method ensures a steady accumulation of assets, leveraging dollar-cost averaging to reduce market volatility impact and potentially yielding better long-term returns. This strategy revolutionizes the way we build wealth, promoting a more stable and prosperous financial future.
Streaming Expenses
Services like music, TV, gyms, and mortgages payments are transitioning from monthly or yearly cycles to real-time payments. This approach spreads out expenses over continuous moments, enhancing financial stability. With the ability to stream value globally, content from any region becomes more accessible, irrespective of national borders or currencies. This shift allows for payments to be made progressively over time, reducing the burden of large, sporadic payments and creating a more fluid financial experience.
Streaming Data
As the value layer becomes increasingly fluid, much like the information layer, individuals are poised to receive value for the data generated by their daily activities. Each person continuously creates a unique data stream through their interactions with technology and the environment. Currently, this data is often underutilized or controlled by third parties. However, the recognition of data ownership as a fundamental right is growing. People will come to understand that data is not just a byproduct, but one of the most valuable resources available. This shift will empower individuals to claim and monetize their data, transforming it into a significant asset in the digital landscape.
Streaming Charity
Inbound value flows can be directed into various streams, including one for charitable donations. By allocating a small, preselected amount continuously, this approach spreads out donations over time, enhancing the overall impact. Users can divert a certain percentage of their discretionary income to charities in real time, establishing a continuous and immediate financial connection. This method ensures a steady flow of support to charitable organizations, fostering stronger relationships and enabling more consistent funding for their initiatives.

App

Fluid Money

Money will flow like water, continuously moving and never pausing. Displayed as a flow rate in dollars per minute or hour, you’ll have full visibility into exactly what you are earning and spending at any given moment, with real-time updates providing a net balance. This approach turns traditional payment cycles into a steady stream, offering clarity and better control over your financial inflows and outflows.

Streamlined Goals

Individual savings folders can be created with an allocated percentage of your income stream directed toward specific savings goals. With this system, you can estimate the completion date based on your current income stream and chosen allocation percentages, allowing for more precise and manageable savings planning.

Constant Earnings

Inflow streams are calculated by converting after-tax income into a continuous flow, offering real-time financial insights. Instead of waiting for traditional paycheques, this method transforms each paycheque into a consistent stream until fully transitioning to streamed money. This creates a seamless connection between income and spending, making it easier to track income.

Fluid Spending

Money flows continuously rather than in irregular bursts, aggregating all outflows into a single stream. Each stream can be viewed separately, giving clear insight into spending. There are two types of outflows: recurring for bills or subscriptions and discretionary for personal expenditure, allowing for better management and control of where money goes.

Cost = Time

The time-cost formula can also be applied to recurring expenses such as rent, utilities, or subscriptions. For example, out of every hour of your earnings, twenty-five minutes might go toward paying regular expenses, with fifteen minutes dedicated to rent. This way, recurring costs are easier to understand as part of your financial flow, making it simpler to manage and plan for them. By visualizing expenses over time, financial planning becomes more intuitive and actionable.

Quoting Purchases

Purchases can be understood as the amount of time your income stream needs to cover them. This shifts abstract numbers into something relatable: our time, changing how we approach spending. It reshapes decision-making, making us more mindful of how to invest both time and money.

UI Process

Time-Cost Projections

In today’s dynamic economy, time and money are deeply connected. One innovative possibility this creates is the ability to translate prices into units of time. By dividing the cost of a product or service by a person’s current income stream, this system calculates how long it would take to afford a purchase.

This personalized time-cost formula shifts how we perceive value, as purchases are no longer just seen in terms of money but also in the time required to obtain them. This approach can be applied across various areas, giving individuals a more tangible understanding of the time commitment behind their financial decisions.

Outcomes

Technical Function

By staking capital in designated holding accounts, users can create calm financial streams that buffer between burst payments. This system allows for the seamless management of income, expenses, and savings by establishing separate holding accounts for each category. Although expenses and purchases are ultimately processed as single transactions, this setup enables the app to function effectively in an economy characterized by sporadic payments. Monthly bills are still paid in full at the appropriate time, but users experience a consistent, steady flow of funds within their accounts.

Time Cost

We often assume that everyone pays the same price for goods and services, but in reality, we each spend different amounts of time earning that money. When income flows in real-time, time becomes both a universal and personal measure of value. A product that costs the same for two people may represent a much larger portion of one person’s time than another’s, reflecting the disparity in income and financial position.

Streaming value allows individuals to directly link the cost of purchases to the amount of time required to earn them. This time-cost approach reframes how we think about spending. Instead of only considering the monetary cost, people can understand purchases in terms of their own time investment. For example, instead of seeing a $100 purchase, you may see it as “5 hours of work,” providing a deeper, more personal understanding of value.

This concept helps us reflect on how we use our time and money, enabling more informed financial decisions. It transforms value into something more tangible, personal, and tailored to each individual’s circumstances.

Implications

Instantaneous
The global economy remains fragmented by time zones and diverse national currencies, causing delays in financial transactions that can take days to process. Traditional financial systems slow down global value exchange, limiting the speed at which money moves across borders.

Transitioning to real-time value flows would transform global connectivity, allowing money to move instantly between individuals and nations. This shift would replace the current patchwork of delayed, disconnected systems with a seamless, real-time financial network. By synchronizing economic activity across time zones, the global economy could function more fluidly and efficiently, reducing delays and improving access to financial resources.
Smoothing Fluctuations
The ups and downs of traditional bank account balances often cause emotional stress, with excitement after payday leading to impulsive spending, followed by anxiety as funds dwindle by the end of the month. This paycheck-to-paycheck cycle creates financial volatility, making it harder to manage expenses and stay on top of bills.

Streaming income would reduce this volatility, providing a smoother, more consistent flow of money. Instead of dealing with highs and lows, individuals could monitor their finances in real-time, seeing whether their balance is growing or shrinking moment by moment. This continuous flow would make financial trajectories more predictable, reducing stress and improving financial stability.
Instant Fulfillment
The streaming model reshapes how we earn and manage money by offering instant feedback. People are naturally more motivated by immediate rewards than by delayed ones. The shorter the gap between effort and reward, the stronger the motivation to engage. By removing delays, streaming income increases incentives for value creation.

This real-time connection between effort and earnings deepens our engagement with finances. The immediate correlation between work and financial reward taps into our desire for instant gratification, encouraging more active and consistent participation.
Flexibility
In today’s subscription-based world, it’s ironic that the younger generations are increasingly avoiding long-term commitments. If an alternative existed that freed them from monthly contracts, fees, and rigid commitments, people would naturally gravitate toward it, seeking more personal freedom.

Streaming models offer that alternative by minimizing the need for signups, memberships, and recurring monthly charges. This system challenges the traditional subscription model, allowing businesses to shift toward a pay as you go approach. Rather than committing to monthly or yearly services, users could pay only for what they use, whether it’s a gym, yoga class, or streaming services like Netflix or Spotify. This flexibility would reshape consumer behaviour and provide businesses with an entirely new way to engage with their customers.

By synchronizing economic activity across time zones, the global economy could function more fluidly and efficiently, reducing delays and improving access to financial resources.
Smoothing Fluctuations
The ups and downs of traditional bank account balances often cause emotional stress, with excitement after payday leading to impulsive spending, followed by anxiety as funds dwindle by the end of the month. This paycheck-to-paycheck cycle creates financial volatility, making it harder to manage expenses and stay on top of bills.

Streaming income would reduce this volatility, providing a smoother, more consistent flow of money. Instead of dealing with highs and lows, individuals could monitor their finances in real-time, seeing whether their balance is growing or shrinking moment by moment. This continuous flow would make financial trajectories more predictable, reducing stress and improving financial stability.
Instant Fulfillment
The streaming model reshapes how we earn and manage money by offering instant feedback. People are naturally more motivated by immediate rewards than by delayed ones. The shorter the gap between effort and reward, the stronger the motivation to engage. By removing delays, streaming income increases incentives for value creation.

This real-time connection between effort and earnings deepens our engagement with finances. The immediate correlation between work and financial reward taps into our desire for instant gratification, encouraging more active and consistent participation.
Flexibility
In today’s subscription-based world, it’s ironic that the younger generations are increasingly avoiding long-term commitments. If an alternative existed that freed them from monthly contracts, fees, and rigid commitments, people would naturally gravitate toward it, seeking more personal freedom.

Streaming models offer that alternative by minimizing the need for signups, memberships, and recurring monthly charges. This system challenges the traditional subscription model, allowing businesses to shift toward a pay as you go approach. Rather than committing to monthly or yearly services, users could pay only for what they use, whether it’s a gym, yoga class, or streaming services like Netflix or Spotify. This flexibility would reshape consumer behaviour and provide businesses with an entirely new way to engage with their customers.

Instantaneous
The global economy remains fragmented by time zones and diverse national currencies, causing delays in financial transactions that can take days to process. Traditional financial systems slow down global value exchange, limiting the speed at which money moves across borders.

Conclusion

Next Steps

In concluding this project, my next steps will emphasize conducting a thorough market analysis to understand user needs and the competitive landscape. This analysis will help identify gaps in current financial solutions and highlight opportunities for my app to offer unique features, ensuring it effectively addresses users’ real-time financial management challenges. Concurrently, I will focus on developing robust safety systems that prioritize user data security and transaction integrity. This includes implementing encryption protocols, secure authentication methods, and continuous monitoring for suspicious activities. By combining market insights with a strong safety framework, I aim to create a trustworthy and user-centric financial app that meets the evolving needs of modern consumers.

Learnings

Throughout the design process, I expanded my thinking beyond conventional boundaries, which significantly pushed the project forward. Embracing innovative ideas and exploring unconventional solutions allowed me to envision new possibilities and enhance the overall user experience. This approach fostered creativity, encouraging me to challenge existing assumptions and consider how emerging technologies could transform everyday interactions with money. By stepping outside of traditional frameworks, I discovered fresh perspectives that not only enriched my design but also inspired a deeper understanding of user needs and behaviors. Ultimately, this expanded mindset proved essential in developing a product that is not only functional but also transformative.
