2023 — Year of the POZ
The pozitive journey continues…real talk about the pozitive future we are building and what comes next
If you’re from the crypto class of ‘22 then you’ll know that most of the trash is now being washed out. (Sorry to be a little blunt to start off…)
As a student of this year, surely you’ve now realised that the question ‘when list’ is not the right one to be asking. Had we just rushed and listed POZ on any old exchange it would have pumped then dumped like all the rest of the empty tokens and meaningless projects. But, we are different. POZ is different. We held the line, and will continue to do so, until POZ is ready to go.
We never came here for a so-called market made of bulls and bears. Which if you ask me, (LadyPozzle speaking here…) are just the most absurd notions that people cling onto hoping to ride some fake waves instead of making real waves themselves. We’re here to make a real wave, that everyone, including you, can be part of in a real way.
We are in Web 3 because with blockchain tech, we can enable something we were already trying to create in Web 2, we were trying this 4 years ago and struggling on getting anywhere because of the old structures. In fact in a former Web 2 platform we worked on, we wanted to distribute the equity of the company to all users according to the in-app leaderboard of positive actions. You can imagine this was difficult to pitch to VCs..
When we suddenly realised in August ’21 that the revolution of Web 3 could enable us to do what we’d already been trying to do — to genuinely distribute the value of a project & company to all those who help create the value, via a token design, we were euphoric about this (and still are!).
If you’ve been with Pozzle Planet anytime since we formed our Discord in October ’21, you’ll know that we have been working around the clock, 7 days a week ALL YEAR to bring this truly pozitive project that the world needs. The people’s project.
- Now: A mobile-platform for universal access to the first ‘impact-2-earn’ social model, enabling everyday people to contribute to sustainability (sometimes without even realising it…) and be meaningfully rewarded for it.
- Next: A coin that will begin rolling out our vision to become the world’s first truly mainstream spending cryptocurrency, minus the BS of traditional crypto, and PLUS all the pozitives built into the DNA of our mission to create a pozitive world.
- Then: A protocol architecture (…the code is already written btw) that harnesses the individual actions occurring on our mobile-platform and ‘tokenises’ them into larger scale positive social & environmental impact, via impact tokens. ‘Tokenising Pozitivity’ you might say..
Our pozitive journey
POZ is moving forward as intended — the pozitive coin, that grows in value with each pozitive action. We communicated an aspirational target of December-22 for launching the first version of POZ swaps — we aren’t going to hit it. We’re 60% done on the dev side, but more importantly we want to introduce our next use case of POZ first, to increase the numbers of ‘things you can do with POZ’ and hence increase the number users who want to use their POZ vs. just swap it.
But rest assured, if you know us by now, you know we are for real and we do what we say we will. It takes time (and bravery) to do it the right way, and the road is long and requires sacrifice — and just so you know, our founders have been paid zero, and have been spending their life savings to get us this far…4 years ago LadyPozzle ditched her corporate career and a $400k salary to have the freedom to achieve one goal — to make the world more pozitive: to solve inequality, and beat the sh*t out of climate change. We don’t have a dime of external funding, and yet here we are — gonna fcking make it.
And with already 10,000 early holders of POZ, we’ll do everything in our power to make 2023 the year of the POZ.
So how we gonna do it?
A look back on ‘22
The foundations are in. The engine is running. We already have 1000s of users, daily retention and sustained engagement: so there’s no denying that the shining star and centrepiece of our enormous project is the Pozzle Planet mobile app — which proudly became available 4 weeks ago on App Store & Google Play. And whilst we continue building that star into the brightest in the universe through the next evolutions of Beta 1 and Beta 2, we first want to take the opportunity to give credit to the team and all the contributors for what we’ve built so far:

Beginning the Odyssey ‘23
Now that our product foundations are in, we’re turning more of our efforts towards onboarding the world to pozitivity. The Odyssey’23 is the map of the journey, and stage 1 is to unlock Planet Earth in the mobile-app!
More about how to join the Odyssey in our latest article here.
POZ to the stars
As we venture through the Odyssey ’23 we’ll be taking POZ to new heights. Remember, POZ ain’t ordinary. Here’s the concept again, in case you forgot.
Every POZ transaction, has a pozitive contribution to the price of POZ.
The POZ price acts like a ‘rising stablecoin’, meaning the price stays stable but with the added benefit that if people trade it or transact with it, the price will gradually and incrementally increase by a tiny amount each time that happens. We call this the pozitive coin — because it goes in the pozitive direction.
To achieve this, the profits of Pozzle Planet go back into the price of POZ. It means that the price of POZ is only based on realised value, in other words profits that are already achieved and tangible. There’s no false speculation to drive the price.
With this system, all holders of POZ will continuously benefit from the value that the project actually generates and that they helped create, by adopting POZ as their money. And you won’t have to worry about the price dumping, because it can’t….remember the price was based on already realised value!
But we know, all of this pozitive promise has to be a case of show don’t tell. So we are aiming to launch our first POZ swaps as fast as we humanly can, so you can all see for yourself as the POZ price does its pozitive thing.
Seeing will be believing, and you might no be so fast to swap your POZ once you lay your eyes on how it really works ;)
Things you can do with POZ
But swapping POZ is not the end goal. POZ as your money for everyday life, is the target.
We are now going to begin our rollout of more and more ways for you to use your POZ online and IRL….how does ‘pay with POZ’ sound? POZpay, POZ pay it forward, POZ popups, ping your POZ, POZitive product discounts…you get the idea!
In the meantime, you can keep accumulating POZ in your pouch on the mobile-app and keep looking forward to the many pozitive things you will be able to do with it, in the wonderful world of POZ.
