What Are “Points \u2665” and What Do They Allow?<\/strong><\/p>\n This system helps us build a better world\u2014one where we create meaningful connections with other kind-hearted people, while becoming more autonomous and prosperous, even in a world where life conditions seem increasingly uncertain. It\u2019s a sovereign currency, rooted in our ancestral values of mutual aid and self-sufficiency values that are making a comeback.<\/p>\n How to Exchange “Points \u2665”?<\/strong><\/p>\n Two of our members with experience in IT have developed a platform where we can send and receive “Points \u2665” using a smartphone or computer. For those without access to technology, a paper version is also available.<\/p>\n Your “Points \u2665” wallet is on the website groupeselect.net. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n What can we offer and what can be offered to us?<\/strong><\/p>\n Give while receiving.<\/p>\n You may offer your services or products partly for cash and partly for “Points \u2665”, as long as the exchange is voluntary and mutually agreed upon.<\/p>\n In short, the only limit is our imagination when it comes to what we can offer or request.<\/p>\n “Points \u2665” are a solution to replace money, which for centuries has created vast inequalities\u2014making some people very rich while turning others into modern-day slaves.<\/p>\n This sovereign currency is not subject to the volatility of financial markets.

As a highly sensitive child born into a dysfunctional family, I faced many challenges growing up\u2014experiences that made me deeply empathetic toward others in distress.<\/p>\n Years ago, my sister had two young children and limited financial means. She couldn\u2019t afford daycare while working, so she came up with a brilliant idea. She brought together women in similar situations. They each received, for example, 200 units of fictional money and used it to “pay” each other for babysitting.<\/p>\n This small network of mothers not only helped solve financial issues, but also allowed them to support each other and build meaningful connections.<\/p>\n My sister had found a simple yet powerful way to bring people together\u2014and that\u2019s what inspired the creation of “Points \u2665”.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Service” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”10px|||||” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”b327cbe4-b1d5-4b66-ad37-40c8f2f061ba” header_2_font=”Poppins|600|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”55px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”1f09816e-184e-4ce5-a4cf-b39c52c423ca” text_font=”Libre Franklin||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.6em” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”55px” header_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Address is to send you your membership card and to know from which sector you live so that we can send you proper notifications of friendly businesses in your area.<\/p>\n The Phone number is for us to send you text notifications: Important information, Discounts from your favorite Businesses or Special invitations.
