14.Bitwalking currency (数字行走币 BW$)will be earned by walking.A software in the phone counts and checks users'steps,with walkers earning nearly 1BW$for about 10,000 steps (about five miles).In the beginning,users will be given the chance to spend what they earn in an online store,or trade them for cash.The founders of the project,Nissan Bahar and Franky Imbesi have attracted more than$10 million from mainly Japanese investors to help start and create the bank that checks steps and any money transfers.
Shoe producers are ready to accept the currency,and a UK high street bank is in talks to work with the project at one of the UK's biggest music festivals next year.The global project is to partner with sportswear brands,health services,health insurance companies,environment groups,and would-be advertisers.
In the future,employers may be invited to take part in a plan that would be offered to their workers to encourage them to stay healthy,with the currency they earn changed and then paid alongside their salaries.In developed nations,the average person would earn around 15BW$a month,but it is hoped that in poorer countries where people have to walk further for work,school,or simply to collect water,the Bitwalking plan could help change their lives.
The idea of Bitwalking is to encourage people to stay healthy by offering an additional encouragement,but it is still not clear how the money that seems to be so easy for users to earn could keep its value,nor whether the starting fund for the plan will be enough to keep the plan going while confidence in its value is being built up.
