Trading Simplified

Half "Swap" half "Trade", Swade is the fusion of ancient history's marketplace and the last 15 years of technological development. It gives consumers ultimate control without limiting one's options by allowing their solid state assets to receive offers without commitment. Like a bid but instead of receiving cash, you're receiving a different item. It's the barter system, but global, progressive, and profitable.

Thousands of years ago, you traded value for value. You would trade a pound of oats for an equivalent value in beans or wine, depending on the supply and demand's valuation of that commodity. In today's age; that's not the case. Target advertising and bloated marketing budgets have created brand ethos and now; you pay for the name. Name brand's prices are solely built off of the dynamic of having "unique" takes on everyday items or services, nothing more. In fact, there are a plethora of examples where name brands are actually less quality than their "off brand" competitors. The result is that we as a culture think of "value" through the lens of retail, not just an item's application or efficiency. This of course is an entirely fabricated version of economics, created to benefit your bank, production corporations or fiduciary and asset management institutions. When in reality, your value comes from what you have not what you "could get" if you sold it.

Naturally, because of this very dynamic, we think the market is going to tank the more we see average household income going down and average online spending going up. The reality is the market will tank, but that value doesn't just disappear, it simply takes on a new form; solid state value. It's built into everything around us. Think about it, the more you buy online, the more stuff you have to sell. You didn't loose value when you ordered off of Amazon, you just exchanged your cash (a fluid asset) for a different kind of value. In other words; a solid state asset. You can re-sell that item back for cash, or fluid assets, and that is what we call an exchange.

Now, if you were to place that item back on the market, odds are that you wouldn't be able to pull the same amount of fluid cash back out, because of a market concept called "depreciation." Not to mention that it's now competing with every other version of it out there. But what if you could mobilize your asset without cashing it in, keeping it in solid state but still generating transactions effectively circumnavigating depreciation altogether?

That's where Swade's platform comes in. By removing currency from the equation, you eliminate anything relevant to "resale", including depreciation altogether. Once you're trading off the basis of what you want and what you need, there's no need for corporations and the masses to dictate what a good price point is, so you can sit there to decide for yourself. Additionally, since you're not just looking for cash, you have infinite more options as a "seller" since you can now trade it for literally anything on the planet.* Again, there's no obligation to trade, so you retain the ability to see what you could get, without taking any risk at all. Now, you can trade for items worth higher, lower, or equal to the value of your item because the valuation is based off of the needs of the "buyer" instead of the "market price".

Do that strategically and you could incrementally increase the value of the items you have, effectively growing your net value without ever touching your cash.

Oh, and the best part? It's free.

*anything that's legal to exchange given that the owner is willing to trade in exchange for your offered item.
