Robin Hood Project

First Step:

The Cooperative of the Precariat

Changing the affective andemotional relationship peoplehave with Finance

Robin Hood is a process, an ongoing agenda

It takes different shapes and uses different tools at different times.

As an idea it is free, and as a process it is open source.

In its heart, it is all of us. It lives!

What Robin Hood wants is simple

To provide means of economic power and options to those without them.

To create alternative financial services.

Services that correspond to the needs, dreams and desires of the new

type of economic agents we are becoming.

Hacking Finance

Finance is technology to open new opportunities

We just don’t have access to its operating system

So we have decided to hack it!

We are Finance Hackers.

Robin Hood Coopertative is a twisted hedge fund

First, it is a cooperative. Individuals who buy shares of the cooperative decide how

it is run. One member, one vote.

Second, the money put into the fund is placed in the Wall Street stock exchange

by an algorithm called “The Parasite”.

Third, per the Robin Hood principle, part of the profit generated by the fund is

invested into projects building the commons.

We need to update

We have come to understand that the co-op model is obsolete...

We have been working on its own update.

We are moving our system and modes of interaction and exchange into the

Ethereum Blockchain.
