The point is not to know if OP can be a horse behind a computer or not.

I want to understand the idea behind the project.
I don't see how the project is helping the farmers using urea.
Cryptocurency lead to massive pump and dump. How can we expect people to rely on it ?
What if millions of people lose all their wealth and are forced to starvation because of a dump from a nerd with a massive GPU farm ?
This is a caricature but do someone see the point ?


Uro's utility to a farmer is not affected by the behaviour of traders on the exchanges: A farmer that holds Uro will get his/her Urea when he/she needs it - without having to worry about Urea or Uro price changes - because the Uro Protocol legally binds the NIERs to this commitment for the next ten years - with more NIERs joining the Foundation in the coming months. This commitment is just the beginning - because it currently only caters for whole ship orders of 12,500 MT - we are in ground-breaking discussions with Urea wholesalers right now to facilitate smaller orders. We invision that one day, 1 MT Urea purchases will be possible with Uro.

All of this is possible because of the Uro Protocol backing Uro to 1 MT of Urea. Its unique, its different - its not a backing to USD, its not a backing to any fiat currency or even any cryptocurrency. Uro is a different animal all together - a currency backed to a manufactured commodity - a commodity that is crucial to the upkeeping of civilization.

All that have ever been released upon this community in the past has been concentrated on getting a high BTC exchange rate, but BTC itself is volatile - and so is any other currency including fiat. Uro is the fresh approach - a backing to the real needs of the human race - the need to grow food.

Think about this - if a war breaks out and your life is in danger - what is a bank note? what is even a gold bar? The only thing that matters is safety and sustenance. Food and whatever is required to produce it are the only constants - the only things that are universally valued in the same way by every  person on earth - if fact - they are the only things universally valued by all life everywhere. It does not matter if its a plant, an animal, a human or an alien - all have to eat.
