You were born with value.
Not because of what you produce, what you earn, or how much you spend - but simply because you are.
Because you belong to this land, and this land belongs to you.
ffi is a new currency for Wales.
But it’s more than money - it’s a movement.
A movement into a new world.
With ffi, we don’t do taxes.
We do tributes - offered freely, with heart.
from the land, to the people, and back again.
Tributes are not demanded, but gifted.
And when we give from love, we create from love.
This is how we will build again.
A new healthcare system that honours healing, not profit.
An education system that nurtures curiosity, not conformity.
A social care system that values every life - from cradle to elderhood.
All of it rooted in the soil of Wales - in the valleys, the mountains, the water, and the language.
ffi flows from Wales' earth, and circulates through the hands of her people.
It is not here to douse the flames of the systems that are burning down,
It is here to rewrite the rules entirely from their ashes, and to place humans and land at the centre of our economy.
You don’t have to earn your place here.
You are not discarded if you are not deemed valuable.
You already belong.
And ffi is your tribute.
Our tribute.
Join us in building a Wales that remembers its worth.
From birthright. From love. From the ground up.
Where the people of Wales place their value is where the value shall be created.
In Welsh, the word “ffi” means tribute - a gift, an offering, a sign of respect.
The ffi symbol is used in place of existing currency symbols like £ $ €
How ffi Works
What Could Stop ffi - And How We Succeed Anyway
1. People Might Not Trust It (Yet)
We're used to money backed by governments, banks, or materials. FFI is backed by something less familiar — us. Our trust. Our belief in each other.
🛠 How we succeed:
-
Start small and local — grow trust through use, not theory.
-
Show real-world examples of FFI supporting people, businesses, and projects.
-
Keep it transparent: open records, open conversations, and community accountability.
2. Existing Powers May Try to Dismiss or Undermine It
Governments, banks, and institutions may call it illegitimate or “unregulated.” They may feel threatened by a currency that doesn’t flow through their hands.
🛠 How we succeed:
-
Remember: we are not asking for permission.
-
Keep everything peaceful, purposeful, and legal within our own frameworks.
-
Build strong networks of solidarity - so even when one door closes, many remain open.
3. It Won’t Work Without Participation
FFI only has value because we give it value. If people don’t use it, talk about it, or trust it, it stays an idea — not a living system.
🛠 How we succeed:
-
Make FFI useful: for food, care, healing, learning — things people actually need.
-
Encourage local businesses and projects to accept FFI alongside money.
-
Celebrate every act of participation, no matter how small — it all counts.
4. People Might Feel Confused or Overwhelmed
New ideas can feel complicated, especially when they break with everything we’ve known about money and worth.
🛠 How we succeed:
-
Keep language simple and human.
-
Use stories and examples, not just systems.
-
Offer support, conversations, and community - no one learns alone.
5. It's not an overnight fix
ffi is not magic. It's a movement. It won’t instantly replace broken systems. It will take time, trial, and collective care.
🛠 How we succeed:
-
Set realistic goals: one village, one project, one community at a time.
-
Stay patient and flexible - mistakes are part of building something alive.
-
Celebrate progress - every time someone chooses ffi, the world changes a little.
And Most of All...
We succeed when we remember that this is not about money.
It’s about value. Belonging. Care. Community.
No government or market can take that away once we claim it.
When the power of the people overcomes the people in power, then the world will know true peace.
May it begin in Wales, with ffi - a tribute.
