The Risk of Cryptocurrencies and the Alkaimi Solution
On January 3, 2009, Bitcoin introduced the world to cryptocurrency. For over 15 years, advocates promised a revolution in finance—a decentralized future free from traditional financial constraints. Nearly 14,000 cryptocurrencies exist today, yet they have failed to deliver on these promises. Worse, their inherent flaws pose significant risks to global financial stability, economic growth, and societal well-being.
By design, cryptocurrencies are not just flawed—they are destructive. Recognizing this, in 2012, 50 of the world’s leading experts in law, regulation, economics, technology, governance, and banking convened to answer a series of questions including:
“What does it take to deliver on the promises of cryptocurrency while eliminating the economic risks these technologies inherently create?”
The answer lay not in improving cryptocurrencies but in creating something fundamentally different. This led to the development of the AIDM—a transformational product with robust ties to pre-1920 banking principles and modern regulations. AIDM is such a revolutionary asset that it required a new classification, the Digitized Tangible Asset (DTA). DTAs are the foundation of the Alkaimi Ecosystem. When working with other required components, they are jointly designed to end cryptocurrency’s destructive cycle and protect the global economy.
The Flaws of Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies fail as financial instruments because their design prioritizes speculation over productivity and stability. Their flaws are not minor—they are systemic and deeply harmful:
No Trust Anchor or Guarantee
Cryptocurrencies do not provide a responsible party to guarantee value. Their reliance on speculation, combined with the absence of accountability, renders them inherently unstable and unreliable as monetary mechanisms.
Economic Destabilization
Cryptocurrencies remove money from circulation, devastating the velocity of money—a critical factor for economic growth. Hoarding and speculative practices encourage deflationary spirals, reducing trade, causing job losses, and limiting the availability of goods and services. This stagnation leads to systemic risks like economic depression and urban blight.
Speculative Reliance Without Tangible Backing
Unlike AIDM, which is anchored to tangible assets, cryptocurrencies derive value solely from speculation. They lack intrinsic worth, making them similar to historic economic bubbles, such as Tulip Mania, but on a much larger and more dangerous scale.
Inflexible Supply and Technological Vulnerabilities
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin operate as fixed monetary pools, incapable of adjusting to economic demand. Their reliance on outdated cryptographic algorithms also exposes them to emerging threats like quantum computing, jeopardizing their future viability.
A Tool for Economic Destruction
Beyond their economic flaws, cryptocurrencies facilitate illicit activities, money laundering, and manipulation. Their unregulated nature amplifies systemic risks, encouraging greed and exacerbating inequality.
The consequences of these flaws are dire. Cryptocurrencies do not create economic opportunity—they destroy it. By hoarding wealth and destabilizing economies, they threaten the global financial system and undermine progress.
The Alkaimi Solution: AIDM as a Transformational Product
The Alkaimi Ecosystem, powered by DTAs, is the antithesis of cryptocurrency. It was designed not to improve cryptocurrencies, but to replace them entirely. The Alkaimi ecosystem corrects the cryptocurrencies' systemic flaws by reintroducing robust ties to pre-1920 banking principles and modern regulations. Its creation is anchored in lawful processes, intrinsic value, and tangible backing.
AIDM as a Transformational Product
AIDM represents a new era of digital money, built to restore trust and stability to global finance. Unlike cryptocurrencies, Digitized Tangible Assets (DTAs) are:
Insured: Backed by real-world, tangible asset pools.
Audited: Validated through the Alkaimi licensed provider framework.
Intrinsic in Value: Reflective of the economic worth of the tangible assets they represent.
By anchoring value to tangible assets, DTAs eliminate speculation and ensure that monetary mechanisms contribute directly to economic activity. Their dynamic adjustment of monetary pools ensures that the money supply grows in proportion to economic demand, avoiding the rigidity and deflationary cycles of cryptocurrencies.
The Alkaimi Ecosystem: A Comprehensive Design
The Alkaimi Ecosystem is a three-component system designed to ensure trust, transparency, and economic growth:
DTAs
The ecosystem uses a world-first Digitized Tangible Asset (DTA), technology that restores intrinsic value to money. DTAs within a NEXUS OF VALUE dynamically adjust monetary pools based on real-world demand, ensuring stability and scalability.
Licensed Provider Framework
A network of independently operated licensed providers ensures regulatory compliance and transparency. Providers work within a walled garden system to create, validate, and audit DTAs, maintaining their integrity and value.
The Vault Application
The Vault application connects consumers to the Alkaimi Ecosystem, offering secure access to DTAs while promoting the velocity of money. By ensuring DTAs circulate actively within the economy, the Vault drives vibrant trade, job creation, and sustainable growth.
Example: Alkaimi in Action
Imagine a small agricultural cooperative in a developing country. Traditionally, this cooperative struggles with limited credit access, high loan rates, and cash-based transactions. Cryptocurrencies offer no solution; their speculative nature removes money from circulation and stifles growth.
Through the Alkaimi, the cooperative can obtain capital from its currently incapacitated and underutilized but tangible assets, such as land, equipment, and future production, into DTAs.
These DTAs:
Provide immediate funding as consumers purchase them based on their insured, intrinsic value.
Allow the cooperative to invest in operations, hire workers, and expand production.
Circulate money back into the economy as the cooperative pays suppliers and employees.
Unlike cryptocurrencies, which stagnate economies, the three unique components in the Alkaimi ecosystem drive economic activity. By aligning monetary mechanisms with real-world needs, the Alkaimi ecosystem creates a self-reinforcing cycle of growth that benefits consumers, businesses, and the global economy.
Why Alkaimi Succeeds Where Cryptocurrencies Fail
The Alkaimi Ecosystem addresses the systemic flaws of cryptocurrencies by focusing on:
Intrinsic Value Anchored in Tangible Assets
DTAs eliminate speculation by tying value to real-world, insured assets and embedded income streams.
Dynamic Monetary Adjustment
Unlike rigid cryptocurrencies, the Alkaimi ecosystem dynamically adjusts the money supply based on economic demand.
Separation of Lending from Collateralization
DTA operations end the systemic risks of over-collateralized loans, ensuring ethical and sustainable lending practices.
Consumer-Driven Economic Growth
The Alkaimi ecosystem promotes ethical growth, equitable wealth distribution, and vibrant trade by linking monetary expansion to consumer demand.
Conclusion: Ending Cryptocurrency, Protecting Economies, Empowering Consumers
All 14,000 existing cryptocurrencies are failed experiments designed to undermine the economies they claim to empower. Their speculative nature, lack of accountability, and systemic flaws make them unfit for a world that demands stability and progress.
The Alkaimi Ecosystem, powered by DTA, offers the only viable alternative. By reintroducing robust ties to pre-1920 banking principles and modern regulations, anchoring value to tangible assets, and fostering sustainable growth, Alkaimi ends cryptocurrency’s destructive cycle and protects the global economy.
It creates a freer, more balanced financial future driven by trust, value, and consumer empowerment.
