I like some of the concepts behind this freicon, it disincentives pump and dump and pyramid schemes. I personally will never put money in bit coins because it is like a pyramid scheme. Again what we really need is probably frictionless digital payments, not another currency.

You should never put money in freicoins either. Rather you should use it for buying and selling things, and just keep enough at hand for cash-flow purposes. What we want is a frictionless medium for digital payments, with good economic properties. Bitcoin doesn't offer that.

I appreciated the thoughts behind it, the relation between interest rates and incentives for investment is not something I thought about. It makes a lot more sense to me than bitcoins.
