Being part of one system does not mean you do not have access to the other. That would be like allowing people to use US Dollars, but not Euros. Work hours must be tradable between other currencies in order for the transition to take effect and the system to work and be compatible.
Either way, I think there is a way to work out your concern using only the work hour system, without a dependency from the current system. But before getting there, there are a few points that need to be considered.
The fact that you are thinking about investors is already putting a limitation on the development of the idea. The point of working under a time based system is so that we can remove the limitation imposed by the current system.
At this point, in order to bring any idea to reality you need money. That, in my opinion, is one of the biggest design flaws of the current monetary system.
Social reforms, scientific goals, new technologies, infrastructure projects, housing developments, medical research, education and food programs. All without exception are limited by the amount of money and funding which is available, and while this logic remains true, solutions will be insufficient or fall short to solve problems on a global scale, for all mankind.
So we have to find and design a way, a system that does not constrain our creativity and possibility to reach our goals, while maintaining environmental balance.
To do that, we need to think outside of the box, we cannot think about bringing a product to reality, building a bridge or creating a company using work hours as if we were within the current system because we would never arrive at anything different.
Hopefully I'm making sense up till now, so here's how I think it could work.
So you are part of the current system, have a good idea, the drive, the motivation to bring a product to the market but you don't have money. You look at the work hour system as a viable option because it promises to allow you to bring a product to the market with ease.
What do you do?
The first thing you need to do is login to a website where you can subscribe to the system. In many ways similar to how you would enroll to an airline mileage plan. You fill out your profile, credentials, career, experience and information that will allow the system to determine your hourly multiplier.
You do the same thing with all of your business partners, employees and the company itself.
The reason why you need this "centralized" system is so that it can be audited and people are not abusing it to increase their multipliers. It would not need to be a global "NWO" institution. Counties, local governments could monitor activity, and they themselves would be audited by private companies and vice-versa.
Once you are enrolled, a software or hardware based product is sent to you along with all registration documents. Software would be installed on your computer to monitor the amount of time you actually work or hardware, very similar to time stamps used everywhere, would be installed to monitor the amount of time each person works.
So now you are gaining hours, but there are still many things missing.
Now, as most small business do, you start out small. So you would not rent a 10000 sqf building, you need to work your way up, so you and your partners or employees probably start working from home. Saving up hours.
You don't have to sell anything an you are already earning a compensation, why? because you are working and your experience, all the years you went to school, your talents as an individual, your capability as a team, your creativity, your motivation to innovate and what you give back to society, have value, and the system is designed to compensate for that.
So get to work. Start designing your great idea your awesome product. Save up the hours so that you can get computers, rent a place and get furniture. Work so that you can accumulate hours that will allow you to pay for utilities. Talk to people who are interested in your idea and want to help you. Bring them to your company so that they too earn hours for what they do. If someone is spending the whole day doing nothing just gaining up hours, let them go, they are taking up space from your company and are slowing you down from reaching your goal.
Design your product, make it perfect, re-invented, polish it. Save up hours and exchange them for RMB so that you can pay a chinese factory to make you a nice prototype. Or work and save up more so that you can get a CNC machine and learn how to do it yourself.
So much work, so much hours and we are not even close to getting that product to the market. WTF!
Well, after months of work, you finally have your product, ready to take it to the market. Ready to make millions of dollars.
Whats the catch? Well, If you are part of the Work Hour system, people do not pay you. You have already received your compensation. So why would you earn double? It would not be fair.
However, it would also be unfair not to be recognized if you make an extremely popular product, that is green, benefits society and innovates. THere has to be an incentive for people to want to create new things for their own benefit, not only for the benefit of society, because it is human nature. In turn, the system has to be designed to recognize that effort and that condition.
So we go back to multipliers. If you are earning 35 Hours per hour, but your product is green, perhaps that raises your multiplier slightly. If your product has 5 patents on it, that raises the multiplier a bit more, and if millions of people are buying or benefiting from your product, well that raises your multiplier a whole lot.
You become a millionaire, without ever having to take anything away from anyone else. You are a millionaire not a the expense of poor people. You are a millionaire because you worked and you created something great for society.
One big problem?
Time needs to be acceptable as a unit of exchangeable currency. It must be given value. That is the complicated part, nations would have to agree and that is difficult to do. But the point here is to propose ideas.
If created however, the more people that enroll, the more people that accumulate hours and realize the benefits the system, the more feasible that it becomes.
THe more people that are part of the system, the cheaper things become because gradually, the whole chain of products and services that are needed to make anything, those thousand of companies do not need to pay salaries to their employees so their product can be sold cheaper. A huge competitive advantage, and the condition for the system to spread on a global scale is created.
