Vandercoin

Vandercoin is a proprietary cryptocurrency created by the Vanderstank Family of Universal Cosmic Knowledge. It is fully centralized, meaning the Church of Vanderstank (as well as the family's Grand Overlord) has ultimate control over all existing Vandercoin in existence.

Value
Unlike the Dollar or Euro, or any other national currency, Vandercoin's value is backed up by Thought Power as a unit prescribed by the Church. Thought Power, being inextricably linked with the spiritual power of an individual within the Church, allows Vandercoin debts to be paid off either in standard Vandercoin or through a Church-approved act of "spiritual debt rebalancing", which rebalances the individual's spiritual position in the Family to pay off their debts.

Predecessors
Vandercoin is similar in some ways to the Vanderpoint, which was another proprietary Family currency from its creation in 2016 until the collapse of Vanderstank Industries, Ltd. in March 2018. The Vanderpoint was also based on thought power, although its structure was vastly more complex as ownership of the currency was modeled on the stock market with ownership categories including Eyes, Hands, and Mouths, which often correlated with a members' ranks within the Family.
