New here? These are the key terms used across FFVCoin.org — no crypto background needed.
- FFVCoin
- Future Farm Value Coin — a digital token backed by real U.S. farm assets. Holders own a micro-share of American agricultural production and can redeem tokens for discounted, USA-grown food.
- FFV
- Future Farm Value — the anticipated productive and economic value of a farm operation over time. FFV is what gets tokenized: land, livestock, anticipated harvests, infrastructure.
- BBtD
- Baby Boom the Debt — a policy document on voluntary Roth conversion, national debt repatriation, and Social Security solvency. Bipartisan framing for a "Sovereign Reset" of American household wealth. Separate from FFVCoin operations but sharing the same national food-security mission.
- GoFarmMe
- GoFarmMe — FFVCoin's crowdfunding model (think GoFundMe, but for farms). Each GoFarmMe pilot is a defined fundraising sprint tied to a specific agricultural project. IRS 1023-EZ approved — live fundraising launches upon TEOS listing.
- RDTESG
- Research, Development, Test, Evaluation, Simulation & Gaming — the Foundation's full mission scope: from scientific farming research and AI development to simulation modeling and educational gaming for food-system literacy.
- Keyboard-to-Dirt
- Our operating philosophy: ideas go directly from AI-assisted design ("keyboard") to live field implementation ("dirt"). No prolonged bureaucracy between concept and action.
- 501(c)(3)
- IRS designation for a tax-exempt public charity. FFVCoin.org Foundation holds this status (EIN 41-4807034), meaning donations are tax-deductible and the Foundation operates for public benefit — not private profit.
- EIN
- Employer Identification Number — a federal tax ID issued by the IRS, like a Social Security number for a business or nonprofit. FFVCoin-org Foundation EIN: 41-4807034.
- Patron
- A farmer or producer who joins the FFVCoin Cooperative (FFVCoin.net) to tokenize part of their operation. Patrons target to retain >>51% operational control of their farm — FFVCoin is a financing tool, not a buyout.
- Investor
- An individual or institution who purchases FFVCoin tokens through crowdfunded pilot offerings. Investor members are typically non-voting members of the FFVCoin.net cooperative — holding digital tokens representing a stake in real farm assets, redeemable for physical food or held for yield.
