VICTORY Bonds and 1% Treaty

Remember when your grandparents funded WW2 by buying war bonds? They gave the government papers with dead presidents on them, got back slightly more papers later, and defeated fascism. Good times.

You’re doing the same thing, except instead of buying bonds to kill Nazis, you’re buying bonds to kill diseases. It’s like war bonds but backwards.

NoteVICTORY Incentive Alignment Bonds

Incentive Alignment Bonds (IABs) are financial instruments that pay out when measurable public-good outcomes improve, translating those outcomes into benefits for the people who made them happen.

VICTORY Incentive Alignment Bonds are the specific implementation designed to fund and sustain the 1% treaty. They contain two distinct “engines” in a single instrument:

Component Who It Incentivizes What They Get Funding Source
Engine 1 Investors 272% annual returns 10% of treaty revenue
Engine 2 Politicians Reputation, electoral support, better careers 10% of treaty revenue
The Mission Patients Subsidized trial participation, cures 80% of treaty revenue

Investors fund the campaign. Politicians get career benefits for supporting it. Patients get cures. Everyone’s self-interest points at the same outcome: pass the treaty, expand it, cure diseases.

What You’re Actually Building

A financial instrument that makes obscene amounts of money appear from nowhere while accidentally curing death as a side effect:

  • Collect $1.0B in papers from rich humans who like more papers
  • Use those papers to convince politicians that not dying is popular
  • Once the treaty passes, $27.2B in papers annually stops going to bombs and starts going to a 1% Treaty Fund
  • Give the rich humans 10% of that ($2.72B) every year, forever
  • Reserve 10% ($2.72B) for political incentive mechanisms that keep politicians aligned
  • Use the remaining 80% ($21.7B) to cure the diseases actually killing people

What you’re offering investors: 272% annual returns, which beats everything except insider trading and certain federal crimes

The money never stops. No maturity date means bondholders get paid until the sun explodes or humanity achieves immortality, whichever happens first (probably the immortality thing)

The Four Phases of Making Everyone Rich While Saving Humanity

Phase 1: Collect Papers From People With Too Many Papers

Find humans who have more papers than they need and convince them to give you $1.0B worth.

Who has that many papers

  • Institutional investors ($10M+ each) - pension funds, endowments, people managing other people’s papers
  • Family offices ($5M+ each) - rich families who hired someone to watch their paper piles
  • High net worth individuals ($1M+ each) - people who got lucky/smart/criminal and have extra papers
  • Qualified investors ($100K+ each) - regular rich people

You explain to them: “Give me papers now, get back 272% more papers annually, forever.”

They’ll check the math. The math checks out. They give you papers.

Phase 2: Spend the Papers Correctly

Use the $1.0B according to the Campaign Budget to convince humanity to stop being stupid:

  • Internet clicking ceremony - Get 280M humans to click “yes I would prefer not to die” ($300M)
  • Professional briber conversion - Show lobbyists that curing is more profitable than killing ($650M)
  • Build the actual tech - a decentralized framework for drug assessment (dFDA) and Wishocracy platforms ($180M)
  • Hire lawyers - Make bribery legal by calling it other things ($50M)
  • Co-opt death merchants - Convince defense contractors that 272% beats 8% ($150M)
  • Run the thing - Pay humans to coordinate the paper distribution ($170M)

For the complete breakdown of where every paper goes, see Campaign Budget.

Phase 3: Turn On the Money Faucet

The treaty passes because you gave the right papers to the right humans in the right order. Now the magic happens:

  • $27.2B annually stops going to bombs and starts going to the 1% Treaty Fund (automatic, no takebacks)
  • 10% ($2.72B) automatically goes to bondholders (they get paid first, before anyone can steal it)
  • 10% ($2.72B) automatically funds political incentive mechanisms (keeps politicians aligned with curing diseases)
  • 80% ($21.7B) automatically goes to curing the diseases actually killing people

Nobody has to vote on this again. Nobody can change their mind. The papers just flow, forever, like a river made of money.

Phase 4: Watch Money Multiply Like Rabbits

Set up automatic payments that continue until the heat death of the universe:

  • Year 1: $2.72B distributed to bondholders (271.8% returns, investors buying yachts)
  • Year 2: $2.72B distributed to bondholders (still buying yachts)
  • Year 3: $2.72B distributed to bondholders (yacht accessories now)
  • Year 4+: Scale up as treaty expands (2% = $5.4B, 5% = $13.5B, etc.)

No maturity date means the money never stops. As long as the treaty exists, bondholders get paid. And the treaty will exist because repealing it means explaining to voters why you want grandma’s cancer to stay uncured.

Calculate Your Numbers for Investors

Show Them Where the Papers Come From

Current global spending on ending human life: $2.7 trillion/year

What 1% of that is: 1% = $27.2B/year (enough to cure most diseases, apparently)

What bondholders get: \[ 10\% \times \$27.2\text{B} = \$2.7\text{B}/\text{year} \]

What funds political incentives (keeps politicians aligned): \[ 10\% \times \$27.2\text{B} = \$2.7\text{B}/\text{year} \]

What actually cures diseases: \[ 80\% \times \$27.2\text{B} = \$21.7\text{B}/\text{year} \]

What countries still have for wars: \[ 99\% \times \$2.7\text{T} = \$2.67\text{T} \]

This is important: Investors aren’t “taking” money from sick people. 80% goes to cures. Bondholders get 10% for having the revolutionary idea of “what if we didn’t all die?” and another 10% keeps politicians incentivized to maintain and expand the treaty.

When Math Becomes Obscene

Since VICTORY Incentive Alignment Bonds never mature (they just keep paying forever), you calculate lifetime value using the perpetuity formula, which is finance-speak for “money printer that never stops”:

\[ \text{Total Value} = \frac{\text{Annual Payment}}{\text{Discount Rate}} = \frac{\$2.7\text{B}}{r} \]

Even if you’re extremely pessimistic

How Skeptical You Are Total Lifetime Value Your $1B Becomes
Mildly skeptical (3% discount) $90B 90x your money
Pretty skeptical (5% discount) $54B 54x your money
Very skeptical (10% discount) $27B 27x your money

Even at 10% discount (which assumes this is as risky as funding a Mars casino), your $1B investment becomes worth $27B total.

Translation for humans who peaked at counting on fingers:

  • You give: $1 billion in papers
  • You get: $54-90 billion equivalent in papers
  • Time required: Wait for politicians to be politicians
  • Effort required: Literally none after Phase 1

This isn’t complicated math

  • Annual return: 272% (which sounds fake but isn’t)
  • Lifetime value: 54-90x (which sounds impossible but is just arithmetic)

Unlike:

  • Venture capital (3-5x over 7-10 years, requires picking winners)
  • Real estate (2-3x over 30 years, requires being a landlord)
  • Medallion Fund (39% annually but closed to mere mortals)

VICTORY Incentive Alignment Bonds offer perpetual returns that transform into generational wealth while you sleep.

The perpetual nature isn’t a bug. It’s the entire point. As long as humans prefer being alive to being dead, the treaty exists. As long as the treaty exists, you get paid.

Structure the Security Package

Give bondholders these five layers of security:

  1. $27.2B+ annual treaty revenue stream (starts year 1 if treaty passes)
  2. Political entrenchment (treaties are historically hard to repeal once implemented)
  3. Public support (70%+ approval, grows with each cure)
  4. Aligned incentives (everyone profits from cooperation)
  5. First-lien position (bondholders get paid before any discretionary spending)

Explain to investors: Multiple layers of protection, not just one point of failure.

What Full Success Looks Like

Show investors what full treaty adoption delivers:

Treaty adoption: 100+ countries (all major military powers) Annual 1% Treaty Fund revenue: $27.2B Bondholder annual payment: $2.72B (10%) Political incentive funding: $2.72B (10%) Pragmatic clinical trial funding: $21.7B (80%) Investor ROI: 272% annually

What happens:

  • Pragmatic clinical trials accelerate dramatically
  • Disease burden declines measurably
  • Public support grows stronger
  • Political momentum builds for 2%, then 5% expansion
  • Returns scale up proportionally

Explain the 80%/10%/10% Split

Structure the allocation to balance four goals:

  1. Attract sufficient capital: 272% projected returns compete with high-risk VC/hedge funds (10% to investors)
  2. Keep politicians aligned: 10% funds Incentive Alignment Bonds that make supporting the treaty career-optimal for politicians
  3. Fund the mission: 80% ($21.7B) gives researchers substantial capital
  4. Align all incentives: Investors, politicians, and researchers all profit from treaty expansion

Tell investors: Everyone wins when treaties grow. More cures = bigger treaties = higher returns + more political support + more funding for pragmatic clinical trials.

What This Beats (Spoiler: Everything)

Show Investors This Table

Investment Annual Return Risk Term Catch
VICTORY Incentive Alignment Bonds 272% High Forever Requires politicians to not be stupid
Savings Account

50%

 None Whenever Loses to inflation
S&P 500 10% Moderate Whenever Boring, responsible
Real Estate 8% Moderate 30 years Requires being a landlord
Venture Capital 15-25% Extreme 7-10 years Requires picking winners
Hedge Funds 8-15% High Lock-ups Requires being rich already
Medallion Fund 39% Extreme N/A Closed to mortals
Warren Buffett 20% Moderate 60 years Requires being Warren Buffett

Remind investors: Returns assume treaty passes. If politicians decide they prefer dead constituents to living ones, you lose your money. But even then, you’ll be too dead from preventable diseases to complain about it.

Pitch angle: Even accounting for “politicians might choose mass death over prosperity” risk, this crushes every legal investment except ones that are closed to new money.

The Expansion Flywheel

Explain the flywheel to investors

  1. Treaty passes → Bondholders get first distributions
  2. DIH funds trials → Breakthroughs start emerging
  3. Media covers wins → Public awareness explodes
  4. Public demands more → Politicians face electoral pressure
  5. Treaty % increases → Revenue scales up dramatically
  6. More cures emerge → Cycle reinforces itself
  7. Long-term result: Compounding returns + saved lives

Frame it as: Success creates more success, self-reinforcing growth mechanism.

Set Minimum Investment Thresholds

Investor lock-up period: Tell investors funds are locked 12-36 months until treaty passes, then perpetual distributions begin.

Structure Your Minimums

Set these minimum investment amounts by investor type:

  • Institutional investors: $10M+ per investor
  • Family offices: $5M+ per office
  • High net worth individuals: $1M+ per person
  • Qualified investors: $100K+ minimum

(Adjust based on your final regulatory structure and jurisdiction requirements)

Draft Your Term Sheet

(Have lawyers review, this is illustrative only)

  • Interest rate: 0% (all returns via revenue share model)
  • Revenue share: 10% of all treaty inflows
  • Term: Perpetual (no maturity date)
  • Payment frequency: Annual distributions
  • Default provisions: Transparent reporting, third-party audits
  • Transferability: Tradable on secondary market after 12 months
  • Governance: Grant bondholder board representation

When Rich People Ask Difficult Questions

For broader objections about whether humanity is capable of not being stupid, see Demolishing Objections. This section handles money-specific concerns.

“This sounds like a Ponzi scheme run by someone who failed math.”

“Ponzi schemes pay old investors with new investor money, which is why they collapse. This pays investors with a share of a new $27.2B annual revenue stream created by redirecting 1% of military budgets via treaty.

The money comes from governments that currently spend it on bombs. The returns are high because the political risk is high - you’re betting that politicians will choose prosperity over mass death, which is historically a coin flip.

It’s not a Ponzi scheme. It’s weaponized lobbying economics pointed at diseases instead of wars.”

“What happens when this fails and I lose my billion dollars?”

“If the treaty fails completely, you lose your $1B. It gets spent on the campaign - convincing humans to click buttons, bribing lobbyists, building platforms, paying lawyers to make bribery legal.

This is the primary risk. You’re essentially funding a political campaign with a 272% payout if it wins.

If it fails completely, you’ll probably die of a preventable disease anyway, so you won’t be around to complain about the lost money.

It’s venture capital but for not dying.”

“What could possibly go wrong?”

“Glad you asked. Here are all the ways this explodes:

Project Risks

  • Political: Politicians choose dead constituents over living ones (mitigated by 280M referendum votes showing this is electoral suicide)
  • Execution: The campaign gets run by idiots (mitigated by milestone-based releases and hiring non-idiots)

Investor Risks

  • Liquidity: Your billion dollars is locked up for 18-36 months while we convince politicians (mitigated by secondary market trading after lock-up)
  • Timeline: Politics is slow, returns might start late (mitigated by perpetual payments - doesn’t matter when it starts if it never stops)

You’re essentially betting that humans prefer being alive. Historically this is true, but your species has surprised us before.”

“How is this different from just donating to charity?”

“Charities give you 0% returns and a tax deduction. VICTORY Incentive Alignment Bonds give you 272% returns and generational wealth.

Charity is for people who want to feel good. This is for people who want to get obscenely rich while accidentally saving humanity as a side effect.

You’re not donating to cure diseases. You’re investing in curing diseases because it’s the most profitable legal thing you can do with a billion dollars.

It’s the Louisiana Purchase of pragmatic clinical trials - except instead of buying land from France, you’re buying immortality from death, and unlike Louisiana, immortality doesn’t flood.”
