Watch for imposters! Only the coin with the official CA will be accepted on this site!
From its inception, Gutenbookpress.com has wanted to bridge the divide between physical assets and digital currencies. In fact, the owners of the site has already dabbled in the process, launching its own meme coin!
The problem is very simple: most manufacturers, suppliers, producers, printers, and the like are not going to accept a crypto-currency in exchange for their products. Thus, any payment made using a crypto-currency would have to be converted into USD at some point in the transaction. This complicates matters.
Nonetheless, the market seems ripe. Crypto-currencies are increasingly accepted for physical products and it is getting easier to convert these into US dollars. Gutenbookpress.com aims to be one of the first online retailers to bridge this gap.
This will occur in several phases. Each phase requires several steps to bring to completion, but in summary:
PHASE 1., the creation of a digital coin, residing on the Solana network, which will be freely available on markets such as https://birdeye.so, but which will always have value because it can be used to purchase digital products on Gutenbookpress.com. [Learn more about PHASE 1]
PHASE 2., once this coin has achieved a level of price stability, Gutenbookpress.com will begin making available physical products. At that point, the coin should safely be convertible into SOL without hurting the value of the digital coin significantly. From there, it can be converted from SOL into USD to complete the transaction. Somewhere between Phase 1 and Phase 2, the goal is to list the coin on CMC or CG and then CEX.

PHASE 3., once the bugs have been worked out in the process described in PHASE 2, Gutenbookpress.com will expand its inventory of books so that it nearly rivals Amazon and Barnes and Noble. At this point, Gutenbookpress.com will be able to offer something that none of these online book retailers offer, and that is the ability to purchase hard copy editions of books in print! [Learn more about PHASE 3]
PHASE 4., Upon the successful implementation of PHASE 3, Gutenbookpress.com will explore going ‘full’ Amazon! Besides books, other products will be offered as well. The number and type of products will be increased. At this point, Gutenbookpress.com will be poised to be the next Amazon–but offering the ability to purchase items using crypto-currencies! [Learn more about PHASE 4]
Throughout each of these phases, Gutenbookpress.com’s native coin will be accepted on the site, but as time goes on, and the mechanisms for crypto-to-USD are established, other digital currencies will be accepted as well.
Ultimate goal: Gutenbookpress.com goes public.
Coin management: minting authority will be revoked and the liquidity will be 100% locked for 1 year. Gutenbookpress.com will reserve 10% of the coin supply which will be managed conservatively.
Incentives: Besides accepting the GBUCK for purchases on the site, the site will reward users for their participation. For example, leaving reviews would earn a user GBUCKs. More TBD and TBA.
