The fifth pillar of a MOTIV coin: parting some value to the community

Umigame embodies the venerable virtue of "giving back to the community" implemented by its trustless mechanism through tax redirection to "GiveDirectly" (see Trustless - 3rd pillar). This ancient creature, with its steady and unwavering journey, serves as a poignant metaphor for the cyclical nature of life and the enduring bonds that weave a community together.

The sea turtle's life begins on the very shores of its birth, a place it will inexorably return to, despite the vast oceans it traverses. This return, guided by an innate wisdom, symbolizes a deep-seated sense of duty and gratitude. Just as the umigame returns to lay its eggs on the sands that once cradled it, so too do we, as stewards of our communities, have an obligation to nurture the very foundations that supported our beginnings.

In the Umigame's steadfast pilgrimage, we witness a lesson in resilience and fidelity. It teaches us that to give back is not merely an act of charity, but a fulfillment of a natural cycle—a recognition that our individual journeys are intertwined with the collective path of our community. The sea turtle’s journey is a silent testament to the power of returning what has been given, fostering a legacy of care and continuity.

Hiroshi's design of the contract transcends conventional market dynamics, embodying a philosophical elegance where participation is liberated from the confines of transactional necessity. In this enlightened framework, possession of tokens is not bound to the capricious whims of the free market. Instead, any holder of an airdropped token can seamlessly transfer their coin between wallets (whereby taxes are collected), thereby becoming an integral part of the MOTIV. This fluidity of movement symbolizes a deeper, intrinsic connection to the community, free from the pursuit of acquisition and grounded in the essence of belonging.
