Who are we anyway?

In Chris’ spare time he likes to compete in laundry shifting competitions and Pringles stacking

events. His favorite things to do on this planet are to help others and have fun while doing so –

that’s where his passion lies.

When not on the golf course, Cal spends his leisure time dancing to 90’s music hoping that the

electronic necktie makes it back to the front of the music scene. Known for one to have a good

time, Cal finds his passion in helping to solve others’ problems.

Solution? Users are granted access by verifying themselves via phone, address, & social media accounts.

Ratings and reviews are given as completed deals and trades are made with other users. High fees are circumvented through guaranteed low exchange costs & alternative payment methods, like bitcoin. User-driven communities are encouraged and can be formed to build guilds and connections - much like MeetUp.

Wish-lists are aligned automatically with a built-in algorithm that shops for

users even when they aren’t on SavySwap.

Compliance with gov.

Avoid the nuisance of filing 1099-B forms with the IRS - SavySwap will streamline and make the entire process super easy. SavySwap will log, stamp, and date each deal its users complete to their account in a “swapfeed” so they can easily file all

tax forms at the end of the year.

SavySwap will also capitalize on additional profit opportunity by filing forms for their users with the IRS!

• May be used when money is limited

• Allows the less enfranchised to store wealth in ways less volatile than money

• Relies on traders having what the other wants
