Our Story
From a Conversation to a Conviction.
It began at the end of 2024, with the kind of conversation that happens between good friends. André and Markus were talking about mindset, about awareness, about a single question: can an inner conviction really change the world outside?
At some point, the conversation turned to gratitude — not the polite kind, the real kind. The simple recognition that life had been good to them. They lived in a safe country. There was always enough to eat. A roof overhead. Wonderful children. How could you not be grateful?
And then they spoke about fate. About the things we can influence, and the things we cannot. A stroke of fate. An accident. Suddenly no longer being able to walk — and everything that would mean. The freedom you lose in an instant; a freedom you had never even noticed you possessed.
Almost in passing, a simple question came up: “Do you donate?”
In that moment — out of gratitude, out of awareness of their own good fortune, out of thinking about the people who don’t share it — a wish took shape: to give something back. Not vaguely. Concretely. Sustainably. In a way that could grow. Both of them were working with cryptocurrencies at the time — a market where, almost always, only one thing matters: profit.
How can you take on social responsibility in a market built entirely on gain — and truly connect profit with doing good?
The answer to that question is FutureVibes.
From a Question to a Foundation
Out of that conversation came Vibes4Future: a voluntary, nonprofit association, founded on 1 February 2025 in Kirchberg and granted tax-exempt status by the Canton of Bern. We chose Switzerland as our home not by accident, but for what it stands for — stability and legal certainty, a foundation solid enough to build something lasting upon.
And from the association came $VIBES — a token that does not treat charity as an afterthought, but carries it at its very core. This is the idea that turns the contradiction on its head: a project where doing good and creating value are not opposites, but the same movement.
More Than a Project
To us, the name is not just a label for what we do. It is a way of living. A conviction that gratitude should become action, that good fortune carries responsibility, and that the right idea — built carefully and openly — can genuinely change lives.
Where We Are Going
We are still at the beginning of this journey, and we are building it step by step. But the conviction that started it all has not changed: people with limited mobility deserve more than sympathy. They deserve independence, dignity, and a real chance at the life they choose.
This is our story. We would be honored to have you become part of it.
