Abstract: A method of generating a graphical user interface for monetizing social affirmations includes displaying, on a user feed of the graphical user interface, a post including summary information of a project for which monetary contributions are accepted, the post including a link to a project details page including detailed information of the project that is more detailed than the summary information, and displaying, within or adjacent to the post, a social affirmation button by which a user of the graphical user interface may indicate an affirmation of the project, the affirmation causing a fixed amount of a virtual currency to be transferred from a store of virtual currency associated with the user to a store of virtual currency associated with the project.
