RE: My belief ... Life is Short don't waste it..
I was once at the same place as you are. Not sure if the Cryptocurrency space was something I was willing to take a risk and get behind. I started asking "why" a lot. Why does it exist? Why are so many people working and developing it? Why are some people so against it? For are some people over the top excited about it?
I started learning more about it and how it was helping people all over the globe. I started seeing enough facts to justify its purpose of existence and I started to see the possibilities of what it might become in the future.
When I only think about myself and what it can do for me, it's rather boring and I lose interest, but when I think about the impact it can have and already has had on so many people's lives around the world, I don't hold a monetary value to it, but instead I see it as a vehicle of change for the better of mankind.
A thought that came to me this week was this. Every time they up in value, it's enriching the buying power of millions of people who need to buy food, goods and services for their families in places I can't help directly by physically traveling there and handing them resources.
The risk is small in comparison to what the potentially impact it can have on countless lives in the future. Yes it is real. It's real because enough people are behind it to make it so and that's enough for me to put some time and money behind it.
