Decentrism.com - blockchain beyond speculation
Welcome to the latest addition to the Decentro Media Network: www.Decentrism.com
This post will be used to outline the purpose of Decentrism.com and what readers can expect from now and into the future.
Ever since I learned about crypto and the blockchain I had two immense feelings:
- The volatility is terrifying yet alluring (and it took me a long time to finally start trading).
- The potential for blockchain tech to allow finance and democracy to evolve in a decentralized manner was completely exhilarating.
Focusing on the potential of blockchain and how it can change our civilization for the better has always been the pull… to the point where this industry is my life. It literally is that much worth it, personally and for the ‘bigger picture’ (what kind of world do I want to leave my children?) – to dedicate myself to what I do.
Decentro Media focuses on projects and people that will make a difference in the future of our communities, economies and civilization. Blockchain is no doubt game changing in the way the internet was and continues to be; a view supported by many. Thus, it is not a grand statement to make, that blockchain tech will indeed change us as a civilization. As a media company our goals are to provide every opportunity that is possible to help spread the word regarding game changing technology, and to try and project where all of this is going.
Travelling around the world to blockchain conventions and meeting project leaders through my media agents (Block 20 Report) – I have discovered what many people already know or feel:
The disproportionate focus on cryptocurrency prices and speculation in this whole industry is exhausting. Of course, the focus on speculation and coin prices is understandable – but the world can lose site entirely of what this industry is really all about at its roots and core: the decentralution*.
*Decentralution: Similar to revolution with the difference of not going in circles like a hamster in a wheel – but rather extending out into new territory with each passing moment as a fractal, where each node is you on your own thread. The fractal becomes more complex and beautiful the more we decentralize, and thus use the power of the collective consciousness via connected communities.
So, Decentrism.com will be covering:
New tech: As news, in the form of sponsored press releases and also in our Project of the Week category – Decentrism (in typical Decentro Media manner) introduce viewers to the best projects happening globally, which will have a significant and positive impact on it’s community.
Analysis: A lot of what we will try to do is unveil the implications of developments now, and project what it means for the future, in our analysis section.
Decentralutionist of the Week: As with any revolution, this decentralution will have its hundreds, if not thousands of decentralutionaries – the people who create the decentralution with their technology, and those who inspire us to see the potential and to get involved. Weekly, we will choose one of the many amazing people who are leading the way with full force and faith – to a better world.
Decentrism
Yup – another ‘ism’ – but this one is far different from any others that we have ever created. Why? It’s an ideology based on the decentralization process of society. Although there has been long ongoing history of decentralization (and struggle between decentralization and centralization) – what we are seeing now is at a whole new level due to blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. The internet was history’s greatest decentralization movement – and blockchain will outdo the internet’s impact by several orders of magnitude.
Decentrism
The definition itself is decentralized. Nice. The ‘ism’ or way of being is completely open to it’s participants. No single person can make a definition of decentrism that suits all humans, engaging in decentralization. We each have to contemplate our own role, and our own stance in how we participate, to what depth we participate (and comprehend). Most importantly – what does it mean to decentralize yourself – as in ‘The I’ – or your ego (should one consider decentralization to such depths, even).
Decentrism
What does unite the ideology is, I think (and may many others hopefully disagree/expand/modify), the foundation beliefs that:
working as a crowd of intelligence can potentially be more powerful/productive than in private small circles
people, business, the economy, cities, countries, governments, services can benefit and also improve through decentralization in a case by case manner (as in I don’t think every single aspect of civilization would be better off decentralized… but all should at least be tested/trialed in an appropriate manner).
a recognition that centralized, top down oversight of society has indeed had a negative impact on our civilization (Democide as an extreme example, the debt based financial system being another).
if a decentralution isn’t fun – then @#$! it… hence ‘Viva la Decentralution!‘
Looking into the structure of the word ‘decentre’ or ‘decenter’ it is clear that in order to uncenter anything, we must truly understand the center. Personally, each individual human alive has a center – or the ego. In application of decentrism to one’s self, we essentially have to consider ‘The I’ and its relation/purpose/contribution to our communities both online and real-world. The process in itself can be very amusing, if not enlightening. It’s not a release of the ego, in a Buddhist sense, but more of an intentional and deep understand of ‘The I’ and its relation to the external reality we engage with everyday of our lives.
In society, as we undergo or consider to undergo the decentralution – we must analyze the truth, in data, factual information regarding our current centralized paradigm. Some of what is happening is and has been ugly for a very long time. But by observing objectively centuries of centralized – we may gain insight on how relevant a decentralized approach may be in order to solve problems, or increase efficiency/effectiveness of current systems.
Decentralizing ‘The I’ posts will be used to explore some of the more esoteric sides of blockchain, decentralization and this movement in general – and how it may all apply to us as individuals. We’ll also explore how to practically decentralize yourself – both online and in the real world, what this means and what happens from these efforts.
Thank you so much for reading this and I look forward to providing you with excellent content regarding what matters most:
Viva la decentralution!
