Adding meaning to cryptocurrencies

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago (edited)

We have been told that the whole of humanity cannot possibly have access to the "privileges" of people located in specific parts of the world. This has to change.

When the true value of cryptocurrencies become apparent to even the most average, an upheaval will likely arise. Having the ability to create local currencies based on actual fairness, where an economic infrastructure is corrupt or non-existant will be one of the many hot potatoes crypto will introduce to the world.

Currently we have several billion people unbanked.. yes, billion. About 2 billion people are unbanked and as a consequence of not having good identity infrastructure and financial infrastructure, they don’t have the ability to climb out of poverty without a considerable amount of assistance. I cannot even comprehend how many people that is.

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of IOHK and co-founder of Ethereum and Cardano has stated that cryptocurrencies is not just about creating a system that will battle against the USD, EURO or even kill all the banks.

These are interesting and intriguing academic concepts along with competition and monetary policies. The reality is that whether one likes or dislikes the system, the Western world has a lot of people living in very bad systems. This should be one of the main pillars to change through the use of blockchain.

Hey @indig0,
Nice read, unfortunately, I have found some things that should be fixed in this post and in further ones.

  • Please mark all pictures with its author, source and copyright. Also, just use images that are allowing a reuse. This post from @mobbs is a very good guideline: Guidelines on Copyright Standards in SteemSTEM
  • There is a not small amount of copied text. I think you'll know where. Write everything in your own words. If you use quotations, then you can use the ">" character to mark the following text as a quote.

I'm a quote

  • It would also be nice if you state the source from which you have the information about which you are writing.
  • To check your text for spelling mistakes and grammar, you can use Grammarly or a word processing program.

As you can see in my first posts, oh I had my difficulties in the beginning. But it is important to stick to it in order not to end up on a blacklist or to be flagged because of plagiarism.
Maybe it would also be nice if you end up with a personal opinion or a final sentence that could personalize and make your post more pleasant.

Hey @astrophoto.kevin,
All good. Thanks for taking your time to defining some pretty standard guidelines. I will admit, this post was done in a rush.

Will read your suggestions through and link to sources in future articles. The final comment for personalizing my posts would be a nice touch, you are right :D

Thank you very much for your answer and understanding.
This is not meant to be discrimination or too harsh a criticism. I just want to show you the things to be successful and to get some upvote.
You are also welcome to show me your post before you publish it. You should find me actually also in the SteemSTEM Discord server.
