Gamification: Introduction

Hi Guys,J here, as you might see this is my very first post on the steemit community and well i have to admit i am quite excited. So this being my first post is going to be more of an introductory one about my general philosophy in life.

So i guess we will jump right into it

What is Gamification:

Essentially we live in a universe with a set of rules. Whether those rule are determined by the physical and biological nature of the world or the more man-made aspects of the word such as economics,fitness etc. It all based on set rules and within this idea that life is based on rules there exists the concepts of levels. Very much like a game.
Once you figure out the basic rules and know how to level up(or down) you now are on the next step of going for what you want. Essentially, gamification, in short is about "hacking life" to get what you want out of it. So rather than being a passive participant you must change your mindset all together and be an active one. You must gamify your life and share a bit of my opinion of the new world of crytocurrencies and the improvements it will spawm.

But, Lifes nothing like a game:

Uhh yeah it sorta is, think about it, a game has an end level but for the purpose of this article lets call the end level ,a goal. Lets saying your name is Tom, Tom is a scrawny guy who wants to bulk up and get muscles. So for arguments sake, Tom is basically at level 0. So because tom is at level 0, he doesnt know anything about fitness, he doesnt know what to eat, how to train etc. Tom needs to know the rules of the game first. Once he learns he can apply that to his fitness system and move up the levels. This mindset can be applied to any number of things and it doesnt have to be about money or fitness but it should be about achieving your goals and living a life YOU want to live. But we need to Level UP in whatever we choose to do.

Level up in our relationships, Level up in our Friendships, Level up our Knowledge and yes Level up our Money

So speaking of leveling up our money, because this is a cyptocurrency platform, i wanted to touch on this subject very quickly as i will discuss it in more detail in later posts and articles. Right now we are witnessing the leveling up of our entire monetary system before our eyes. The question is are going to level up and gain as much knowledge about this amazing new technology and use it to transform our lives (as it will) or will get left behind and stuck with worthless paper dollars as the fiat monetary system continues to erode in value.
