RE: Why do we shame people who want to live freely? Let's not act like crabs in a bucket!
I dont even think they have to do anything with taxes. Money produces money.
It is not an easy topic imo. As we are all in crypto here I just assume most of us dont trust the fiat money etc. but even if you look at the steemit community look how the wealth is distributed.
And some people earn to have more then others. They put out quality content, they form communites they are go getters, when others sit on their butt asking for follow4follow at most.
We were born into this unfair system but we still have chances. If you see it on a wolrdwide view, we are winning at life just by beeing lucky enough to be born in europe fe. But many many people carry our weight on their backs.
And this is what is wrong.
Wealth isnt good or bad as is money. Your decision how you use it what makes it good or bad.
If we are both broke we cant help anyone. If you are rich and I am broke you can help me and many others.
sry as ususal I get sidetracked pretty easy
intersting read though
Having studied this topic for over a decade and actually made software for international investment banks, I see things a bit differently to most. it is a big topic, yes - I wrote this specifically on the topic of why cryptocurrency can't solve our problems: https://steemit.com/steemit/@ura-soul/why-digital-crypto-currencies-e-g-bitcoin-keeps-us-in-the-same-self-created-traps-as-private-paper-currencies
you make some good points in your article.
but wouldnt it be a step in the right direction the average joe can mine his own money now and especially cut out the middle man (banks). you know step by step. We are still so early in crypto and there will be more to come.
Coins like HumaniQ fe.
I dont say crypto will change everything but I see it as a step in a more fair direction.
I have read about a fair trade phone and they stated they cant get a certain metal ( I think it was cobalt) fair traded.
I lack a lot of knowlege there and have no real facts about this most is just my opinion. With your experience I am sure you know a lot more
While we are stuck collectively with the use of banks etc. - yes, in some senses cryptocurrency can seem to be an improvement - and in small scale scenarios it is.. However, as I wrote in my article - there is zero stopping the entire system from being over-run by those who already produce unlimited money for nothing without even mining anything.. e.g. the central banksters. As long as they still exist and maintain their 'wealth' to any extent at all, then all cryptocurrencies must be handled with extreme caution and considered to be of as little value as fiat currency.
If, hypothetically, the central banks and fiat currencies disappeared overnight and all we had left was cryptocurrency, we would still be left with a vast pile of problems that are literally caused by the use of money - whatever it's form. This is very much like the many cases of heroin or alcohol addiction on earth - except the addiction is to money. It can seem that stopping using money would be more of a problem than continuing using it, but in truth that is an error and the ones involved are judging in advance of experience that can show them differently. The main difference and benefits of being free are that we feel better immediately and our feelings effect everything we do - so the actual benefits to life are huge.
