Hey there @lishu and @crypto.piotr coincidentally I just read an article on values and value recently on a website. I have also written on value before because I come from a background of relatively little financial facility here in Africa and also because I am a consciousness explorer who sees value in the transcendent.

I have never needed money to feel wealthy. wealth or value is a state of consciousness, which is different from being rich in financial terms. One can have a valuable life if it is filled with heightened consciousness and self-realization, that is the true goal of life and the actual value of this human form of life. Unfortunately we have been deliberately educated away from this focus by central bankers and the politicians that they control via fiat currency. The system is brainwashing us to have the wrong values altogether. Gone are even common decent human values, like respect for all life, respect for humanity, the earth - a valuable planet which we seem to be exploiting excessively due to the corrupt capitalist system. What we have today is not real capitalism. It is a terminal system where profit and expansion is seen as a symptom of value, but the hidden expenses are not factored in, like the damage to the ecosystem, damage to humanity via disease from toxic products, etc in the name of profit. So values are distorted today.

As you say, even in crypto, we are in it to make money from trading and price bull runs. I only learned about the technology and its value after I took more time to investigate, but first it was a get rich quick enticement. So I also fall victim to the allure of perceived value in fiat terms, while the underlying value of the blockchain tech and the project run on the blockchain came later. Now I see that some projects that launch ICOs have a value because they solve a real world problem.

But the real value is in self-realization, which is free. All the books are there - the Vedas of India for example. All the techniques are free to try, All it takes is an investment of the most valuable commodity we have - time. This human form of life is more valuable than we have been led to believe today by our shallow leaders. It is priceless.
