getting started with crypto

in #thinktank6 years ago

I find myself always writing during bad days of crypto. ETH at bottom - the rest nearly dead. almost all ICO's of the cryptospring 2017 are worthless and lots of hard earned money went down the drain.

Why would a sane person get themselves involved into crypto at such a bad time. When the FUD hits the fan most people try to make sense of something that lies within their understanding. Well crypto is not something to understand it's a way of life. Trusting in the tech and the possibilities.

Let's imagine what makes crypto attractive in a world that is run by greed and despair.

As Kurt Cobain once said: The job of the youth is to challenge corruption.

Now It's not the job of youth anymore but the ones that don't want to endure the struggle of the rat race that the previous generations set up so nicely and challenge the system until it fits the mindset of the young ones.

Imagine the possibilities of change. Governance finance and data distribution make up the game of live. And at the core of it lies a vision that want's to disrupt an understanding we apparently all live by. Work and pay your bills. Consume until you die. Terrific for those that inherited millions and a struggle for the rest.

The shift in consciousness that goes around the world and plucks the most sensitiv and pissed off people that know we could do better. Be Best as a certain lady one put it.
The possibilities that come with the power to code and make yourself a fortune of money nobody that plays the straight game wants to accept.

Two worlds with two mindsets - one to rule and the other one to be free and enjoy the time we have on this rock that floats somewhere in the universe. Trippy thoughts that make no difference.

The centralisation that we celebrate with each purchase needs to make way for a new part of the human journey. A part where people struggle to make their inner artist heard and felt. A part where you are not being judged by the amount of wealth and pussy but the time spent in quality work and love.

Not gonna happen in the near future but it has to start sometime right? As if our time on earth wasn't interesting enough with the Tech disruption of our everyday life trough phones and constant music, ubiquitous advertising and constant noise. Random blog post about nothing in particular but everything that evolves and dies.

The constant change that makes this time to be alive so god damn exiting and still the emptiness inside and the numb feelings we got used to because society dictates and we adapt. No wonder that so many people are depressiv and want to end their life when all they experience is despair and struggle that is only overshadowed by the noise of the celebrities that need the attention and the hype around progress that doesn't seems to make one happy but addicted to short term excitement and ecstasy.

why bother if progress doesn't reach into the depths of the human brain that makes one feel.
because it might reach somebody else.

my reason for constant progress is not to help the rich ( and yes we are rich in the developed nation) but those that have difficulties to survive even though we have such awesome stuff already that might lift them out of their dire situation.

so let's keep doing and inventing - working everyday in order to provide a better future for those that can't build it themselves.
