Awareness.

in #crypto9 years ago (edited)

Hello world, times are changing.

My story starts with me coming to the land down under at the age of 18 to start my university degree in Accounting which according to what i had been told would lead me to being the master of the universe, of course through hard work and dedication that is..

Im 22 now and think to myself and laugh under my breath when my mind understands the words HODL and PnD and all the latest crypto fad, because where people were buying into the biggest trend of the past 2 years ;Crypto currencies(if it wasn't obvious) I on the other hand had parental supervision while using a laptop. I think my parents thought that I would be exposed to all hot asian and russian wife adverts or some shit.

The point here being that awareness of ones space and surroundings is the biggest and foremost advantage any person can have in my eyes. Im not here bitching about not buying into bitcoin when it was 8 cents or something, oh not at all.

What this post means to say and convey is that a limited community has to realize that the world is made up of 7 billion people out of which not even 1% are invested into the new technology which is set to shape the next decades.

The idea being preached by crpyto hardliners is that of a decentralized system where everything happens p2p , eliminating the need for a central regulatory body. My young mind asks me then, okay so how exactly is all of this a decentralised system when only a very limited number of people know of it. There are no adverts being run anywhere other than the internet, i mean if people truly want this to be adopted on a grand scale, shout it out on the radio or the telly so that ol grandma molly in nebraska wants to order her knitting supplies through bitcoin and not a wire transfer.

In my mind, technology will create equal opportunities for people every where, so that you dont have to learn about crypto when you're 22 and realize that you have a lot of catching up to do haha.
