Considering the nature of cryptocurrencies and the looming potential worldwide economical crash, what are the pros and cons society need to consider to protect ourselves and the livelihood of future generations? Given the fact most people own smartphones, and many of which conduct online monetary transactions, it is not so hard to envision the absent of paper money in today’s society. With Cellphone towers being erected in many unincorporated areas of the world, this gives people access to the internet and become potential new consumers. A single, unified virtual currency seems to be the missing link preventing this from happening. The question then becomes, “How will this social change come about and accepted?”
Will cryptocurrencies be the sole source to usher in the Social Order? Of course not. Cryptocurrency is the newest form of money used for exchange of goods and services. In my opinion, money is a tool and how this tool it is utilized, is totally in the hands of the beholder. It can be the driving force for good or evil based on the moral values of the individual. Due to people’s cravings for wealth, luxury and social status, money can be used as a method of control or to driving social change. In addition, we are also led to believe most crimes are based upon greed, passion or the struggle for power but on the flip side, the end justify the means.
When it comes to conspiracies, I find most people tend to shy away from these types of conversations, because they may fear being labeled a “conspiracy theorist” or “conspiracy nut.” In reality, when two or more people “conspire” together in secret for financial profit, passion or controlling interest of a company, this is a conspiracy. People conspire for a host of other reasons and is why we have law enforcement and a justice system. In my opinion, there is clearly something behind the scenes working to bring more people into the cryptocurrency market like a carrot on a stick. This is to say, it is a social engineering project orchestrated by well-organized entities to move the general public into a cashless society. In general, people are resistant to change and do not adapt to new situations very well unless they are forced by circumstances or by some element of a reward.
There's an expression I think is very true: “Follow the money trail and you will find motive at the end.” We are told the origin of Bitcoin is to free the common person from the grips of the financial institutions, but how do we know this for sure? Clearly, we have been lied to before to implement social change like the attacks on Pearl Harbor was a complete surprise. So why would we be lured this time with the rewards of instant success and financial freedom?
With cryptocurrencies, there is a lot of gains made by work done in darkness or privilege to insider's information. To this very day, we really don't clearly understand the origin or know who actually created Bitcoin, but that is much beyond the scope of this writing at this time. There are market variations between coin values, but unless a coin is dead (no longer traded), all cryptocurrencies will net about the same valued in traditional Fiat currencies based upon mining hash-rates. In other words, you have more hashing power, you make more but there is virtually no different between cryptocurrencies unless they are dead. When a coin dies, it is because the implementation of the blockchain was faulty or the development team abandoning the project for what ever reasons. However, most miners will never see this thanks to the “carrot on a stick syndrome.” In my opinion, this is deep and a major first-class conspiracy.
Cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile and there are many scams out there too. It is another faith-based system and once confidence in the coin’s future is gone, so is its value. Many Cryptocurrency experts claim there is no single entity controls the system, but the question everyone must ask is, “Who controls the protocols?” Believe this – we are heading towards a cashless society like a ship without a rudder. Knowing all of this should not be perceived as discouragement, though. We must understand how the system works in order to survive inside or evade the system.

Maybe they have always planned the current system to crash and knew the only way out was through a transition as we are currently seeing. Year after year, the market seems to be set up to allow everybody to get in at a good price. Maybe Satoshi is slowly releasing his coins, or whomever holds the majority.
