Crypto and the Elephant

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago

How to tame an elephant ? I found out the interesting way elephant trainers tame a wild elephant is quite ingenious. You first capture them and then chain and bolt them to the ground. Make sure it is stronger than the elephant. It will struggle and try to free itself. After some time of struggling, it will eventually relent. From that day forth, it will not resist anymore. Each time it is pegged to the ground, even loosely, it will obediently stay put.

The elephant is one of the strongest in the animal kingdom. Yet it will obediently stay in that spot, even though it can easily yank the peg off the ground just by walking off. The trick is we don't have to chain the body, we just have to chain the mind.

So it is with us sheeple. We have been conditioned by the powers to be how we should think and act. For example, we have been conditioned to think the only way to deal with $ is through the bank. We place our faith and our cash in it, never questioning it. So it is when we get sick, we first go to the doctor. When we have dental problems, we immediately seek the dentists, even before we try natural remedies.

With the advent of cryptocurrencies, hordes of people are finding out it is no longer the case. They have been proven to be a better alternative to the broken corrupt banking system. We can free ourselves from their clutch.

The blockchain will touch every facet of our lives. Besides banking, it can be used for many other areas like real estate, legal contracts, shopping, investment products and even match-making and dating. We can eliminate the middlemen in many industries who have fleeced us for way too long.
