Cryptocurrency

This exciting time we are all hyped up into.. i know i am!!
I've just read a really great article and it has spurred me on to write this and i do apologize my writing and grammar is terrible. I'll gladly take some help!

The article was by @lukestokes and he speaks about Gridcoin this is his article link here https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@lukestokes/gridcoin-helping-find-cures-for-zikaaidscancer-and-analyzing-lhc-data-for-crypto-sign-me-up

This alone has coincided with how I feel about the technology and how it's being used. I feel so excited about the future of our world, the ability to be free without the weight of the Government or Governments/Countries bearing down on us.

The ability to help correct what has become such a leaching world and i'm not talking just about Cash rates and interest rates, I'm also talking about the countless thefts of our identity, our sensitive information that we "must" provide to participate in society because of the social structures put into place to keep the people down!

Block Tech also helps through small companies, trying to do good for the people. Ideas for recycling bottles through the start-up www.BCDC.online a fantastic initiative and obviously Gridcoin as mentioned before, and there's countless others that are trying to impact our world and save our ecosystem and build a new, better, tech friendly future.

HUMAN GREED

On the other hand though.. we have this really rich economy of $103 Trillion (at the time of this post) according to https://coinmarketcap.com/ and a shitload of ICO's (Initial Coin Offerings) I definitely want a slice of that, i'm not denying it, but when i'm scrolling through social media platforms looking at new projects or getting some "valid" opinions on topics because they are "experts" to hear there "weight" on the matter. You instantly become a sifter of "shit", some pages are a circus of comments and trolls or just people (i'm new to this, but i'm not dumb) who don't see the blockchain for the actual potential greatness and freeing that its going to open up for society.

So many "speculators" ~ I don't even like the word ~ just people who didn't do their research and bought so much of something that did nothing, or buy a lot of something and just pump and dump and wonder why the market sheds $13 billion, or people who speculate from the "news" like what was flying around today in the CryptoSpace.. We all know the "news" is bullshit yeah?..

Amidst all this, you can see why some small start-ups who had good intentions or great intentions do not make it past as minnow and swallowed up by the whales and feeding frenzy of making a "quick" million here on this coin or "Joe" jump on this Eth based token it's going to go spastic. Of course also, for the simple fact there is no belief or foreseeing to the future for what that business could or would provide for us, given it had some time to grow..

Before you doubt something and paint it black, read about it, research it our future depends on us as a community
