Why So Serious? (A matter of perspective)
“Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos, I’m an agent of chaos, and you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair.” - The Joker (Heath Ledger ... pun intended)
Consider this quote from the iconic Joker character in the context of today's polarised society where something unexpected is happening: the rapid adoption of cryptocurrencies and accelerating use of the Bitcoin's underlining technology - blockchain, is opening a window of opportunity towards a reversal of fortune.
This technological breakthrough is bringing something priceless to the masses and that is to a certain extent the fairness of chaos. As with every disruption, every revolution, every challenge of the status quo we see an opportunity for ordinary people and geeks/techies alike to rise to the challenge and become pioneers, experts or millionaires.
As moments like this don't come along too often in a lifetime we owe it to ourselves to push hard and conquer every obstacle of the crypto world - whether it's understanding how mining works or building the next great token and help bring the technology closer to the people.
It's important not to underestimate your role, because with every google search for information on Bitcoin, blockchain or Ripple the community is growing and powering the phenomena that will someday make history and change lives.
You know how people love to tell stories like that one about the guy who sold Apple stock in 1977 for a few hundred dollars? Well picture yourself in 1976 as you are partnering up with your friend (let's call him.. Steve) and you might not know it yet but your shares (or.. coins) may be worth millions in the years to follow.
We are lucky enough to be part of such stories so whether you forgot your password to a Stellar wallet with 50k bought with a couple of dollars, or you just lost hard earned money on margin trading because of Polo lag (n.b. maybe try a casino ) just think of how many people live their lives without ever having a shot at such opportunities.
If you're somehow anxious about a untimely sell of a coin that just boomed or your ICO's whitepaper isn't coming along fast enough or your project is still in alpha and your competition is growing... consider taking a step back and looking around - we are in the front line of a new era and in all this chaos, on a level playing field, we stand to rise.
So SMILE, and stop being so serious!
