MY RANT

We live in a very volatile economic landscape. Where homeowners are using their homes as the main vehicle of Retirement planning, where the markets are as unstable as a tilt a whirl, over the short-mid term and long term. We have in the last 100 years seen quite a few ebbs and flows, and no doubt a least 4 major crashes in various or all sectors. All signs seem to point to another crash that could manifest itself over the next few months.

I don't believe that the stock market is where people should be sticking their money based upon a current robust stock exchange. I think in this day and age of water being owned by mass corporations and our food sources being bought up by huge interests. Even our farms our being taken then shrunk down to create a higher demand vs supply line. Just as how oil/gas is manipulated, so is our food supply, and to get much worse.

WHAT DO WE DO?

IN my limited opinion of the current madness that is taking place across our great planet. We must get back to our roots. Get back to basics. When food becomes so expensive that it is prohibitive in cost, to be able the eat healthy. We must look at what defines value. A great person once said "its simple to know the cost of something, but wise to learn the value of it". So we must learn to redefine value, stop thinking that having money in the bank equals value. It doesn't.
Just look at Germany after WWII their mark hyper-inflated to the point where one could me pushing a wheelbarrow full of fiat currency to the tore to buy some bread and milk but by the time time they made it there, they needed double that. I am sure before hyper-inflation set in, those Germans felt all warm and cozy with their big bank accounts full of marks.
What we must do as a people is take our fiat $$$$$'s and diversify that into cooperatives where we grow our own food, where we have our own clean source of water, and have communities that are much like bitcoin/steem etc. we need to decentralize. Create our own economies based on real things that matter food, water, shelter, care, medicine, love, and a sense of purpose. Things that all humans need to live.
Using fiat dollars to do this needs to stop. What we are doing here on #steemit (https://steemit.com) and the same with dtube and dsound and many more I am sure to come.
Crypto currency is in my opinion is the wave of the future, next to investing to in the things you need to live. Crypto currency seems to me to be the next best thing because it belongs to the people who use it, and buy it. We need to blow off these middle man corrupted bank cartels and take the power back, if we don't and do it in a hurry. We are not going to like the world that the corporations like google and facebook, and nestle, and Coca-cola have in mind for us.
A bunch of slaves working for your 2 cents worth of gruel, and all means of getting ahead being blocked by the hyper elite.

CONCLUSION

The world is not what it used to be. The advent of computers and the rise of A.I will only work against the average person. Why do you think Google and IBM etc are investing billions into these technologies. To help the greater good? To make you wealthy? To make your life comfortable. Not likely. There is a mass power struggle among the super elite for dominance of it all. Everything. You, me, our thoughts, our likeness, our food and water, your cloths, even the air you breathe..but they are fighting right now. We need to take advantage of this time, while they decide who will be king of the world, spread the message of steemit and it add on applications.. We need to catch them with their pants down and spank that ass. lol.
Show these fools that we are not electric sheep just playing on their Playground

Living where I do, I see the rich pass by Poverty regularly. For the most part they don't care unless there is something in it for them. Don't let them put us in this place:

"Lets be good to each other, especially the ones it hardest to be good to"
