RE: If we don't use it then

in #steem6 years ago

Great post. Useful information. Great advice. I am not quite familiar with the technicalities surrounding steem and sometimes i find it very difficult to understand the dynamics of how money is made here, but i am surely putting whatever sbd i am making here to a use. It is hard for some of us not to spend what we make here. This is helping a lot of people who would be otherwise starving, deeply frustrated, demotivated and contributing nothing to their immediate loved ones, let alone to a global community.

The fact that this platform in particular allows so many talented people to chip in their talents and surround you with so many interesting things to see is a plus factor. Thus, if posting can contribute to strengthen this currency, i am working hard to add my 2 cents.

It is hard, though to catch on with so much out there. Interaction with the community, which can make a big difference in how well positioned your blog may be, can be overwhelmingly complicated.

hey there @hzlezama thank you for engaging with me and for being honest about your position on this matter. The truth is that the system is complicated, I wont lie. But, it does not mean it will always be, or at least that you need to be an expert to fully use it.

For example, most people (not implying you don't) don't understand how FIAT currencies work, they have this somewhat vague idea that the government prints the money they use, but they don't understand nor care to, how the money is tied to assets or how it gets valued in a global system.

This however, does not prevent them from having a job and paying the bills in the slightest. I suspect something very similar will eventually be the landscape of cryptocurrencies, with the vast majority of crypto users being contempt with understanding how to use it, but not how it works.

I would however recommend anyone who is onboarding the field at the moment, meaning someone who would be considered an early adopter to take the longer road and learn the ins and outs. Why? because the early adopter is also the would be teachers for the next generations to come.

Is it easy? Maybe not, but it does not matter, because its not a race. However, it starts by these types of conversations, it starts with some questions.

Cheers

Good point. Very true. As a matter of fact, in the case of my country, Venezuela, every time economists talk about the causes of inflation they throw at us all their jargon and we hear about "inorganic money" and the central bank printing it unscrupulously, etc etc. and we don't quite get it, but we know that you can buy less things every time, even with more money in our pockets, so we know we can't keep money in the bank and so on and so forth.

You certainly provide good arguments for us to seriously consider studying this new thing in depth.

Thanks
