Each Of Us Is Contributing To A Whole New World
Many people think I am over the top with some of my proclamations. That is fine. With all the research that I do into different technologies, I just shake my head and say "if you only knew".
There is a ton of stuff that is coming at us at light speed. While there is the potential to get overwhelmed, it is all going to propel society forward. We are at the point where humanity has the tools to really set itself on a different path.
Even in the crypto world, we see massive explosions about to take place. Everywhere I look, I see changes happening right before my eyes. When they say that crypto is the "Wild West", they are correct. However, it is not in the way they are referring. Instead, this is the Wild West in terms of innovation and creativity. People now are just starting to grasp what is before us. It seems like there is a new collaboration announced each day.
STEEM is a prime example of this. SteemProjects has 8 spots in the new app section. Over the last couple weeks, things cycle through there in under a week. That is how fast the development is taking place on this blockchain. Couple that with the different SMT projects that I know are already underway and you have a recipe for massive explosion.
At the end of all of this is freedom. The fact that the monetary system was completely hijacked away from the elites means that the average person has a chance. We are in the era of "Get Paid To _____________". Tokens allow us to provide incentive to people for all kinds of activity. They are also going to be rewarded for actions they presently take.
Everyone has value and contributes. This is a mechanism to reward those people.
I wrote in a post this morning about how I believe there will be more than a trillion tokens on the STEEM blockchain. While that sounds like a lot, keep in mind that the Kik project has that many alone. When you look at that number, how much does the average token need to be worth for people to be making a good bit of money? Even at 5 cents, that is $50B in tokens.
This is why it is ridiculous for those to game the system or do things that gives them more than they warrant. There are going to be so many tokens on here that we will not be able to keep them all straight. If someone wants an idea for an application, create one that tracks all the SMT projects. The bottom line is abundance is coming upon us.
Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the monetary aspect of things is taken care of. Then what are we going to do?
This is where we need to escalate our focus. Being on STEEM is laying the foundation for so much more. Each of us is literally, by being an early adopter, contributing to the changing of the world. Each time we conduct a transaction in cryptocurrency, that is another feather in the entire ecosystem's cap.
We are also the ones leading humanity out of a life of fear. The scarcity model that was erected for us utilizes fear as a means of control. Since we are dependent upon money to survive, as it becomes more controlled, we live in a constant state of fear. This is unnatural.
The early adopters of cryptoeconomics are starting to realize there is nothing to fear. Money is made up. Hence, how can something that is completely fabricated out of nothing be scarce? The answer is it cannot be. That is why cryptocurrency is so crucial. For the first time, average people have the ability to create and distribute money. This is a radical departure to the last 100 years where the few paid themselves and then issued out debt to the rest of us.
Without the fear, our behavior changes, especially towards others. Why do we, as humans, treat others so poorly? We are truly barbaric when it comes to our behavior. Even if we do not act in a violent manner, we are brutal with our words, exertion of power, and put downs of those who are different from us.
Part of our transformation is to alter our thinking. There is no reason to operate the same way we did before. Think about it: Abundance is upon us. How does that make you feel? Does it make you worried about what someone else is doing or how much they are making? Does that it get the competitive juices flowing and make one want to roll up the sleeves to "win at all costs"? When I read that phrase I do not get that feeling.
It is time we returned to what is natural. There is no reason to allow our fears to dictate our behavior. The fear we are holding onto is not rational. It is impossible to be on this blockchain the last few weeks (if one is paying attention) and not realize the abundance that is starting to emerge. We have a number of projects that are dropping tokens on Steemians. This is only going to multiply in the months ahead.
Here is a chart that reflects what I think is going on. It shows exponential growth in computing speed. We can simply use this idea and replace that with development and cryptocurrency . It is a linear scale showing what exponential growth looks like.
We often see this with charts about Bitcoin and other things. Basically, this leads people to believe it is too late. This also would show how the development took off in the last 9 months.
Realistically, this party is just getting started. We are going to see another huge run in development (and probably prices) over the next few years. This next chart shows what it means to be an early adopter.
When looking at this, I hope the point is clear. We have a lot to look forward to. As early adopters, we are the ones forging a new path. It is up to us lay the proper foundation. This means altering our behavior so that we are not reproducing what humanity did for so long. If we use our position to manipulate and abuse, we are not going to stop the cycle of violence that the elites laid upon the world.
We are all an example of what is possible. It first starts with us believing it and them reflecting that in our actions.
The Age of Abundance is coming....are you ready for it?

If you take a simple look of adaptation by people numbers on a world scale you can easy say we are at the beginning ...
Something like 50 mil people out of 7 bil .... it is less than 1% ... and now even that 1% use crypto in a very limited way, there is a chance for them to tokenize all of there life ... meaning a 100 or more time more usage .... combine with the mass usage the numbers are amazing
The overall potential is HUGE ... but then yet again ... nobody knows the future :)
I just sold my crypto newbie friend $100 worth of Ethereum. He gave me $100 on Venmo and I sent him 0.2 Ether to his MetaMask account.
It blew his mind that it was so easy and that money could be stored on a decentralized Chrome Extension. Even more surprising is that MetaMask is much more secure than a centralized exchange.
The vast majority of the population can't see this industrial revolution forming in the background.
Agreed...they have absolutely no idea what is coming down the road. It is actually happening in public view yet few are paying attention. The bankers want it that way too...it only helps them; so they think. In my opinion, it only delays the inevitable.
I always appreciate your insightful posts and greatly value your opinions.
What would you say are the best stocks to buy and hold at the moment?
Intel, Nvidia, Microsoft, Walmart?
Of those 4, Nvidia is the only one I hold.
I think it is a good one....they are into AI, autonomous cars, gaming, and quantum.
They seem to have all the basis covered if you ask me.
Nice, don't sleep on Intel though. They also do AI, autnomous cars, gaming, quantum computers, data centers etc.
Any other companies, non-tech maybe?
I totally believe we are entering the age of abundance... and, in a sense, not a moment too soon. Let's face it, with robotics and automation, "jobs" as we used to think of them are simply going to vanish... but we're still going to need to "buy" things like housing, Internet and food. It has to come from somewhere...
I think we are getting well on our way!
I agree @reddragonfly.
The nice thing is that it looks like things such as housing and food will come down in price as technology invades those areas. 3D printing is seriously going to affect construction of homes, sending the prices down. At the same time, I see vertical farming and stem cell production as interesting pursuits in the food realm.
Why grow the entire cow when you can just grow the meat?
It’s like you’re reading my mind. I’ve realized this year that cryptocurrencies are going to transform the world as radically as the internet did or maybe even more. In a decade blockchains are going to be an every day common thing, but in the long term the blockchain itself could change governance and democracy unlike anything we have ever seen or even imagined. The blockchain is a bigger deal than even most proponents of it understand.

What you are proposing is correct, since I joined the world of cryptocurrencies I have seen my personal income increase by a percentage close to 50%, and that I am not necessarily someone active in this, if I tried more, the abundance would reach me too.
That is pretty dang exciting @taskmaster4450. If processing speed increases as power needs decrease at the same basic linear rate it will definitely be a whole new world.
Not too far away.
