Fly Me to the Moon, Let me Play Among Those Stars

In his book The Third Wave, Steve Case maintains that the Third Wave is upon us, a wave that will bring upon the early mainstream adoption of the Blockchain and cryptocurrencies (the first wave having started with the creation Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency of its kind).

In fact there is a lot of evidence to support that. For instance, most financial websites now talk about cryptocurrencies in a regular manner.

With the dogmatism surrounding the blockchain rapidly dissipating, it was only a matter of time until words like cryptocurrency became a constant presence in financial websites everywhere, from Forbes to Bloomberg, from Business Insider to The Economist... And everything in between.

Something impressive at this stage given the fact that merely a few years ago, there was no shortage of discredit surrounding the subject as far as the mainstream media was concerned.

Hell, even “fringe” investment analysts who just a couple of years ago used to voice their concerns over the longevity of cryptocurrencies, all seem to have a section dedicated to the subject in their newsletters lately.

Now, I understand their past skepticism, these people have to be careful with the financial advice that they provide. Some amount of time had to pass in order to get some proof that the concept actually works.

Especially, when you have an audience that is mostly composed by baby boomers who in big part seek to protect their wealth and to diversify into what is generally perceived as tried and proven: Gold, silver, real estate and the rest of commodities.

Gold, is Not the Only Exit Strategy

For same strange reason, there’s this crazy new trend going on. A trend where governments all around the world are becoming increasingly destructive, both in terms of seizing capital and in terms of making capital accumulation more and more difficult.

Now when you squeeze all these people, where do you think they’ll go to protect their capital?

It’s gets more interesting:

You see, the more financial newsletters start having a section dedicated to blockchain technologies and cryptos, the more investor money starts moving from the usual commodities and onto cryptocurrencies.

Add to that the good ol’ word of mouth combined with the rapid growth we are witnessing right now, and it’ll be only a matter of time until everyone realizes that they don’t want to be the last one to the party.

And From There it Could Be Only a Matter of Time Until the New Gold Rush Era begins.

The question is, if there is something we can do to get steem in all sorts of investment newsletters, we should probably do it.

The more investing eyes lie on the word steem, the better.

After all, we all want the same thing.
