A perfect training ground for future Employees

in #teammalaysia6 years ago (edited)

We managed to grab this opportunity to visit KidZania again, for the 4th time I believe. Thanks to Anne and Robin offering me, @annabellenoelle and @andrewnoel a free entrance.

You see, I'm glad I joined Steemit and started to learn a thing or two about crypto. In this region, things happened exactly like in crypto world.

Kids are required to take up a job, use their time and effort in exchange of few crypto, they named it Kidzo

With Kidzo, kids can choose to spend on what they want. But first, they gotta invest their time in committing a job in order to get paid. Nope, this is not child labor, this is a learning ground and there's no goods and sales tax here despite they have a tax department which you can choose to "work" as a tax officer. No real money involved unless your kids spent all the Kidzo and no longer able to survive, parents will have to fork out Fiat money to buy more Kidzo for their kids.

Playing game is fun, but it requires fund. Kid would go crazy by spending their cash just to experience VR navigating Optimus Prime.

At the convenient shop, you can choose to be a cashier or worker. You wanna see how bad the situation is? There's always more worker than customer! See this to believe it. You will not believe how kids are imprinted with worker mentality when their parents "helped" them to decide what they should do. No you can't be the customer, it will take your money away. Instead they force their kids to stand at the counter to operate the pos system.

See the contrast? The queue for applying job at the convenient shop, the queue is so long. And the customer experience, only a handful.

For 15 minutes, there isn't customer at all. Seriously, this is under productive. Kids are trained to stand there and get paid. There isn't entrepreneurship at all. Everyone is trading their time for small wage.

More parents "guiding" their kids to sit down and patiently wait for next recruit, great opportunity to work with the pharmaceutical firm.

@andrewnoel choose a different path, spend 6Kidzo, bought 16$ worth of goods

What I learn today, is what I learnt over the past few months with steemit. We already know how to survive in the crypto world. There is no "money" anywhere, there's only value. I am going to teach @annabellenoelle and @andrew blog and get paid, us Steem to trade Kidzo with me! In future, these kids will be working for their own instead of other people.

Next time, @andrewnoel and @annabellenoelle will be coming in with heavily loaded account traded with SBD! No they're not going to spend time as a worker anymore. They're going to spend and enjoy with the value they earned from SBD here!

This time, a car salesman. Selling a car to get 4Kidzo. Next time, @andrewnoel will bring 4000kidzo to buy the car if 0.1%commission per sales(that's like how much? 400$🤣)

Thanks Steemit for equipping us with crypto knowledge.

Wow. I've never heard about this project. KidZania is definetly place where I would take kids if I have any :)

i love the fact that kids and teenagers are learning about finances those days. I grew up hearing that "money are necessary evil".

ps. have you ever heard about game "cashflow" by Robert Kiyosaki? you may find this game interesting.

Cheers
Piotr

Hi Piotr, the place is kind of cool. But parent must know how to respect kids decision and teach them the consequences.

I know about the cash flow game, I don't have the physical board game, but I do have the game software.

Hi @davidke20

Im very sorry for such a delay with my replies but currently Ive been overwhelmed with amount of work that has been related to my latest contest. I never expected to receive such an amazing support.

I do have the game software.

Did you play it already? I wonder what's your impression about cashflow.

Yours
Piotr

Yes I have. Let's not talk about that board game. Anything you wanna highlight on that game?

No real money involved unless your kids spent all the Kidzo and no longer able to survive, parents will have to fork out Fiat money to buy more Kidzo for their kids.

LOL!!! Hahahahahaha, And there kids can learn of the concept of bail-outs.

I love how you say "There is no "money" anywhere, there's only value." Because funnily enough, all it takes for those Kidzos to step from a construct to money would be when kids starts doing random stuff for each other in exchange for Kidzos, a "black market" if you will. While Kidzos dont have SOV or can't be a UOA, it does make a perfect Medium of Exchange among the kids, that is as long they though those paper worth anything.

Which.... comes to think of it, isnt what exactly any other paper money is? Everyone thinks it's valuable because everyone thinks it has value, And everyone thinks it's valuable because organizations with guns we call governments say they have values..

I hope those kids love economics. hahahaha

Hey Ian. Thanks for stopping by. My point is, Kidzo only short of white paper, in replaced it was ran by SOP. And you're right! The concept is important. The biggest problem is, every other parents are teaching their kids "go to work" and stop spending. Keep those "money" in the bank. For a person who know crypto, we all know these are only numbers. Has absolutely no value to it if it's not being demanded by another party. Kids should learn how to "spend" these Kidzo, not keep. And to stir up a black market will be easy, bring a table sit there and offer a medium service. Gather everyone over and start offering them RM instead of Kidzo, I will instantly become Soros and short selling all the Kidzo to devalue it. But then the only problem is, these Kidzo will worth absolutely nothing after stepped out of the compound. So I'm not going to do it. Let's link the Kidzo with SBD. If I offer an "exchange" between Kidzo and SBD, all they gotta do is start delegate to vote seller, earn "payout", and upon next visit all they gotta do is send those SBD to me, I'll give them Kidzo cash. They don't need to "work" in Kidzania anymore and will still have "cash" to spend there. Isn't it amazing. Muahahahahahaha

HAHAHAHAHHA! we're so deep in the rabbit hole now.

On the contrary, we see more clearly on how "currency" flow.

@davidke20 make sense... Imagine there are way bigger lessons to be thought in Kidzania that perhaps some parents dont even have the knowledge to teach!

Got. Work hard, save money. Buy a house, make sure don't lose job. Service the interest for the rest of life. Don't die until can collect retirement fund. But make sure die before finish retirement fund.
