You need to know and understand something the rest of the world doesn’t know yet.
I want to share with you everything I know about crypto. I am a teacher and I am a student. I am a student of crypto. I am still learning. For three years now I am constantly watching videos about crypto. I scour social media sites like reddit and I read investment newsletters, essays, and opinions about crypto just about every day.
The critical question I ask myself when studying is: what is the quality and what is the credibility of the source of information? It is so easy to lean on personal beliefs and seek out validations of our own perceptions, It’s common to agree with ideas and opinions that align with our own.
Sometimes I get a feeling or an intuition that I follow– sometimes it works out, but does that work when it comes to investing? My general experience is It does not. About four years ago I had a “gut feeling” that Bitcoin was the real deal and so I bought some. Then I discovered Ethereum and thought, “This is going to be big” and I bought some.
My feeling was correct because I investigated and researched and did the homework util I understood exactly what it was about. I applied historical facts and used reasoning and some common sense. It took me about four months to conclude it was a good investment. Still, I didn’t go “all in.”
I Don’t Know Everything and I Never Will
I am honest to say I don’t know everything and so I remain a student. I was so excited by the prospect of financial rewards when I first learned about Bitcoin. Now my enthusiasm is geared more toward the prospect of how I can help more people, working towards a more cooperative world and attaining personal freedoms for everyman.
These ideas fit perfectly with decentralization and create a more level playing field for all of us. Democracy and prosperity and liberty. Rewards in crypto are greater than merely financial. The possibilities are astounding.
I am a contrarian and a Libertarian. I have a strong belief in individual freedoms and real Democracy. I rarely find myself the most agreed with person or siding with the majority. In fact as an example, I have voted in fifty or sixty elections and I have not once in my life voted for a person who was elected to office at the state or federal level. I refuse to side with scoundrels and thieves.
My contrarian leaning extends to investing and leads me to this conclusion: making real wealth from financial assets requires that you have to do what most people will not do and buy things when everyone else is afraid of them.
Right now, I believe we’re in a period when paying attention to blockchain technology WILL yield astronomical rewards. But this opportunity has a time limit. You can’t sit on the sideline and watch or wait.
Bitcoin doesn’t merely give us a better digital currency. It’s much more than that. It gives us a path toward revolutionizing the way the world works.
The cryptocurrency movement and blockchain technology is “uncensorable” unlocking ways for us to protect our privacy, to speak our minds without restriction… and to “digitize” finances and make tradeable literally anything of value in the world. That includes intellectual property and virtual goods that don’t actually exist in the real world.
Democracy on the web works.
Google search works because it relies on the millions of individuals posting links on websites to help determine which other sites offer content of value. They assess the importance of every web page using more than 200 signals and a variety of techniques, including our patented PageRank™ algorithm, which analyzes which sites have been “voted” to be the best sources of information by other pages across the web.
Google is all in for Capitalism, but I question whether they believe in Democracy. You can make money without doing evil is part of Google’s philosophy. I agree but I would say, You can make money and MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE because of money. Yes the need for information crosses all borders and the great need for prosperity to improve lives, to reach desperate people all the way to the corners of the world.
“Every day that goes by that Bitcoin survives, the trust in it will go up.”
— Paul Tudor Jones, legendary billionaire investor
NOTE: I am compelled to include in my statement of belief about the current trends and circumstances of our times, my faith based on transformational experiences I had as a young adult and miracles I witness to this day . I accept the teachings of the bible and believe in the saving grace of the risen Christ Jesus, yehōshu’a in Hebrew and Y’eshua in Greek. I am not asking for you to believe, and I might lose some readers because of my beliefs. I know this: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12). There is salvation in no one else!
PLEASE realize that Satan is the most subtle beast. It might happen this year, it might be 20 years or more from now, just know this: If you accept a chip implanted in your body in order to transact business, even to buy and sell groceries, it might be too late for you to attain the riches that you deserve. If you resist, if you refuse the mark and turn instead to God, you preserve your soul and will have hope.
And as a final footnote, I confess that my faith in blockchain technology and the related cryptocurrency market remains firm. This is the inevitable future of money.
Just like the Internet in 1994, shrouded in mystery and misunderstood, it’s difficult to fully put the crypto revolution into words. It touches on all parts of our daily life that mostpeople likely don’t even realize. I welcome discussion on these topics. Please comment.
