From the outset let me begin by prefacing this blog by unequivocally stating when it comes to the share market, trading in cryptocurrencies and having an investment portfolio I am a complete and utter numpty... That being said I am inquisitive by nature and of which I have a thirst for a constant search for knowledge across many, many facets and of which I am seeing what appears to potentially be an alignment of many items coming into play that could well have profound long term implications for those of us residing on this magnificent blue marble or flat plane.. ( dependent on your own perspective and train of thought ... )
I am a simple man that has always worked hard for what I have obtained and have not done so by gambling or speculating on future markets, shares etc.. and as such when it comes to these items have my own idea's on them whether they be right or wrong. I like to dumb things down into simplistic terms and will also often equate things back to nature in looking for parallels or comparisons by which to draw conclusions as I am a strong believer that Mother Nature doesn't make mistakes, and will often apply the law of Occam's razor in my research in not overly complicating something in my pursuit for a tangible answer.
That being said, one of the things I have learned in my 40 something years here on planet Earth is that quite often however, things aren't just black or white and indeed are multiple shades of grey and any hue or colour in between.
One of my fascinations is human history as I believe that history does indeed repeat itself as has been proven time and again and in that can often see where people make the same mistake over and again having not learned the first or even second time around. I am also fascinated in Sociology of which has largely come about since having two beautiful children and pondering what our future world is going to look like for them.
Now anyone that has the eyes to see will or should be well aware that the current socioeconomic construct of a capitalist society is indeed a gigantic pyramid scheme in which a few at the very top steer the majority in the middle to the lower of the pyramid structure. This is and always has been actioned in a compartmentalised fashion so that no one person other than those at the very top understands the full game of play and therefore eliminates the risk of the entire plan being divulged. This is very much a military and political tactic and has been used successfully throughout the ages as can be seen as happening time and again.
Upon looking at the supposed NWO agenda of a one world government, a global currency and eventually ultimate control there are multiple aspects that need to happen in joining all the dots to bring this into the right point in time for this to eventuate, however for the purpose of this blog ( which is purely a mental dump on my behalf ) I am going to focus on the financial aspect of a truly global currency.
In my own humble opinion our entire current financial system is a farcical scheme built upon the perception of wealth and of which we are all pretty much bound to have to participate within it should we wish to have any semblance of "normality" in fitting in with our respective "societies" and "communities". It is all very well for people to say we have a choice as to whether we participate in the typical Western Dream ( work hard, save lots, get a mortgage, go into debt to provide for a family, watch the kids grow up, hopefully retire with enough funds to enjoy your latter years etc.. ) however short of playing this game the options are quite limited, especially when living in proximity to a large city center in an effort to ensure that you provide good levels of education at the good schools for your children, live in relative proximity to your place of employment so as to not waste unfathomable time that could be better spent with your families etc..
Short of buying into the game the options are much more isolating and while at a fundamental or more "hippy" level may provide great personal attributes such as being able to self provide, while you reside in a cave off grid away from the world while providing your own means of water, heat, food and shelter certainly does not provide the means for strong social ties or high levels of participation in our modern ways of life.
When participating in what society regards as the lower to middle class where 90% of us reside it is money or the availability to it that determines what sort of lifestyle we have, however with the media selling the entire "keeping up with the Jones'" lifestyle pushing the consumerist agenda for the Multi-National consortium's and with a lot of the masses buying into this it is hard for the herd to understand what is behind the glossy brochure of modern life however the agenda is primarily debt or what I refer to as the modern day "Debt Slavery System".
Debt = Control.
Outside of our current Fiat Money system a new paradigm is rapidly making some serious headway being Cryptocurrencies. Upon watching the rise and rise of these gaining traction I can't help but ponder if this like many other historical financial instruments is a new parlour trick by those at the top being trialed, or if it is something that has come about by necessity by "we the people" through a loss of faith or respect for the old systems, but that will undoubtedly be hijacked by "the powers that be" if the groundswell for it continues to gain traction at such ongoing meteoric rates as we have seen already.
From what I have read our historical western banking systems based on fiat money have been mathematically proven to not be able to perpetuate in their current guises forever, basically in a nutshell trying to build an infinite system of financial growth on a planet of finite resources is the big kicker as to why this is so. Subsequently many other creative measures have been employed to create the perception of financial value and subsequently allow the current fiat system to perpetuate.
Things such as quantitative easing ( printing of money ) by the central banks in each country to put more money into circulation ( for those that didn't know - central banks are private business and not government owned ) however the perpetuation of this dilutes that value of the native dollar, derivative markets ( basically gambling by speculating on which markets will rise or fall and by how much ), creating scarcity ( either real or illusional ) to create the perception of value ie.. the amount of gold, minerals or available money either raise the value of something when there's not enough of it to go around or deflate its value if abundant, etc... are all tactics employed by the financial sector to ensure growth in an otherwise finite market. Our entire fiat money system only works while there is a perception held by the majority that it is backed by items of value and in that the trust that goes with that perception, however the reality is that it is illusory and only holds suit while there is a perception of value within this system.
But what about the digital market place? There is no end to the amount of money that can be created by simply utilising 1's and 0's ( no different as to how the banks create their wealth now as long as the perception of value holds true ). Its purely a matter of ensuring that the public's perspective of this is backed by some form of perceived tangibility of wealth. With the creation of the likes of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Steem etc.. and the system this is all built upon such as the Blockchain providing an element of value to it, one can't help but ponder if this will all become the new financial instrument of the new age that will be adopted. It could potentially provide a step away from fiat currencies which has long been on the agenda of the supposed NWO. Its certainly not hard to envisage if this was the way forward that people would likely be less averse to having a microchip implant so as to readily and easily access their finances, again this has long been prophesised as part of the agenda of the NWO and of which is why I find it interesting when seeing how many big banks are already looking at it and how much money is being poured in by the likes of Microsoft. The people that own or hold large swathes of control over these institutions are one and the same of those at the top of the aforementioned pyramid.
I for one like what the Blockchain promises to offer and provide by way of decentralized privacy, security and also a level of inherent value due to the transparent nature of trace-ability by the likes of smart contracts, however the skeptic in me also ponders as to what the negatives of this system may well be. For instance, its all just code and if someone is smart enough to write it, someone out there is also potentially smart enough to hack it.
Will Bitcoin become the new Digital Gold-Standard in time by which all other crypto's are benchmarked? One thing I know is for certain and this is while the new crypto market is currently basically unregulated, if it proves to gain continual traction and acceptance by we the people to a point whereby it cannot be stopped and becomes something with which we will do business because we believe it has intrinsic value, it will undoubtedly become adopted and regulated by those at the top as they will not want to miss out on their share of the pie as for them its really not about the fundamental of having the most money, its much more simple than that.
While we are financial slaves to the financial system in whatever guise it resides, and while we perpetuate these systems by participating in them they hold the control.
It is time for a new era when the dollar is not the new God but the basic items of wealth such as family, health and community are what are recognized as items of value and less emphasis is put on intangible items such as money in whatever guise it resides.
Anyway... Rant over !! I would welcome any comments and discussions on any of the above..
