 | There was a time when I knew very little about crypto and I was hungry for knowledge. Naturally, Youtube ... |

| Without any futher ado, let me please introduce you to David Hay |  |

(Img source: slbtruscott.files.wordpress.com)
WHO IS DAVID HAY?
WHY DID HE INSPIRE ME?
David however, went one step further. He has been actually risking his life to organize training about cryptocurrencies in Venezuela. His goal was to educate people about bitcoin, blockchain technology and the benefits that come out of it.
Check out video below and show some support:
https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@davidhay/mtkiadq8
Has anyone here been aware of his project and following his recent actions? Im very curious about your opinion. It seem that David (and many others) believe that introducing cryptocurrencies to poor and undeveloped regions of the world can be a solution to many financial problems. Somehow Im very skeptical and personally I think that this technology will divide society even more than money (or lack of money) did. More than current immigration issues does.
We are already witnessing millions of people who aren't able to participate in the current economy and enjoy benefits of existing markets and technological achievements. The only hope I see for those people of not having access to education is learning from influencers like David. The truth is that it's simply not enough.
I would like to hear your view on this topic as well. We have been witnessing a "europe two speed economy". It divided europe heavily. Will crypto and blockchain divide humanity?
David Hay about KYC and Privacy Coins:
There has been so much talks happening lately about KYC, Privacy Coins and their future and I cannot express how much nonsense I've found out there on youtube and other social media. And since I believe this may be important topic for many of us, please let me recommend watching this recent youtube video:
David Hay accompanied by Crypto Bobby (another extremely valuable influencer) and Crypto Love share their thoughts on that particular issue.
End word
I cannot express my gratitude to people like David Hay. He is doing an amazing job to support this community and the best we can do to pay back is by sharing his content.
I honesly wish there would be more people like him. Such an amazing and inspiring example to follow.
Cheers, Piotr

I am from Venezuela, and you are right about the fact that cryptomoney helps the poorest, in fact steemit is currently my main source of income because due to the crisis in my country the salary is not enough for much. I do not believe that it will divide the world, but rather I believe that soon there will be a single currency for everyone and that will be digital, the blockchain offers a lot of security and freedom, currently the process that the kryptomonedas live is in search of taking away a little of that freedom because it lends itself to financing bad projects, but once you have control over it what follows is logical.

Thank you @jesusjacr for your kind reply. I noticed that there is quite strong Venezuelian community on steemit. I really hope this platform will give some of you the chance for a better future.
Are things getting any batter lately? Or is your country still going down the drain?
Hope you're well my friend
It went down the drain a long time ago, but every day what is already very bad gets worse.
Im sorry to hear that mate.
Would you mind sending me short email to promib.pl@gmail.com? I would love to be able to keep in touch and support each other on Steemit.
I wish there would be more advanced notification system developed by steemit.
No pressure of course :)

Your comment on its potential to divide humanity is intriguing Piotr, indeed the power of remittance is disruptive. Plus the potential to crowdfunding things. as much as I love crypto, I can't help but think of the negatives myself. Imagine a dystopian future where the governments all issue digital identities on the blockchain centralised by government agencies and your bank account, social status to your credit score is tied to your digital identity and only the government issued currencies are accepted. We all have barcodes of our active keys and it's a black mirror nightmare.
Ultimately I just fear of the government and oligarch moves. But till then no matter what stake they have, Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Technology offer a level of liberty in ownership and the creative projects being nurtured is fascinating. But proceed with caution.. Pandora's box!
@crypto.hype Interesting point you bring up. I believe that @crypto.piotr is asking the wrong question however. The question is not whether blockchain and cryptocurrencies in and of itself will divide humanity. The question in my mind is whether we will have decentralized economic models vs the centralized ones we do today or some sort of hybrid. It's like saying will money divide the world or will AI technology divide the world. The question is more of who controls the resources, the wealth and the power? And today the answer is that only a few groups (Ex - In USA, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Corporate America & Washington DC call the shots).
Technology can be good or bad. The question is are we going to centralize or decentralize it's availability and are we going to give more power back to the people? This is interesting because Mark Zuckerburg's Senate Testimony Hearing proved that FaceBook and other social media companies are creating large monopolies and have too much control over 2 Billion users' data. They violate our data privacy and sell it to the highest bidder. When you have a system and a business model that creates incentives like that, Facebook at the end of the day makes its money from ad revenues. It's going to play dirty with our data. This is why we need to change our economic system and change the fundamental incentives.
Regulation is a major threat @crypto.hype, I hope in the long-term, the majority of nations choose not to regulate and leave crypto/blockchain space decentralized cause then there can be a lot of benefit to the masses and the unbanked can finally be banked.
Thank you to both of you @crypto.hype and @daddyku

Hi again @daddyku
I would love to stay in touch with you a little bit closer as I value your knowledge and your input. And we could support each other on Steemit.
I wish there would be more advanced notification system developed by steemit.
Plus you're very responsive which is absolutely great and steemit community surely will benefit by having you here.
Perhaps you could send me short email to promib.pl@gmail.com

@crypto.piotr Thank you for the kind words! You pose a lot of valuable feedback and post alot of good questions and posts :)
I would love to stay in touch, Email is not the fastest to reach me however, the best will be to chat with me via Steemit.chat @daddyku if you wouldn't mind! Cheers :)
Hi Farris,
I noticed that most people disagree with me and they think that this technology will unite people instead of dividing. I just dont see it happening. Majority of population will never have an access to benefits coming from this technlogy or understanding that would allow them to be part of this market.
Many will be excluded. If one doesnt understand what does it mean then I would recommend to visit some 3rd world countries as I did several times in the past. World is full of those who were left behind.
Some of your darkest dreams can actually happend one day.
David Haye has been one of my favorite YouTube sources on information since I started in crypto also. I think you made a good choice there and thanks for sharing this because I feel others could stand to benefit from his work also.
In terms of your question will Crypto divide humanity, I feel like it already has in many ways. There are those who avidly support it and those that do not, but the biggest constraint is the government crackdowns and the forceful prevention across the world in many countries against cryptocurrency when honestly you should be able to whatever you want with your money short of funding illegal activities or terrorist organizations. Personally I think Blockchain technology will become the future of technology and that the technology built on top of blockchains and will become part of everyday life whether people want it to or not, over time of course. So put me down on the side of humanity that will do whatever they can to continue to promote crypto and push for its continued success.
I will say that I personally believe that crypto has the greatest impacts or benefits of viewed as a commodity for trading purposes and a store of value when it comes to the financial aspects of things. I do not believe crypto would overtake currencies entirely or have any kind of near term prospect for becoming a useable currency in too many regards because the prices are far too volatile. Currencies do not fluctuate the same and have consistent usable values. You could actually be financially harmed by transacting in crypto if you sold something, say a house, and then the next day the price bottomed out.
I think it should be viewed as a form of digital commodity or asset, almost a hybrid between stocks and commodities such as gold and silver.
From a trcnological standpoint as well this is where the greatest impact on society as a whole will lie, not in the daily gains and losses of the market but from the technological advances that we'll see come from Blockchain technology.
Thank you for your amazing and super long comment. I appreciate every bit of it.
Do you have any other fav youtube influencers that you could perhaps recommend?
"In terms of your question will Crypto divide humanity, I feel like it already has in many ways."
I guess we're on the same page.
"I do not believe crypto would overtake currencies entirely"
And again on the same page. Boooring :)
I will re-read your post again in a moment. Thx again.
Hi @crypto.piotr
Thank you for this nice article. The question you brought up really made me think "Will crypto and blockchain divide humanity?"...
I think that at the moment crypto, blockchain and such have already divided us. A very large part of the population just have no clue about it and ignore the potential of this technology.
A good exemple of it was visible through the medias at the end of last year. People started to invest in cryptos without having the necessary knowledge to understand what it really is. The hype swaped over on the traditional medias that reported about the latest price peaks and excesses. What I have read made me think that we have a society in which there are three groups:
I remember 15 years ago, I used a mobile phone for the first time to contact my future wife which lived 2000 km away. Today everybody has a phone and you can do amazing stuff with them. The speed of the technological advance is amazing and ever accelerating recently.
It is up to us to make sure that the technolgy becomes available to everybody
What I want to say is: Yes the technology divides humanity but we are at the very beginning of this technology and it is not possible at the moment to know what and how much of it will prevail. The success of the technology really depends on us the crypto geeks. If we want to make sure that the technology develops and becomes popular for all humanity, we have a duty to educate as many people as possible. So in a way it is up to us to make sure that the technology will not divide but unify humanity.
I've never expected such a long and informative reply. OMG. i love it! :)
Im going to have read it and then re-read it before I will even start replying hehehe (answering to long posts is never easy)
"I think that at the moment crypto, blockchain and such have already divided us. A very large part of the population just have no clue about it and ignore the potential of this technology."
OMG. We're so much on the same page. You would be surprissed how many people seem to see things differently. Through pink glasses. Im hearing that world will be better place, that goverments will not be needed etc. I see this technology dividing society like knife would go through butter.
"People started to invest in cryptos without having the necessary knowledge to understand what it really is."
You may find my reply very strange and unusual. I like to think outside the box sometimes. So I also started with crypto at the end of 2017. I could tell that market is overheated and we will crash soon. So I invested just some money I could lose and I experienced january crash. I could avoid it easily. But I figured that learning process is way better once we're losing money. Because we're psychologically becoming stronger and we start to understand our emotions better.
You mentioned 3 different groups. Which one you would be in? :)
"The speed of the technological advance is amazing and ever accelerating recently."
Im honestly terrified. I know that once I will be old (age of 60-70) then I wont be able to catch up with technology.
I see our parents being overwhelmed already. We will have it much worse.

Sorry for the long comment, sometimes I cannot help it ;-). Thanks also for your extensive answer.
I would definitely consider myself as a crypto geek, but one who is technically limited. I would love to be able to code things myself.
I think you did a great job with your first competition. I wrote a comment, resteemed and upvoted ;-).
"Thanks also for your extensive answer."
Sometimes I also cannot help :)
Thank you so much for your support! You're the man!
Humanity is already divided. Crypto will not make it worse. The fact of the matter is that the policies of the banking system are the reason for financial exclusion and division along with governments using a divide and conquer strategy against the people so that top parasites remain in charge and can continue to collect profits. Their time is soon coming to an end.
The technology will have to reach a level simple enough so that Andreas Antonopoulos's mom would be able to use it. Then widespread adoption in the 3rd world will happen. He said a couple of years ago that we were at about the same point in adoption relation to the progress of the internet in 1992 and progressing 3x faster. Once a crypto trade can be done with the swipe of your hand on a smart phone, that's when mass adoption will happen.
The reason it has to happen in the 3rd world is because the rest of us who have full banking privileges aren't able to see the reason for it. We already have our system of banking and it works for us, but excludes more than half the population. Only 1.5 billion of the worlds people have full banking privileges. This whole system was set up because of the fear elites have that even more prosperity would cause a population explosion. They want to cull their human herd since WWII, but find covert ways to do it.
Thank you for your amazing and super long comment. I appreciate every bit of it.
I dont think that crypto will make it worse. I think that blockchain technology will. Can you imagine how hard it will be for those without education and access to technology? They will be left behind. In something that one day people will call "middle-age" :)
"The technology will have to reach a level simple enough so that Andreas Antonopoulos's mom would be able to use it."
Before it will happend we will already have our race divided like crazy.
Thank you for your comment. I noticed that you wrote about war in syria. Going to read this post now! :)
"This whole system was set up because of the fear elites have that even more prosperity would cause a population explosion. "
Wow. I never thought about it this way. Thanks for opening my eyes :)
cheers,
Hi Piotr,
I don´t think so. The internet also offers other opportunities to earn money outside of Steemit. Not only with cryptocurrencies. This split happened for years. Who has a way to use the Internet, which has a clear advantage. So it does not get better or worse with the blockchain. The actual state is not affected.
The big advantage is that with cryptocurrencies you can transfer very small amounts for very low fees (or free, as here at steemit) around the world. South Americans are about the same as the Poles. They are very flexible and can improvise very well. Especially for Paraguay, there is no way to exchange cryptocurrencies. But a friend has a cousin in Argentina. There he sends his cryptocurrency. Some products are cheaper in Argentina. So his cousin buys the value of the sent Cryptos products in Argentina and brings it to Paraguay.
I only have a small account, but I know the current situation in Venezuela and I know that there are a few STEEM cents worth of pure gold.
That's why I support with a small group people on Steemit in Venezuela.
I can support them with small upvotebots like drotto ;) - So i can give more support like i can with my votes.
For Europeans or Americans, an SBD may not be much, but if you know that the current monthly salary in Venezuela is only $ 3-5 a month, because of local currency inflation, then you know how much an SBD or a few cents is worth.
Greetings to Malaysia
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I appreciate it.
Have a great saturday
I just decided to re-read your comment. So much interesting info in it.
Greetings to Paraguay. It must be beautiful country. Is your economy okey? Or doing as bad as Venezuela?
I am one of those people who do not have a wide idea about crypto. I only have a few cryptos that I know. In my opinion, Crypto and Blockchain may both divide and not divide humanity. Yes, there are poor people that were helped by cryptos. I am one of them. I was able to buy my own computer, thanks to steemit's SBD and STEEM. I was able to buy a few stuff when BTC went up. Yes, there are countries that are accepting them and some of them even integrated it in their daily lives like Japan. However, We can also say that Cryptos does not always bring positive effects. When BTC went up, everyone celebrated and cashed their earnings but when BTC went down, what happened?
There was a news in my country, Philippines, about a couple who scammed people by using cryptos. The couple promised to give interests for those who would invest. Good thing the authorities were able to handle this now.
Crypto and Blockchain may and may not divide people due to the fact that not all people are accepting this at the moment. If you ask a friend to invest in crypto, and since they are not aware of it, this would form a barrier thus dividing you two as one who has the knowledge and one who doesn't. Crypto and other digital currencies started a lot of good projects like steemit but I see all of these still as businesses. If your business earned a lot, you will help a lot but if it doesn't it would be the contrary.
Thank you for your amazing and super long comment. I appreciate every bit of it.
You mind sharing what's your name? And from which part of Philipines are you? Things are not really that great over there right now, right?
Scammers will be popping up like mushrooms after heavy rain :( Unfortunatelly.
ps. please check my latest post (small contest). hope to hear from you again.
Piotr
I've read an article discussing how cryptocurrencies potentially will help those in third world countries. In short cryptocurrencies will enable those who live in developing countries to have access and to join the global economy that might help them with a source of income.
So I personally believe that cryptocurrencies/blockchain will unite and bring humanity together.
From my own experience of living in a farm in a developing country, we worked in a rice field and 1 hectare (10,000 m2) of rice field will give around 5 tons of rice over the course of 9 months, that would be approximately $2300 USD before taxes and expenses for 9 months. Some people could have earned that amount of money in less than a week on Steemit.
Further more blockchain and cryptocurrencies can aid these people to deal with hyperinflation, poverty, lack of jobs, poor infrastructure, and poor access to global markets that happen in those countries.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I appreciate it a lot.
Hi everyone,
Im aware that not everyone will read through entire post. We mostly "scan" posts to see what is it about and only read once we will find topic interesting.
I wanted you all to stop for a second and try to reply one question from text above, that I really believe is important:
Will crypto and blockchain divide humanity??Im aware that Im being followed by some serious bloggers and I really would love to know your opinion on that particular issue.
Cheers, Piotr
With a very basic overview, I don't think blockchain technologies will divide humanity. When more and more people adopt the ideas, likely, many governments will join the "FUN" (lol). Especially when concerning resources and party goals, more trust will be bestowed upon the government if there is more transparency provided by blockchain. Certainly, through, blockchain tech is not limited to just government applications, there are other benefits which may bring humanity together. I'm not saying there may not be some downsides though.
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your view and I really hope you're right. I wish that blockchain will unite humanity instead of dividing it.
Somehow Im very skeptical because I already see that poor populations have no access to benefits coming from banking system and gains of our economy.
There is so many (millions) of then being excluded already.
Technology will exclude huge part of humanity from benefits that this technology will provide. That's what worries me.
How would you involve uneducated populations into something so advanced? This is one hell of a question that I cannot answer.
I guess that makes two of us!

Hi bro, I was wondering, "David Hay" and "David Haye" is the same person or?
Indeed, we do need more privacy, especially in this 21st century, where privacy seems to be exposed everywhere online......
hahaha David Haye is my favourite boxer. Or one of favourite ones. You're fan of boxing? :)
Thx for your comment mate
Hehe, no wonder it sounds familiar here "David Haye" lol Well, I used to watch boxing when I was a teenager. Nowadays, I've shifted to MMA...
The pleasure is mine :)
you do MMA? cool!!!
I coach boxing and some of my students do MMA.

As to whether or not cryptos will divide humanity is a loaded question. People will be divided no matter what, at least for the nonce. The whole aim of the blockchain is to decentralize the monetary system and if and when that happens then other things will follow.
Division and separation comes from lack and limitation and the concentration of power. We know that the ruling class tends to employ the divide and conquer strategy to ensure they remain in control. But if the blockchain takes power from them, then it is not possible for them to do these things.
That said, one has to take into consideration other things such as culture and all the stuff that tends to balkanize people. Will the blockchain exacerbate these difference? Or will it help to pull people together? I doubt. But who know.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I appreciate it.
I agree that we're divided and we will be divided even more. I think.
Have a great saturday

By the way, how did you create the disclaimer section at the bottom of your posts where you insert your goals and a photo of yourself? That is really cool. You're blog posts look great, wish I had the same skills and knowledge.
That's just a picture. I prepared .jpg and Im uploding it on steemit the way I do with other photos.
Im glad to hear that you like it. To tell you the truth I dont mind helping you. Im not a graphic designer but I know how to use photoshop.
Let's keep in touch and help each other :)
Hi Piotr! I discovered @davidhay (is it the real one? Not being too active it seems) rather late, and i like his way of presenting things! Very interesting question you raise in the course. I see platforms like steemit, seem to enable a lot of people from poorer countries to make a living and feed their family, the best example being the earlier poster from venezuela. As rergards power, i tend to agree more with your view. The whales are all sitting in Europe, North America and East Asia, the rest of the world remains marginalised.
Thank you for your reply and kind words. I appreciate your comment :)

I have just been introduced to crytpos recently and I have been sourcing for content that will get me up to speed with the events and eventuality surrounding it and I find your post informative.
.....................the divide the buzz around cryptos might bring might turnout to be eventful for the third world nations. And checking out David content might be resourceful.
.........am on it as we speak
Thank you for your reply and kind words. I appreciate it.
This is a debate that is far more complicated than just cryptocurrencies. Humanity gets divided on everything. You look at any liberating force, it will always end up dividing people. Look at how humanity fights over God, people that agree on what God's name is cannot agree on what God's plan is.
Politics and power end up mudding up the waters of everything. "By the dark side, clouded they become." -Sounds like something Yoda would say.
Crypto is a liberating force, but as long as there are current institutions of power at play, any new power dynamic that gets introduced can have an adverse affect. I think this is what you are looking at when you think that it could cause more damage than good.
I see these power dynamics as damaging to humanity as long as they exist and crypto as one way of weakening the current power structures. Whenever a power structure is threatened it will always exert its influence in an attempt to maintain power. Change is rarely silent.
The real question in my mind is not if crypto being introduced will cause damage, but if the change it will bring will be worth the damage caused. Of course, it is not actually crypto that will cause the damage... but rather the current power structure fighting to hold power that will cause the damage.
I hope that makes sense.
Thank you for your amazing and super long comment. I appreciate every bit of it. So many good points. Thanks.
"The real question in my mind is not if crypto being introduced will cause damage, but if the change it will bring will be worth the damage caused."
This is such an amazing way of putting it. I didnt think of it this way until now. It does make perfect sense. Thanks for sharing.
I noticed that you resteemed my post. You're the man! :D
Ive just read your other post about originalworks contest. Good read. You made me blush and smile :) Thanks
This is a great read, friend. People like David Hale are needed to educate millions of people about the blockchain revolution.
I don't think crypto will divide humanity. Although there will be some resistance from those on the other side, in the end we all will unite in the other side of the bridge.

Hi mate, thx for your kind feedback. Im blushing again :)
We do need people like David. But we dont have them. That's why I wonder if this technology will not divide people. I can easily imagine 70-80% population not knowing how to benefit from this technology. And it may divide them. I hope Im wrong and you're right.
I made my first contest ever. Would you mind checking it out and sharing your feedback? And perhaps also commenting as Im interested what is your view on discussed issue:

I would really appreciate if you could share some of your experience with me :)

David Hay is probably my favorite YT personality. Not only is he very smart in the space, he has a good concept of the tech and how it can impact the world .. Very impressed with him.
Funny you post that video from NAC3. I would say that is really where he sealed it up for me, he was the standout star there. Crypto Bobby also well spoken but hard to match DH.
Thanks for your comment @cryptobr0 :)
Indeed DH is doing great job. He know's very well how to talk to public.
Take care mate. I love your latest video about SUB.
ps.
I would love to stay in touch with you a little bit closer as I value your knowledge and your input. And we could support each other on Steemit.
I wish there would be more advanced notification system developed by steemit.
Plus you're very responsive which is absolutely great and steemit community surely will benefit by having you here.
Perhaps you could send me short email to promib.pl@gmail.com
No pressure of course,
Cheers, Piotr
