With money it's a little easier to breathe.

  • It's indeed a reality that a persons relationship and access to money can influence the health of the physical body.

  • You've probably experienced this yourself. Say your are in crypto, How did you feel the first time the price on your coin dipped real hard into a self-correction? FUD - you say....The "Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt".

  • Imagine living every day like that?

  • Some social psychologists believe that money has got everyone by the balls....metaphorically speaking. Even those who appear to be, "all cool" and "living the good life".

  • Turns out that many of the money success stories of people today have been an outflow of playing out serious inferiority complexes that stemmed from traumatic events in childhood...and ever since there was this desire and thirst for money.

Obviously, Money itself is Innocent.

Money is just a tool - it's well being in our society is a matter of reflection into the condition of the Human.

  • The Human's relationship with itself and it's peers will determine the effectiveness of money used in the world.

  • It's a startling statistic when we recognize that a good part of the planet isn't exactly being included into the basic financial infrastructure here today. Not to mention the 'wage labor' system that is common practice where a person can earn peanuts a day.

Basic Income Testing Initiatives are a Start...but are also kind of revealing of the tragedy and travesty here today.

Before joining the program in October, the single mother of six and grandmother of 12 was “barely surviving” on $330 a month in basic needs allowance from Ontario Works, the province’s welfare program for people without disabilities.

Her total income for 2016 was $4,247.

Because Moore was homeless, she was not eligible for a shelter allowance that would have brought her monthly Ontario Works payment to just over $700.

But under the basic income experiment, Moore receives $1,416 a month, an amount that remains constant no matter where she lives.

“It is giving me back my independence,” she said. “I don’t feel so backed into a corner. If I want to eat, I can afford to buy something instead of going to a food bank or a soup kitchen.”

The numbers are startling...

  • In my opinion this is still a rather substandard quality of life.

  • As we move increasingly forward into a world of automation - there isn't the same need for human wage slaves. With this in mind - we're somewhat close to a tipping point in looking at the way we structure our very co-existence on the planet.

  • If you think about it....the way the structure of the world economy has evolved...we've completely missed the point. Arguably the consequence of everybody making a bit of mistake somewhere along the way....and the sins of our forefathers...

  • The idea that you have to "work" to earn your keep...is a bit outdated....

  • It's like saying to these old people in the basic income study in Canada...

Here's a little bit of money to survive...but really you should go out and try to turn a trick or something....to you know earn your keep

  • In summary, pretty much everyone recognizes that we all need basic living support. No man is an Island.

  • This is somewhat of a sophisticated topic of investigation and study - because the intricacies as to how the basic money as debt structures exist are mostly not well understood and the language is advanced in it's technicality...where we've got a money system that is not easily palpable in terms of the average person explaining the basics of how the money systems function.

  • Kind of a fun, funny fact - We have a system here that mostly nobody understands how it works. Remind me of the movie, "The Island"

They use humans as tools....as instruments....because they have no souls. People will do anything to survive.

  • Time to paradigm shift from trying to survive....to thriving in a world catered to self-expression.

  • Another seemingly archaic thing is the rules and regulations that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. This kind of a game of musical chairs for the big money players - as you just register your business/company wherever there is the most benefits.

  • Maybe one day we will get to a point where people are able to freely choose where they would like to live. Currently, the majority of humans simply do not have this option due to severe oppression and economic injustices both locally and globally.

  • If you have money - you are free to exist

  • If you don't have money - you must pay with your life to exist.

Prediction - We see more discussion about money and the best directions forward.

Cheers to a Paradigm Shift in our existing Here.

  • Emphasis on the environemt, recreation, and leisure....Opens up a lot of opens source creative potential.

  • when there's no pressure to perform - the results are usually superior. It's science.

  • human's have a natural learning ability - might as well support our utmost potential.

In the mean time - Crypto to the Moon!

  • probably a good idea to start investigating the different governance models on the emerging blockchain tech.
