I woke up in Mexico City yesterday and had a bit of an epiphany.
I've often said that I believe we create our own reality. But I hadn't quite realized how I had created my own in the last few years and am now, in many ways, "living the dream."
And when I say, "living the dream", I mean that I dreamt about having a life like I do today and now, like a dream, it is happening.
It was about eight years ago that I decided to create the first anarcho-capitalist, Austrian economics based financial newsletter, The Dollar Vigilante.
Many people said the world wasn't ready for it... but I said, "Let's make them ready then."
And, I started a podcast, called Anarchast, about anarchy... a very unusual topic 8 years ago. And it has grown into a fairly large podcast and has even spun off its own conference, Anarchapulco, which had 500 people from across the world attend this year.
And, I've been covering cryptocurrencies since 2011 even despite many people warning me they were just a fad/scam/ponzi... and they have grown into a $100 billion+ market, just as I said it would.
And, I even now make very good money just posting to a decentralized, blockchain based social media platform... Steemit!
I realized how a decade ago this was all just a dream... a pipe dream even. But it has all come to pass... so, did I actually create my own reality?
And, can you do the same?
I pondered all this as I walked through a dog park in incredibly dangerous Mexico City and somehow survived.

I just want to say, thank you for changing my life with all the great advices.
I'm following the dream and walking the path.
Thank you, 謝謝你！

I am a firm believer that our brains are functional contraption to access the vast potential field of intelligence called concsiousness . Every second every moment we use this field to shape or choose our future. As you mention in your post, we can always create our reality by just accessing this field of unbounded intelligence.
The dream which we live today can only become reality if we believe our gut, which basically is a signal from our brains to create new ideas from the field. Once a reality , we always would look back and attribute it to the idea which motivated or inspired us ...
Could not have agreed with you more friend
following you ;)
I love thinking about our global consciousness and how we interact with this field. Is everything fractal and we are all part of the whole? Who knows but I love asking these kinds of questions. Thank you for sharing your words. You have a new follower! :)
Thanks a tonne friend
If you can dream it, you can achieve it!
Yes! All that we create first exists as a thought. Such a powerful concept! Excited to follow you and be connected to like minds and hearts.
Happy to follow you and getting inspired from your super positive project "foodisfree"!
Glad to be connected on here! We're all in this together. :)
Jeff- You've inspired me to start the juice cleanse, I've been watching your videos on fasting, etc non-stop and can clearly tell how much of a positive effect you've seen. Congrats on living your dream and thanks for doing all you do.
Well said!
following you ;)
Thx, you too!

Good post Jeff!
You are an inspiration to maṅy people. I have successfully come out of 'being a successful executive' addiction and have started trying to live mt life. Lol. Upvoted and followed you.
I would be honoured if you check my latest blogs when you have time. Your comments will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
It is good to see the world slowly wake up to the FED scam, supported by new technologies popping up like cryptocurrencies and the internet. Entrepreneurs like @dollarvigilante and @tracemayer did a very good job to speed up this proces by informing people from the beginning. Thanks!

I hope to one day be living the dream too! And congrats on your success!

Very interesting interview - great insights (upvoted and followed).
You might also be interested in the content we post - here's a recent photography post:

Let me know what you think.
ahaha very smooth! You are smart to use any comment @thejohasfiles makes as anopportunity to promote a post to him and youd be lucky to get a one percent upvote from him!!
if I was a greedy person I would simply have my eyes glued to his comments page all day everyday and reply to everyone of his comments, finding out the riight amout of time to go by before i bbring up a post of mine, i would find out exactly the content he liked and i would try only posting that hhahaha i notice he really likes certain sports and i dknow nothing about it and so i wont try and cange who I am just to get a whales upvotees BUT ITS TEMPTING hahahah Its a HUGE rush to get anupvote from johas! I am SOhappy he is a good guy and chill and hasnt flagged anyone that ive seen! in Fact I saw Johas being SUPER passionate ABOUT flagging and how you SHOUDLNT flag! i remember Johal telling this guy to remove his unfair flag hhah he was serious too, and he wasnt threatening to flag him back but i wouldnt fuck with him! Johal and other steemiit whales are being very supportive of us all and I cantthank them enough, and sorry for the rambling but something tells me to report all of these thoghts
haha if Johal wanted to crush us he could , like this
he could DESTROY you! haha imagine if Reddit had this sort of justice! man oh man reddit was only great because of its users !! now we have the creativity and the energy and fresh blood!
Johal is going to become a billionaire in a very short while and he knows it, I remember him commenting on it, and now I understand why he he has to save almost every dollar he has now....the same way I feel like the more money I get the more I need to save, because of how valuable theese cryptocurrenies are! Its like a time capsule, when u look at prices from a year ago your jaw drops, its almost painful for anyone to look back at just Ethereum prices in january! To people just getting into it its an exciting sprise WOw ethereum went up 10,000 percebt i gotta get in on this! hahaha nd then once ur in for a while u look at how cheap analtcin was a year ago or just a few months ago and iits Painfull!
haha i found a photo of Johal from the future!
he will be wearing solid gold clothing! He will do so much good with his first Billion dollars and alot of fun for steemit users with the second billion dollars .....i have faith that johal will give so much back to steemit...he will help give virtual reality goggles to new users in need to let them join our virtual reality steemit game in the future andd it wil gain him eeven moe followers and Joha will becoome a trillionaire....its totallly possible to beecome a trillionaire with cryp,to currency......The world already has trillionaires they are just not public...with crypto currency peoplee will be able to collect all the worls money inone place and it will ad up into the trillions and it will be possible to invest your way into a trillion dollars and johal might becoome onf of the fiirst
Haha (upvoted + followed) :D
Well, I certainly didn't think about this as in-depth as you. We're just looking at ways to grow our Steemit audience and promote our posts. Not sure if this is the best way to do it...hope it doesn't back-fire :S
On a side note, what do you guys think of Steemit's post promotion system? I read this post the other day, which I think highlights some of the issues with it:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@arabebtc/are-steemit-promoting-system-useful
I was thinking of creating a Steemit group or profile on Minds.com (which has it's own promotion system where ‘promotion power’ can be earned for free by using the website). In theory, this could give stuggling Steemit users a way to get eyeballs on their posts. What do you think?
A comment, longer then 60% of posts. w0w
Nice presentation,meaningful comment .good job mate!

Thank you, @healthiswealth ! Great idea.
Thank you Jeff, for everything you do. You are a truly inspirational man. Thanks
Great video! You're making me want to move to Mexico since it's so "dangerous" lol
I arrived to Austrian Economics through G. Edward Griffin´s The Creature form Jekyll Island. I am pleased to hear you mentioning these same origins.
Funny thing, though. Mr. Griffin does not acknowledge Austrians, and I wonder why. On the other hand, I mentioned The Creature to people talking about central banking in LRC, and they seem to ignore him themselves. This I sort of understand, since he says nothing about the Austrian tradition which was saying what he discovered on his own perhaps a century before. But still, I believe they should acknowledge him as well.
Do what you love, never work a day in your life!

Jeff man you are really Inspiring... you totally changed my perspective about cryptocurrencies.
I follow each one of your post.
I never miss any Dollarr vigilante video on youtube.
Thank you very much.
Forget just changing my perspective on cryptocurrencies, this dude is changing my life. Finally someone makes sense to me. He doesn't have to scream and yell to get attention. He's a good dude that doesn't give a shit about what the mainstream thinks. I admire those characteristics. Thanks Jeff!
You help out big time with your dog walks :) Thanks

Thank you Jeff, you have opened my eyes a bit more to the reality we all need to experience. I just wish that I had come to understand the true meaning of what you are trying to explain sooner.

Jeff,
I just recently found you on YouTube. You have been a real inspiration to me. I too am one who likes to share my own thoughts even though they might not match what society expects/demands they be. I too believe life is what you make it not what is made for you. Thank you again for all you do. Keep it up. We really appreciate you.

So positive..thank you man!

I'm here because of Jeff's recommendation too! Welcome. Look forward to seeing your content.
You are a great inspiration Jeff and are making a difference in this world. Dollar Vigilante is real news!
Thanks Jeff. Been following your videos on YT for the last month or so, and I'm very glad I found you. I especially love your dog walking videos. So much motivation and general great advice on how we should live.
I'm trying to break free from the 9-5 right now and I'm hoping SteemIT will at least get me started or provide a bit of a boost that I need.
Aside from that I'm into internet marketing and looking into as many options as possible to get out of the rat race.
I thank you so much for the inspiration and motivation.
Take care, and keep doing what you do. There's so many people out there like me who need an extra large dose of your encouraging words each day to keep us believing.

@jeffberwick - I agree with you about Facebook. You should watch Zukerbergs latest interviews/speech..all on YouTube. He seems eager to change all his plans so quick...something tells me they have STEEM on their radar.

@jeffberwick My only complaint is that I didn't discover your YouTube videos earlier! You put a lot of compelling content out for the masses, and it has definitely caused me to stop and mull over quite a bit.
