The following picture is a vendor in Thailand selling tiny portable sewing machines for around $4 CAD - zoom in on picture for incredible detail:
On a lighter note than my title, for Christmas one of my readers started a donation wave to fund third world poor 'Direct to Vendor' by transferring me steem and I will/would convert to local currency and give 100% of the proceeds directly to the poor. We are at around $100.00 CAD donated to date. This cuts out any administration fees most agencies have. It is all about trust and thanks goes to the following for having 100% trust in me to follow through on this:
Thanks you @offgridlife, @tohamy7, @shadflyfilms, @tamurah, @santy, @borgheseglass and @daisyphotography.
The blockchain with bitcoin as its validation token is moving the world to what I like to call 'Computational Trust' as governments, corporations and people lose trust in each other. You can read more on that via this link. The article in the link disputes my assertions and I describe how I see the author is wrong between his writings.
I was alone at Christmas this year as my son is independent now and lives in a different city and I currently am single and chose to be traveling out of country. In such, I was able to have 'two days of Christmas' by going back in time with a time change difference from Hong Kong to Vancouver BC Canada. I left Christmas morning Hong Kong time, spent all of Christmas day wishing many Seasons Greetings in airports and with other passengers on the plane and landed in Vancouver 'again on Christmas day' to spend another whole day of Christmas in Richmond BC (Vancouver) area with other travelers two days of Christmas first time for me!
The following are two displays from two of the airports I went through:
Above Hong Kong International Airport
Below Vancouver International Airport:
The upcoming pension crisis, housing equity valuations and or inflation I described in my last post is very well explained in the YouTube video blog below with David Stockman former Treasurer Secretary to President Ronald Regan:
He expects that a 2% increase in interest rates in one year time frame is very posible and that would mean a $2.5 billion USD in lost profits for corporations...not priced in in current stock and bond valuations with markets at all time records.
I like the following video on the potential allocation of blockchain tokens (bitcoin) into your portfolio to hedge against the revaluation and or inflation David Stockman talks about above:
Talking about dark money in the title of this piece, when I was a young man I read many books on the mob and teamsters union of New York. At that time lots of money was being racketed away to Montreal Canada a jurisdiction out of the DOJ (USA Department of Justice). This money helped fund the few families that own and run Canada. The mob leaders are able to clean their proceeds by buying stocks and bonds and I think has over years becoming the biggest shareholders of the planet encouraging the largest banks etc. to gauge or act with fraud against their customers. Here is an excellent piece from Naomi Prins. She also wrote the book called 'All the Presidents Bankers'. The super rich (dark money) also control the Plunge Protection Team and Exchange Stabilization Fund both of which I believe should not exist in a free market capitalistic world. The people that have such control are not known to the world as they own the media and have the media focus on the single richest people or celebrities. This link shows some of the real power players that have a 1,000% more control than a Warren Buffet or Bill Gates.
I really am enjoying using Steemit to blog and an interesting fact for those who like 'liberty' comparing Facebook to Steemit 'deletion of one comment difference': With FaceBook one staff member or, board of directors or the President Mark Zuckerberg could delete/censor any comment they wanted to. With Steemit the creator has 30 days to edit then it is etched in as read only and cannot be changed without the 1,000 witnesses voting for a code change and all would be transparent for everyone to see. A huge difference the blockchain is bringing to the world. I encourage you to open an account on Steemit and start creating some content.

Thank you for your resteem...you will love my next post with more on 'Direct to Vendor' charity during holiday season.
Thanks Mr Hunter and Dr Stockman,frustratingly enlightening.
"Doomsterism"is the name of the game when you analyse truthfully government numbers.However,the lies and deceit vomiting from government makes the numbers a piece of art,from these numbers we are well aware that the conclusion to all of this is the collapse of the economy.Like all empires,the collapse occurs outside first,so those of us in Europe and the UK can expect a lot of pain,with Japan,China and Asia in for a painful turmoil.Meanwhile,the "smart"money is fleeing the confines of cronyism and nepotism that is Europe and the UK and fleeing to the USA major capped stocks in the DOW,hence its soar away prices for now.
Here in the UK our economy sucks for us real life peasants.Royalty and government have a pretend Christmas full of largesse for them,we are expected to have significantly less.Those in supermarkets know they will have a lot of Christmas fare left on their shelves come December 26th.Attempts at jollity from these same supermarkets are a sick, joke of consumerism which leaves the peasants out,it will indeed be an interesting event to see what lies on the other side of this insanity. @greenman
I'm looking forward to our next post.
The future will bring us clearity in these cases, clearity to all the people. The revolution of information is the best opportunity we had since ever. May the force be with us :D
I read this below. You are not arrogant, some should won't be able to understand the futures way. I'm sure we will go on.
But to get back on the question below, if you would have to give a number, we will end with in 2018 BTC Price. What would it be?
BR
I would guess it will be at least 2-4 times its current price. Total guess but it is the blockchain I trust for long term survival and should be extremely strong over the next few years even if another crypto moves into a bigger market share holding.
Oh, i see i missed your answer my friend. Thanks, that you found the time to answer, even there are 300+ comments on your posts. Awesome!
So 2-4 times, let's see what the future will bring to us. I'm looking for the long-term survival, too. But since I'm a fan of the singularity hypothesis, i think we will see big movements in this year. My bet would be around 85k USD each btc.
I am so glad I stumbled onto your post last week. This is the second post of yours that I am reading up! Thank your very much for your tremendous kindness and good intention to help the poor and underprivileged. Thank for sharing your thoughts and concerns with us and passionate drive to make the world a happier place for so many people!
Lots of people are on their own during Christmas and the New Year celebrations, including you, me and others. Life can suck some of the days, but there are also days when the sun shines beautifully.
Happy year to you all ...2018
Thank you @greenman for continuous support and wish you happy year

You always upload nice and helpful post. and your website also so much helpful sir....
Congratulations @greenman!
Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following category:
Exactly, as several hundred authors have claimed, the world is largelly controlled by a supranational oligarchy. There is a lot of quantitative evidence to support this claim. According to a recent study made by Stefania Vitali, James B. Glattfelder and Stefano Battiston at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, a large portion of the tens of thousands of trasnational corporations that exist in the world are controlled just by 147 super-corporations (source: "The Network of Global Corporate Control" http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0025995). In the other hand, there is public information about how the CEOs of those super-corporations meet with politicians through forums and think-tanks such as the Pilgrim Society, the Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA), the Inter-American Dialogue, the World Economic Forum and the Council of the Americas/Americas Society. And there is also a lot of public information about the billions of dollars that those corporations have "invested" in the campaigns of these nefarious politicians.
why people are comment more and more. grenman you broke your rules.i see it very carefully. Fuck off Greenman...............................................
Peace be with you.
Thanks once again.its for fun Grennman. Hope you like it. I just have to say peace be with you too............Have fun Greenman. Always be Happy.Happy Journey Greenman. Hope you succeed on your purpose.I'm always with you.Keep Going on that.God Bless you and Your family.

you are really nice guy @greenman
Who are you to judge what @greenman does with his money ????? ... It is like a man going on a journey, who summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The one who had received five talents went off right away and put his money to work and gained five more. In the same way, the one who had two gained two more. But the one who had received one talent went out and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money in it. After a long time, the master of those slaves came and settled his accounts with them. The one who had received the five talents came and brought five more, saying, ‘Sir, you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’ His master answered, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful in a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’ The one with the two talents also came and said, ‘Sir, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more.’ His master answered, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 Then the one who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Sir, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed, so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’ But his master answered, ‘Evil and lazy slave! So you knew that I harvest where I didn’t sow and gather where I didn’t scatter? Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received my money back with interest! Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten. For the one who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless slave into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth ...
@offgridlife... The scriptures is complete.
With full wisdom and knowledge... He who has talent should fully make use of it, and therefore blessing follows
Nice car and pain public
Beautiful post, you should be appreciated...
tnx for resteem
Hello dear @greenman
Great to see your Blog once again and what a cool find you had there tiny portable sewing machines wow i zoomed in to look into the details and must say its wow how cool is that :)
Coming back to the point of this post !
I will/would convert to local currency and give 100% of the proceeds directly to the poor. We are at around $100.00 CAD donated to date.
Wow nothing beats that directly to the people who are in need of that as i in my opinion don't trust any middle men as these organisations had their own taxes and fees sometime i feel like giving is not good at all due to their structure of working but you are changing the phase of my thinking with your work :)
Thanks you @offgridlife, @tohamy7, @shadflyfilms, @tamurah, @santy, @borgheseglass and @daisyphotography.
Great people these are all the best to them god bless them all :)
Seems like even you were not that busy but you were a lot busy in travelling and all that stuff good to see your are on travelling experience i loved the pic from both the airports but liked the Vancouver International Airport most thanks for sharing that :)
And some really cool and interesting videos now i got to watch that you have shared in your vlog will see them right now until then bye and have great holidays
Happy New Year
Cheer's
Upvoted and resteemed. Mr @greenman with the rise of crypto do you think that physical gold has started to lose it historical value ?
bitcoin could go to $30K in some time around summers
today to see the sewing machins in ur post i think it will be best (skills zone+charity)...hope it will be more great to those people to give them also skill with help which stand them one day and i sure u also thinked on it and maybe u planed it respected great @paul.....and sure we will like this name GREEN MAN CHARITY+SKILL ZONE
what do you think about the recent declining bitcoin price.
and how your prediction of bitcoin in 2018, whether more expensive or more turu.
What is your opinion?
The big money is shaking the bitcoin tree to scare the little money away so they can own all the bitcoin. It is called pump and dump happened 7 times in 2017. If you hold you will be rewarded with record highs for the rest of your life. Sell at those record highs to pay for your overhead when needed.
This comment will soon be etched as 'read only' in the steemit blockchain and here for future generations to see that I was correct hundreds of years from now if not thousands. I consider myself a futurist. Some would consider me arrogant.
Global markets, the United States and almost all of Europe is going on a calm season because Christmas holiday.
Markets will be closed today in the US, and in most countries of Europe, today and tomorrow are Christmas holidays. Analysts said that the new week is a quiet start to the open Asian markets and that investors will be in holiday mood during the week and that a horizontal course can be followed at open markets... @greenman
wow very interesting and very useful information,
I really like your opinion that is very wise and very amazing.
and thanks for vote my comments.
This correction is good for bitcoin. Anything that goes up needs to come down before the next leg up.
Whoa, I like the confidence on Bitcoin! My friends also tell me that Bitcoin is as good as a retirement savings, which will pay for a good life soon. Well, I'm still having doubts, but hopefully I can embrace it unconditionally. :)
If these things happen, you can make huge profits
Imagine if we hodl BTC for 20 years and it continues going up. I can retire super early!
Bitcoin is used as a commodity and not on its real purpose. I totally agree with the pump and dump. The Bitcoin network needs to be more scalable and working to be used for its orginal purpose. Currently: 4 hours for a transaction is crazy. This is not a currency.
You are correct.
Absolutely. I started buying the dips in May and turned a few hundred into a few thousand.
@greenman You made a very wise decision to buy Bitcoin early. I only started buying bitcoin ... $20 on the dips back in May and those very small investments are now thousands of dollars. Here on Steemit I invested nothing at all ... only sharing my photography and my paintings and other random thoughts .... and that has grown to $6,000
Thank you bro but i am now upset for the Bitcoin..i hope Bitcoin come up from this problem ... am i right @offgridlife
When should i buy bitcoin, is this the time.to buy ?
Buy the dips. Anytime is a good time to buy $20 worth .... http://www.Investacoin.blogspot.ca
I am completely with you, everything will be so :)
Fake money bro...
It is not Fake money when you can sell just a little Bitcoin and feed hundreds of people food.
Steem can also be used to feed the hungry.
many also respond to my comments.
I am very happy to see it
see it, feel it, greed it.
if futurist people didn't sound arrogant then they won't be futurist enough.by saying that you made yourself sound humble .you have a great mind and by the looks of it ,years of experience.i am new and a student so your support will help me loads.will look forward to your newer posts.happy new year in adv. :)
well said @greenman, that's why people loves you...i will support you all the way...
Keep steeming my friend.
I also think so. Just hold your bitcoin and you will be rewarded.
you are many things @greenman , but be sure that arrogant isn't one of them. you are one of the kindest, down to earth big fellows i've come across on steemit so far.
Sangat bagus
You think is right. I support you.
Have a good journey sir...meery christmas and happy new year...dont worry about the bitcoin price...it will back again high next month......so enjoy
Bagus kali
Thanks Mr. Hunter and Dr Stockman, I watched the video 2 days ago, so I wanted to write it immediately. annoying illuminator.
When you analyze government numbers correctly, the name of the game is "Doomsterism". However, the number of lies and vomit emanations from the government make a piece of art, and from these numbers, we are aware of the collapse of all of the results. As in all of Europe, the collapse takes place in the first place, so our countries in Europe and the United Kingdom can expect Japan, China and Asia to suffer for a painful turmoil. Meanwhile, "smart" money escapes the boundaries of chronism and nepotism from Europe and the United Kingdom and escapes the US stockpiled stocks in DOW, thus rising prices up to the present.
Here in the UK our economy sucks the real peasants, loyalty and Christmas for the government is a fake Christmas, it is expected to be much less for them. They know they will stay on Christmas dinner shelves in supermarkets. It would be an interesting event to see dishonesty attempts from the same supermarkets, a patient from peasants abandoned, consumer joke jokes, what actually lies on the other side of this madness.
Happy Noeller everyone is real.
Although fancy Christmas is only for the rich. @greenman
i belive alwase your post good greenman.
Right now I doubt if I can compare Facebook to steemit.com as steemit.com has helped so many lives and souls, I see Facebook as a total waste of time now. Why waste my time on Facebook when I can write and earn, God bless @ned.

I've been to Hong Kong thrice, but I haven't seen any displays such as that in the photo. I didn't know that they set up something like that. Maybe, I should visit during Christmas to witness something like that.
Now, as for Bitcoin having the potential to be a safe haven asset, I am still having some doubts due to the intense volatility it has, but I guess soon it will stabilize (or am I being too ambitious?).
Anyway, I wish you happy holidays Paul! :)
Maybe it was the Bangkok airport...lets see if a reader can help confirm?
Dark money boss.
I hope good travel @greenman.
Hey @greenman.... it's always great to see your report and always have investors to take the right decision for your post you really done a great work.
