Every day I tell myself, that this is a special time to be alive, not to be squandered, every moment is precious.

What makes this time so special is the rate of change we are expirienceing and the witnessing of the complete and utter failure of most of our social institutions, with no clear resolution in sight yet. This makes this a dangerous time too.

The following institutions are in a mode of failure: Politics, Education, Finances, Healthcare, and Economy. Because modern time has replaced god with an ever growing economy and money, we are in serious trouble.

This means, that our god lies there, struck down with terminal illness soon to be dead. This is a discomforting realization that gives reason to stop and reflect how this was possible and come up with alternate solutions to these challenges.

These are monumental challenges that lie in our amateur hands, because the experts failed. We have to accept this situation and make the best of it.

This is the grandios ending of the wrongly centralized epoch, where our society has been centrally governed. This has led to corruption within the system and to distortion and added friction in our economy that can only be solved with a shift to a new paradigm.

it is a special kind of apprehension I am feeling towards this situation that sometimes keeps me up at night. The challenge is to keep focussing on the solutions and work towards implementing them in my own life whilst accepting that change takes time.

Change not only takes time, it also favors those who embrace it.

The central structures that are not in alliance with the natural laws of efficiency will vanish and be replaced with means and technologies that can provide the same utility with less friction and energy lost.

But the major shift will be in our way, we measure and communicate value. This shift concerns the heart center of our economic interactions. The days of the Fiat money issued by governments is over, because of a failed monetary policy that has led to money not being scarce anymore and also to a diminished use case because of all the barriers that are supposed to to prevent the financing of crime.

We have to understand, that we are the owners of our time and energy. We are the beneficiaries of the results of our work. No one has the right on any part of what You earned, except if You are willing to hand it over to them in Your free will.

Change will not be coming from government or the banking system, because those were the instigators of this crisis in the first place. It is now clear, what has been done to us and by whom. We were being sold by our own governments to the banking system which works according to a rule book they have written themselves. By controlling the currency effectively everyones labour is centrally valued retroactively. This means the work You already have done is being diminished via currency devaluation. This way in the last century every government fiat has lost almost all it s value, and people start to notice

This trick best works in the dark and when there is no alternative or competition.

The advent of Bitcoin is a true gamechanger, because it attacks the power structure at the one single point of weakness at the funding level. Because Bitcoin provides value that functions outside the controlled system it acts as a counterbalance to the ever expanding financial policy.

Bitcoin is not the silver bullet to solve all problems, it is just an idea. It redefines, how we can interact with no third party involved, based on mathematics. This idea wont go away, because it already proves to be superior in so many aspects and it gets stronger with every attack it survived.

I compare Bitcoin to the invention of the wheel. And look at how many inventions have been made, that in some form or other incorporate the concept of the wheel. The same will be happening with Bitcoin and the Blockchain. There are areas where a centralized solution still will be the way to go, but many other areas the Bitcoin protocol will be much better suited to establish trust. It is impossible to keep track of all the followup inventions that evolve out of this crazy one idea, the Bitcoin blockchain. These are heady times as the internet of value and money is being created.

What You can do, to be part of this change is to keep educating Yourself and people You interact with. Start talking about alternatives and help others to find get set up for this paradigm change. It is us normal people who have the knowledge of this new technology who can help best.

We are the ones we have been waiting for.
