It may not have been so in the beginning but it seems so now.
Banks seem to veer toward debt creation.
Bitcoin seems to focus on wealth creation.
Stop paying your mortgage or credit cards.
See what happens.
The banks will call.
Debt collection agencies will call.
They will hound you no end.
Until you pay.
You're their meal ticket.
They need your monthly payments.
Seems that's how they're built.
That is their foundation.
That the people pay long and hard.
They will not hear about non-payments.
They do have an army of collection agencies.
And their well-paid lawyers.
How they shield themselves from the people.
Banks have gotten too inflated.
Too many vice-presidents in-between.
For every new branch, every new staff, we pay.
They charge sky-high interest rates on loans.
Most of us need those loans.
They always create new schemes for us to bite into.
The poor, exhausted man cannot keep up.
Payments are due every time.
He can barely breathe.
He is drowning in debt.
Can you find a simple bank somewhere?
Where they have a few, kind, warm staff.
And no real desire to over-expand?
Or to over-charge?
But maybe banks aren't designed that way.
They're designed on debt.
Huge interest rates on your loans will ensure that.
Especially when you fail to make your monthly payments.
So you keep paying.
And yet it seems the principal amount remains.
If you've never been in debt with them, you won't understand.
But try missing a payment here and there.
Boy, you're gonna get it.
Ah, but bitcoin's different.
It seems to be focused on wealth creation.
Let the intention remain sound, though.
If it's for the people, it will hold.
If it's for wealth creation of but a few, it may not.
But there's beauty and heart in the system.
All you need is a computer, a wallet, and a bitcoin address.
And people you can trust and will teach you what works.
It's all digital currency.
Can be exchanged with other currencies, too!
You can earn for FREE if you share your link with others.
And they sign up under you.
Everyone earns.
Slow and steady.
Even fast and frenetic at times.
Thing is, when it's fast and frenetic, others get carried away.
They forget the rest of the population in the equation.
If a currency is to survive, it must have heart.
Prophet of markets know that.
Without heart, nothing matters.
Nothing will last without heart.
But have heart, have love, have care, and everything will thrive.
And survive.
Everyone will have a fair chance at life.
How can anyone really sleep well at night, knowing others have been left out?
Much better to create ideas at night or day knowing everyone's included.
Leave no man, woman, child, animal, fish, tree, or ocean out and you'll be just fine.
It's always about intentions.
And that's the best principle.
How much do you really care?
That's the only question that matters.
I care.
And that's why I'm writing this.
It's all first hand for me.
What is your own experience with banks?
What is your own experience with bitcoin?
Or any other digital currency?
