How it Began...
Hahahahahah As I wrote the title just now, I began to laugh. Actually, I am still laughing because I have allowed Satoshi Nakamoto to literally transform my frame of thought regarding wealth. I literally knew nothing about bitcoin several years ago but heard of it back in 2013 and obviously living in Barbados not many people here had heard of it either and therefore they were spitting words like SCAAAAMMM run away immediately. Anyway, suffice it to say I ended with about 5 bitcoins when they were about 50.00 may be? I honestly can't remember I try not to remember because I got rid of them because I allowed the naysayers to get to me. Hahahahahaha I literally cried for a few years when bitcoin blew up. I really felt sad. Guys, I would have been balling with 5 bitcoin but may be that is why I didn't keep cause somewhere there the God above knew I would become and ego maniac (cackles and pops). I think I bought those 5 bitcoins with money that I actually did not have, it was probably grocery money too...
I mean how far will we go to be wealthy. Thing is, since I missed the bitcoin train I have essentially been playing catch up and so have the scammers. They are out in their hundreds of thousands. I literally went offline for awhile because of the scammers. All you had to do was to mention bitcoin and these leeches and blood sucking ticks would just appear and they will present to you the most appealing offers like 5% daily. My my I was stupid back in 2014 - 2016
Lessons Learned
However, lessons have been learned and I will say this. Substantial money is not earned overnight and it takes money to earn more money. Investment is risky and some of it depends on being in the right place at the right time. The online marketers are very good at their jobs and they appeal to our sense of greed and we give in to the hype and then comes the fall. They talk about abandoning the 9-5 but that is so much folly. Fact is that not everyone is cut out for entrepreneurship in legitimate business or scamming. I prefer the morally and legally correct side of 9-5.
Crypto was designed to deal with a number of issues but as you see it does not solve the problem of greed as that is a human factor. However crypto and blockchain is definitely the way to go and after removing the FUD some real good can happen. What I also remembered saying back then, that crypto may be for the average person, but I knew those who had resources would infiltrate and change the dynamics of the game. However, crypto has made many people rich but in many cases they have become very similar to the traditionalists in their new found wealth.
The war of economics and tokenomics will continue to wage on long after I am receiving pension and poverty will continue to increase because the bitcoin life is just another name for the rich will get richer and the poor will become poorer. Live a life of contentment and don't ever love money in any form and don't ever chase it.
