During the pandemic, while governments and the world's elite were legitimately terrified at first, they also saw it as an opportunity to see how the masses respond to something unprecedented in the information age. Some of us in those masses, however, saw the pandemic as an opportunity to spend some of that extra time focusing on what we truly want in life. No longer caught up in the busy-ness of going all the time to serve the interests of employers, we had time to reflect, even why those in power attempted to gaslight us all into believing that we could "all just go back to normal" when this ends, where "normal" is the status quo that deeply served their interests.

I had been invested in the stock market for some time, and rather minimally. I have long been "on the margins" of society in terms of worldview, and I have long held a commitment to trying to make the world a more ethical place. But during the pandemic, I had more time to ponder such things practically. That is when I turned to crypto, as so many others have as well. And this is certainly not the kind of thing those elites saw coming. Cryptocurrency is literally and most powerfully not going back to business as usual. It is transforming and/or overturning business as usual in ways that the "old money" decrepit elite could not have imagined.

Cryptocurrencies, in terms of wealth production and opportunities for entrepreneurship and economic empowerment, also provide a means to make the world a more ethical place, based on freedom and equality. Giving to others is more feasible when one is not busy counting one's own dollars. Educating others about the power of cryptocurrencies is a directly practical way to help others so that they can help themselves. 

The gaslighting did not work. Things will never be that "normal" for the elites again. Especially not when "the masses" include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Ripple, Litecoin, etc. in their vocabularies.
