Price, Profit, BOOM, Bubble.
I have been a small user of a lot of different crypto currencies and tokens for several years. The price talk has gotten almost gotten to the point of making me not want to talk about them any more.
When someone asks you about bitcoin/etheruem/cardano and why you buy it, maybe we should instead of telling them we are holding as a speculative investment, we can discuss with them that I am supporting the type of world that I want to live in. That money should be open, decentralized and that we can send out money to any one in the world and have it be recognized for its own value.
That Etheruem/Cardano/EOS are a completely new way to think about how the web and programming work. With Tokenization we can build better communities and create and trade value outside of single corporate entity.
We should be demanding more and participating, bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are currently TINY. There is any estimated 32 TRILLION USD dollars hidden away in off shore tax havens. Bitcoin is about that we don't want to play this game anymore, where game were deflation takes from the poor and gives it to rich in terms in interest.
I hold bitcoin because it costs work to make, and the dollar is created by banks adding zeros in computers. The value of bitcoins in terms of USD dollars is just showing the very tiny cracks in the system.
Buy, Spend, and Use bitcoin and request to be paid in bitcoin.
Bitcoin might raise and fall in the span of the day, but the USD falls in value every day to the toon of 2-3% a year. Lets talk about the Value to us, instead of the value of USD dollars.
I couldn't agree more. I like easy money, but that's not why I've invested in these technologies. Decentralization is going to create a more egalitarian world. We've let our corporate overlords have too much control and the best remedy is crypto-currencies.
I have made it a personal mission to discuss the values with anyone that asks me about them instead of their value compared to the USD. I had a friend of mine that got the shift card where he could spend his bitcoin with a debit card. However he found that he would not want to spend it because he valued his bitcoin more than the random stuff at the store. Pretty good perspective there :)
I think this is spot on. The value is in the use. Great content!
