Cryptocurrency in a nutshell for me has been nothing short of fascinating. This revolutionary idea that was created by a mystery person or persons named Satoshi Nakamoto has contributed something to humanity that the world presumably has never seen. I was introduced to cryptocurrency a few years back and I didn't take it serious as I should've, hindsight is 20/20. The chance to write a blog on this blockchain can only be seemingly possible thanks to blockchain technology. I feel as if I'm also participating in history because this very information that I'm typing will remain on this blockchain as long as the internet and blockchain technology exists. From what I'm learning this blockchain is immutable and cannot be hacked. That is incredible. These concepts of decentralization, trust-less systems, smart contracts, peer to peer, nodes etc are terms that encompass the crypto culture among many other terms that are out there. They say that crypto is the wave of the future and it looks like it really is the wave of the future. Old legacy systems, banking and governmental structures are at risk facing the likes of a revolutionary economic model that's unheard of because crypto is removing the power from those legacy systems and oligarchs to then transfer the power to the people that those systems essentially control. That is powerful, very powerful. These are exciting times. I'm not a trader or someone who likes to speculate on BTC or altcoins but people are surmising that the market may very well be at it's bottom and will turn to a bull market. I'm not to concerned with the short term gains as such. I'm more interested in how crypto will enhance quality of life for all who are involved and everyone in general. BTC was designed for everyone to utilize even though there will only be 21 million ever created. It's available to all. it's not about socioeconomic status or caste systems. It's about redistributing wealth from the elitists, banking institutions and governments to the people. Creating crypto infrastructure, decentralized applications, and smart contracts to name a few are being utilized to solve problems and to reduce third party involvement which introduces a certain level of sovereignty to the fold. Becoming the owner of your own assets if you will. Becoming your own bank by owning your private keys and keeping your crypto in wallets or cold storage is a requirement to upholding your freedom. I guess that's what it's all about. Freedom.
