Escaping the banking cartel

in #decentralization6 years ago

I was listening to a talk from Andreas Antonopoulos on the banking cartel and as I was listening I started sketching something relevant and this came out, thought I'd share:

More importantly though I wanted to share the video I was watching as I think more people need to see it, especially those living in first world countries as they may be less prepared for something like this than those already experiencing it today. If you haven't heard from Andreas before (who btw happens to have a Steem account but unfortunately not so active: @aantonop) then I really recommend you check out more videos of his as he has been amazing throughout the years of going around and talking about Bitcoin and what decentralization means. His speeches are really amazing and you'll find yourself wanting to listen to more and more.

Some of you on the platform may have noticed my dislike for middlemen and this may very well be one of the big reasons why I don't like them. I'm not saying dapps should not take beneficiaries as that is something that is going to help them grow and maintain, I'm merely talking about middlemen who do not do much for their customers or the blockchain except take a hefty fee. They know who they are.


Sort:  

The first thing pop in my mind about bank is tax and interest. So if decentralization could truly happen to monitory system then we all can get the better share.
If you got time give the sketching a good redrawing, it will be in good use later I think.

The best chance we have to disconnect us from the banking cartel is to support privacy-centric cryptocurrencies and find ways to expand anonymity online. If these people begin expanding their control of the internet it will likely be under the guise of taxation to support 'society', which we've seen how well that is turning out.

Good video.

Your drawing though...should probably be digitally redone. It's actually not a bad design though. Might make a good shirt.

I love Andreas he has a Mediterranean humor like me plus middle men are like the mafia, they want a share for free in italian it is called "pizzo" which is a dialect for "pezzo" or "piece"...piece of that, you know what I mean...just tell them "piss" off that! haha lol

Love your sketch! Upvoted!!

Banking charges are getting ridiculous. I remember a time when banks paid me for using them. What the hell is going on? There's zero interest, and I'm paying for the privilege of effectively lending my money to the bank. Banks are dinosaurs.

Great video thanks for sharing

This is why the traditional institutions continue to disregard and talkdown cryptos despite they themselves investing into the technology. They know the potential it could bring to disrupt their business models.

Whao.... This really so educative about crypto

Banks are nothing but headaches. It's time to start controlling our own money, instead of letting people steal pieces of it.

This reminds me of the Yankees spending WAY more than the allowed amount for players. They just paid the fine and kept on trucking. Cost of doing business is not more than the profit, where is the motivation to not do it.

Yep agree to your opinion


Andreas is great! He often reminds me of the way some Russians tend to think of the banks x government x media.Nice design! Echoing @geekpowered’s comment, it could be a cool T-shirt pattern or a logo.

In a decentralized world, Governance structures, principles, and rules are the functioning economic model of the distribution of rights, responsibilities, and rewards among all the members of a community.
We need to increase the diffusion of knowledge of technologies, associated with a decentralized economy and individual accessibility to the new participatory market as the pillar of Equality and Justice for everyone.
Contributing to social causes is a must for the kind of ideological frame of the people in the communities on the blockchain is ideal for the pursuit of a better world for everybody.

Blockchain Technology and philosophy of decentralization as a generator a more individual self-centered chain of Cultural Power with Social Impact in the way of thinking, organizing, collaborating, and creating through decentralized applications.
Decentralization is an approach for the cultural construction of communities with the underlying principles of social responsibility, negotiation, participation, social justice, love for humanity, and respect and dignity of any human being.
Decentralize all..!!!!
