Transforming Farmers into an Innovative Trading Ecosystem
Imagine if farmers could become part of a successful and innovative trading ecosystem. With stronger capital and broader insights, they could return to farming to enhance crop yields and innovate in the fields. Not only that, but they could also inspire the world through creative content. Sounds impossible, right? Especially since most farmers today are elderly and this idea might never have crossed their minds. However, I'm talking about the younger generation—our younger siblings, our children, even our generation who are still open to growth.
Let me start from the beginning.
I live in a remote village in Indonesia, born into a farming family. Now, at the age of 38, I still feel like a child because of my slow development. I once ventured to the city and other islands seeking experience but had to return because I am the youngest child who must care for my parents. I had to start over from scratch.
As an adult, I observe life around me. I realize that farming alone is not enough to make ends meet, especially with the traditional methods my parents use. The market traders' manipulations are very detrimental, and I cannot see a future in farming this way. Although I enjoy farming, the minimal yields are disappointing.
I turned to the internet for alternatives and realized that our mindset is too narrow. Consequently, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.
I once tried to be a hero by creating a concept to maximize the village's potential to increase income. I gathered people and initiated activities I thought would be sustainable. However, my good intentions were perceived as a threat by the dominant groups in the village. They saw me as a disturbance to their existence, and eventually, I was "eliminated" in a subtle way. Even in religious contexts, I found such dominance, seemingly protecting an outdated and rigid system. I chose to withdraw and focus on myself.
The time and energy spent felt wasted, but I consider it a maturing process. My beloved village seems stuck in the old system. My decision to withdraw made me unpopular, but I accepted it as a consequence.
I built my family within economic constraints but kept thinking about how to break this cycle. I discussed wealth-building strategies with my family because I had no one else to talk to. I'm grateful for their unwavering support.
My parents are not large landowners, so I focus on other ways to live. The debt phenomenon around me, which I also fell into, made me realize the rotten system we are trapped in. The meager income of farmers can't keep up with rising needs. Farmers, the true heroes who produce real food, should earn more.
I dreamed of a system that financially supports farmers, allowing them to focus solely on farming. I found that wealthy people's assets work even while they sleep. Finance and investment are integral parts of a wealthy lifestyle, which is why we remain poor.
With a poor internet connection, I learned about trading and cryptocurrency—things entirely unrelated to my life history. Despite its bad reputation as gambling, I studied trading because of its potential if handled correctly. I also studied crypto, often dismissed as unclear, because its principles could bring justice and transparency.
After 10 months of hard study and real market attempts with many failures, I began to understand trading psychology and the unique technology of crypto. This platform allows me to share my ideas because I have started implementing them.
The concept of combining agriculture, trading, and crypto technology is intriguing. I have begun this journey and am grateful for my supportive family who brings joy and freedom despite financial limitations.
Conclusion
This is just the beginning. In my next article, I will detail how we can integrate agriculture, trading, and crypto technology into a sustainable and innovative ecosystem. Stay tuned, as I will discuss concrete steps to realize this vision. The journey has just begun, and your support is invaluable.
