This is the Abundance Economy, different from the scarcity economy which is most of the modern world.
The scarcity economy is a zero sum game, meaning your earnings are my losses.
But here in the abundance economy it is different.
Tokens are created daily and populate the reward pool, and then are distributed by way of upvotes.
My upvotes for you result in earnings for you, and earnings for me.
Money for you, and money for me.
Your earnings don't come from my wallet, they come from the reward pool.
It's not a scarcity economy with a zero sum game in which earnings for you are losses for me.
It's abundance economy, in which earnings for you can be earnings for me.
No matter how many times I try to explain this...
... people still scratch their heads and seem unable to grasp it.
But now you get part of it, the earnings part, and the abundance part for sure.
Thank you Sir. This was a full lecture in itself. It's boosting my understanding of how Hive works.
