Hey friends!
Crypto prices are down, oh no!
Who cares, really. I do feel a bit bad for anyone who got burned at the tops and are sitting on losses now. Big changes don't happen overnight, and even if all wealth did transfer to the hands of crypto owners would we really see any changes for the better in society as a whole?
Wealth creation and distribution mechanisms are just a part of the problem, not only do too few own too much of the sum, but society as an aggregate is forced into a growth-based economy and people compete against each other to produce more and more in the present day to the detriment of earth, all its life and inhabitants, and even future generations of humans.
Just got done reading a great book, Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. It's on the philosophical side and succinctly states a lot of ideas about our growth-based societies I've had issues with. I can't recommend it enough.

I also highly recommend Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Sci-fi at its best. I say give it a read before you read anything else about it. Trust me on that.

What about you? What books have you read that you think others would also like to read? Have any must-reads that you'd like to share and recommend? What books do you think help us understand our place in the world, or how we can affect positive change in ourselves or others?
Go for long meditation...... Get up after 2 years.... You will listen only crypto crypto...
Crypto has made so much hype that the whole world follow it.
Your recommendations are really commendable.
