The current state of the world, be it

  • Central Governments
  • Central Banks
  • Federal Reserve
  • Massive Corporate Conglomerates (Monsanto, Big Pharma, Big Oil)

Are playing games at the world's expense. Where regular people, born into this world, were unknowingly handed a shitty hand unjustly.

Throughout history, we have seen that centralization and coagulation of power to a few individuals have turned awry and led to the collapse of society every single time.

However, the human mind, when left to it's own devices, crowded around like-minded crooks, will allow greed and the lust for power to seep in till the point of normalization.

Though there should be much anger and outcry from the public of how individuals are being pushed around, this has been the reoccurring situation time and time again as any historian will tell you.

However, there should not be despair, because for once, humanity has the opportunity to break this cycle of coagulation of power and eventually collapse. For I believe the revolutionary nature of the Blockchain Technology to decentralize and counteract this phenomenon that has plagued humanity for centuries to come to an end.

To usher in an era of true, individual sovereignty, resistant to centralization and coagulation of power.

I believe the Blockchain solutions that will do so are here, and the fire is being kindled as big corporation and government snigger at the idea, whilst not truly understand it's immense capabilities.

Not even looking into the future, right this moment.

If I were to choose to no longer hold or utilize fiat currencies, though, with mild inconvenience, I have full capability of doing so.

If I were to choose to no longer invest assets, commodities or bonds, I have ripe opportunities all around to invest my funds in a massive array of innovative solutions of which I will definitely find one which interest and excites me, and also be wildly profitable.

I believe this is just the beginning, It has been just 9 short years since Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin Whitepaper and sparked the entire Blockchain Revolution. Blockchain Technology is not even in puberty yet. There is much to be done, and much that is already being done, and I am excited just talking about it.

My point is this. This train of thought that we have here, of centralized powers being crooks and we as sovereign individuals need to combat them is no new train of thought.

It has occurred billions if not trillions of times all throughout humanity. With every occasion a uprisal occurs, many deaths occur, win or lose, things go back to the way they were eventually.

We live in an awesome and amazing time, where I believe, for the very first time, with the use of Blockchain Technology, we may have a Peaceful means, through technological disruption to put an end to the humanity's age old curse of death and rebirth.

Blockchain Technology.

Bitopia mission here on Steemit, is to bring this fact to as many sovereign individuals, about the truth of our unknowing enslavement, the means of breaking the chains, and to aid in the charge of this Peaceful yet absolutely disruptive Blockchain Revolution.

That is my sole mission, and I would urge anyone who shares similar sentiments to participate in this awesome time and effort.

God Speed Brethren.

I agree that blockchain is yet another black swan much like the internet has been too. How to you propose that the blockchain be secured as it is absolutely dependent upon electricity, hardware, telecommunication platforms, corporations and governments to keep it running and available? Would the people be able to re-establish the infrastructure should that infrastructure be attacked by the very organizations that currently built it? Would the crazy people do something to shut it all down should they feel that their control has been lost? I think they would try. Despite the fact that the Internet was designed to withstand a thermo-nuclear war, it would still be devastating if they turn off the switch and watched everyone perish because we forgot to take care of the basics first - self sufficiency for all our basic physical needs. Any thoughts on these vulnerabilities?

I'd say, just like the internet, blockchain tech is relatively immutable. Cryptobugs are notoriously the most conspiracy driven community, that is why they are firstly so passionate about the technology, and secondly early adopters in a wildly speculative and volatile market.

Off-The-Grid infrastructure for mining operations outside of government's notice, I believe, with no relevant evidence however, have been and will continue to be built. Infrastructure where the energy is generated and internet connectivity is completely sovereign.

There are solutions being built such that Bitcoins may be sent via fax through radio waves completely negating the need for many of the main infrastructure that we use to transact in cryptos right now. The added functionality and ease is more a luxury, the base use is still immutable.

My opinion on the matter is rather bleak. Those who are unprepared in such a scenario will either suffer enslavement or perish. It is as simple as that.

On the flip side, I do believe the community of preppers are growing at an exponential rate and that when the time comes, there will be many who will be prepared.

My opinion on the matter is rather bleak as well. I really do believe that billions will die because we refused to address these issues and are so hopelessly dependent upon the infrastructure that was built that most people lake the skills, knowledge, experience, tools, resources, etc to deal with any failure. I agree that those who are taking action is growing and hence the purpose of my own blog and this question. Thank you for responding. I do agree that there are ways around our dependency on the internet, power and corporate infrastructure. I'm glad that this came out in this conversation. Bravo.

That will be the case if the system collapses for sure, which is absolutely far from a possibility. Humanity scaled too quickly too fast, and many will suffer.

People tend to forget that what we are experiencing right now is far for normal and has never been the way things have ever been. If we look at humanity from the top down, as a organism as a whole, there is unsustainable activity at every corner. We are living at odds with nature, all while ignoring the fact that we are a part of nature.

When the time comes, the human organism will contract, and it will hurt. We either learn from it, and grow a more sustainable future, or doom ourselves to see it happen again.

I agree with you. <3
