There is an amazing situation happening right now.
We are seeing, simultaneously, the world getting better...and getting worse.
On one hand, every statistic over the last 20 years tells us life is getting better in terms of the global poverty rate and human longevity. We are living longer and less people are stuck in dire poverty. The number of violent crimes are down while those killed in war dropped a great deal in the past 50 years. Infant deaths along with childhood diseases are on the decline.
All of these are great breakthroughs.
There is a down side. The discourse in our society is more polarized that any time I can remember. In most western countries, the middle class is disappearing. While the number of people in dire poverty is declining, those who are falling into the Western standards is growing. Addiction to drugs, mostly those prescribed by a doctor, is going through the roof. Their rate is only matched by the increase in debt levels. Governments, businesses, and individuals keep taking on more debt. This causes many to worry about the system collapsing.
The fact that the present system is deteriorating before us is a good thing in my opinion. To erect the new, we need to clear out the old.
My research into the shifts we are going to be experiencing tell me this is all part of the program. We are moving out of an era that was based upon the hierarchical, male dominated way of doing things. Fighting, in all its' forms, was the primary method. The violence in our society is very obvious. War analogies are used in sports, politics, and business. Everyone is intent on conquering.
The new era is going to see a lot of the existing system destroyed. It simply cannot exist. Energetically it cannot operate. It is in direct opposition to how the world is going to be.
Technology is one of the main characteristics of this shift. While many debate when the new period started (if it even did), the main thing to understand is we are transitioning. This process could take a couple hundred years to fully evolve. However, one thing we are going to notice is the move towards organization that are non-hierarchical.
I am such a believer in cryptocurrency and blockchain because it is all part of the larger paradigm shift I studied for the last decade. What we are seeing was written down thousands of years ago. This is not new stuff. The world is presently living under the control of a few since we have a "pyramid" system in place. The few on top control the many on the bottom.
The monetary system is at the core of this. It is what enables the idea of scarcity to exist. This is not natural. The universe actually is an abundant entity. Take energy for example. Oil and other fossil fuels are finite. Yet, the sun provides enough energy on a daily basis to power the planet many times over. Energy is abundant; we just live in a system of scarcity.
Food is the same way. There is more than enough food on the planet to feed everyone. The reason why there is starvation is it is not distributed to all. I once read that Americans throw out 25% of the food they purchase. Yet the media wants to claim there is not enough.
Cryptocurrency is teaching people a very valuable lesson: the one of money. Many ask how can cryptocurrency have any value since it is "made up"? Exactly. All money is made up; the Central Banks create it out of thin air. The difference is that cryptocurrency goes from creation to an individual as opposed to fiat, which goes to a bank before getting into people's hands in the form of debt.
There is an esoteric battle going on that few look at. I believe the elites who are in charge are well aware of these powers. For this reason, they also understand their time is ending. None of this information is a great secret. They did a masterful job keeping it from the masses throughout history. Yet, the time for change is upon us. Cryptocurrency is just one item in a long list of technologies that we are going to transform our society. By doing this, we are also going to be able to tap into powers within ourselves that we did not know existed.
One of the reasons people are so lost is they do not have time to research, go within, and learn what they can do. Instead, we are stuck on a treadmill of working ourselves to the bone to enrich someone else. This is the system they set up for us. We are continually taught to fight, "to never give up". Sadly, the fight never ends.
I am one of the most bullish people in the world about STEEM because it fits perfectly within the paradigm that is being created. STEEM will not be the only one. In fact, there are going to be thousands upon thousands of different blockchains that give people the opportunity to earn rewards. When I write about the Age of Abundance, I am not kidding. There are going to be tokens all over the place creating wealth for people.
This throws a lot of people who hang onto the old models that they were taught. It is important to not overlook the fact that much of what we know about economics, finance, and politics was designed by those who are enslaving us. They are all intellectual exercises that support scarcity and the world we live in. It creates fear of an alternative paradigm because that would mean loss of control. So they paralyze the population with thoughts of dire consequences if there is a shift.
The lessons of the Internet are very clear. Any industry that it enters results in two things: Abundance and the destruction of the existing entities. We saw this with information purveyors (newspapers, magazines), record companies (16 years of losing money on their recorded music), video rental companies (Blockbuster/Movie Gallery), and communications (how is AT&T long distance division doing these days?).
We now see the Internet coming to money. The new era will not exist with a world run by bankers. Quite simply, they have to be destroyed. The energy that is coming out of people in the form of ideas is going to amaze the world over the next decade. This is the true revolution. The power of blockchain and cryptocurrency is decentralization. The centralized structures are going to crumble like a building in an earthquake. We already see many of the bankers showing their concern.
Some of this might see far-fetched. If that is the case, do some digging; take a look around you. Look what is starting to happen. There are thousands of different examples of this shift taking place right before our eyes. There are so many entities that are makes moves today that really amount to nothing more than just trying to hang on. They are antiquated yet do not know it.
If one is willing to do this, then all fear fades away. The tokenized world is one of the first steps in a multi-tiered process that is going to unleash humanity from the bonds of the scarcity model. The world is about to experience growth that it never envisioned. We will see the other half of the world population come online in the next 10 years. At that point, the true power of humanity will be revealed.
One person with an idea and the means can change the world. Picture what that world will look like when 7B-8B have that ability.
That is the Age of Abundance.
