“It’s hard with the world in your face. Try to hold on!”
— Bon Jovi
I made the mistake of glancing at Bitcoin headlines in the mainstream news today. The propaganda machine is hard at it, spreading as much fear as possible.
I hate to admit it, but it scared me.
And so, the jukebox in my head offered up this song. I hope it helps you, if you need a pick-me-up right now. Whatever you believe in, don’t let anyone else take your dream away.
Keep the Faith
What’s your dream?
We all have our crypto dreams. My dream is for my partner to be able to be at home, instead of having to work away for two weeks at a time. I want our family to be together. Yes, I might be getting choked up writing this.
I'm grateful for what we have, and I want to see our quality of life improve.
For some people, the crypto dream is about sheer survival.
Whatever your dream is, no matter what “they” throw at us, may we keep the faith.
I’ve been outraged at the oppression rampant in the world for my whole life, and I’ve never been so excited about anything as a possibility to disrupt the corruption as I am now.
And yeah, it makes sense that they’re trying to break it down. This is the biggest threat to the status quo…
As the market crashes, and money stress gets tighter in my family (and many others), I have to keep looking long term. I have to believe in this collective dream we have of changing the world.
I do believe. This too shall pass.
We shall evolve as a human race…
And I think it’s time for some Aerosmith. (Yes, there is almost always music in my head.)
Dream On
Why do I have faith in cryptocurrency, and in the blockchain?
- Because this technology encourages transparency and innovation in a world that has been overrun with broken systems.
- Because there are enough people worldwide who want this to work, who are dedicating their lives to realizing the possibilities the blockchain can unlock.
- Because as a world, we need this. We need change. We need opportunites for everyone to succeed.
- Because Steemit has been such a positive force in my life since I’ve joined.
Steemit my be one small piece in the puzzle of emancipation, but it’s been a hugely positive thing for me. The friends I’ve made in the last month have brought so much joy and laughter into my life. Thank you so much, everyone! Seriously, you're making all the difference right now.
Yes, for me this is about emancipation. I have high hopes for the world. (If you’re pessimistic, keep your thoughts to yourself and leave me to my optimism, thank you very much.)
I’m not super tech. I’m still a beginner at this crypto stuff. But I see the genius behind it, I feel the collective excitement, and I’m happy to keep feeding it.
This is real. Perspective is everything, and I’ll stay as positive as possible while trying to deal with reality as it evolves. I’m in this for the long haul.
Live for yourself. Live your dream.
I’m gonna drop one more video here, because I need a reminder that I’m not living this life for anyone else. It’s mine. I’ll think the way I choose, live the way I want.
It’s My Life.
I could honestly use some supportive, positive voices right now, so if you want to share your crypto dream in the comments below, or just let me know you’re here, that we’re in this together, I’d love to hear from you.
My very best to you and your loved ones.
Take care of yourself. You are a gift!
Peace. @katrina-ariel
