# Hello steemians!! 

How yall doing, how ya feeling the crypto market :D

Makes you wanna rip it all apart and kick them bitmex and futures traders out for spoiling the fun right? Well, that's what people say anyway, there must be an outlet, a victim as to why the price keeps falling, and no better people to blame than the futures traders. 

Can futures trading be bad long term for crypto? We'll have to wait to find out, but in the mean time, something else got my attention.

In all the years I have spent on this planet, I have not seen one more powerful that he/she who seeks information and knowledge.

Think about it, those who seek knowledge are those who know what they are looking for. Its long since been confirmed that the more knowledge one possesses, the more powerful he/she is.

Its great really, knowledge doesn't just comprise of what we read in books of cause, but also of experiences, what people tell us and so much more.

For me, knowledge is power, the more information you know about a certain person or situation , the more power you have over the said person/situation. 

Perhaps that's why one of the 48 rules of power is to be **unpredictable**. Then a person knows you not, when a person cannot know what you'll do next, you rob them of the control they have over you.

Same can be said about the workplace. An individual may work at a place for 5 years, and still remain in one spot, knowing nothing if he/she isn't committed to learning the ethics and ways the office operates, on the other hand, another individual may have worked there for far shorter, but already absorbed the ethics and ways of the workplace, knowing what to do to advance, knowing what and what is needed to be done to advance to the next level.

All in all, it is important that we get information, knowledge about whatever situation we find ourselves in.
