### How dire does the world need the clutches of fiat and central banking off its back??
#
In the year 2017, we are only just now about to reach the 6th month of what already has been a super volatile moment in human history. Banks are sucking up people's wealth at rates every citizen of the world should face. From the issues in Venezuela, the near impoverished once great country of Italy, and to constant heads of states clashing over non stop pace, the need for mature citizens of this great planet Earth may need to take heed at the directions we are allowing ourselves to travel.

Who is truly to blame for this constant state of an idiotic downward spiral? I suspect some elite groups. A bunch of imprisoned governments held captive by some elite hidden powers ultimately hold control over them. Most sadly, we as citizens also have a hand in the current situation..though a small one but you and I have been for years of sensing a problem but not really doing much about it. Our hand in this though is more innocent, probably due to the false information the media proclaims to us and making us believe everything is always fine when in reality its not. I seriously sense the media has turned its eye blind to the very obvious nature of the beast and just letting it build up constantly towards a point of no return.

### The Joshua Tree
#
There is a bit of biblical reasons why early immigrants who traveled out into the harsh west of the United States named the tree sitting in the middle of the western deserts a Joshua Tree. For them they saw an environment so desolate and dead that they pictured this magnificent organism as a miracle onto itself for surviving and actually thriving in such a dry and sobering place as its found living. Some even point out how it reaches for the sky like hands in prayer, like the biblical Joshua did in scripture. I am no religious man here but I can respect the belief and need in reaching out for help sometimes to a higher power and can see what our ancestors probably first saw when they stumbled upon one of these desert dwellers standing tall and proud as if nothing can break its harmony.

For me though, tonight I ponder something a bit deeper about the Joshua Tree. For me where our ancestors seen this man Joshua in its roots, I can almost see our great friend the Crypto-Currency movement flowing through its veins. In a desert world economy full of corrupted fiat, we can almost now envision that as a harsh bitter desert that can brake any man of this world to his knees. A desert of war, a desert of corrupted power, and sadly a system so dry of life that could take over the roots we place in our children and continue a pattern of desolation for their lives and their children's lives. This is not some words jotted down on a social blog sadly, all around us this is becoming the true nasty reality of the world we built and curate together.

In the middle of this mess is this new technology and tool that can be used to correct the problems in this world. If handled right, and put into place as a movement to take charge of the situation. Crypto-Currency is that thriving tree in this dust bowl of problems, it can wake the citizens up of the world to realize they can for once earn enough value for what they put into the world, it can harbor a safe haven for those bombarded by Central Banking systems that have no positive influences on their lives, and hopefully at end stage it will bring back freedom to Governments of the world to actually govern versus be an entity of pocket picking manipulators who don't protect its citizens anymore.

### So how can we turn this around?? What can I do?
#
The answer is simple, move into Crypto. Use it, show them that this is where you find value, turn your back on their fledgling systems of evil and warring corruptions. Crypto-Currency is our last ditch effort for peaceful change, we have to uphold this and not let it as well become corrupted so we must hold every last crypto project accountable to hold their ground and provide the positive changes in this world.

Lets be a community of Joshua Trees standing far from an oasis of the desert, be united and strong and survive the coming issues that will most likely continue till we get a grip on this broken system around us. I hope we all provide a wealth of positive change for ourselves and for our children. To me all of you that hold crypto and just simply believe in it for the real movement it can be are heros in my eyes, real honorable fighters for freedom and I commend everyone for the peaceful war with Crypto you're raising daily.
