We all know the present system is absurd.  Yet it strikes me as odd that people who realize this actually defend it.  They won't do it in overt ways yet you see their belief system start to creep through.  

It is imperative that everyone understand that, no matter what your beliefs are, 90% of them were programmed into you.  Unless one took the time to analyze what one believes, one by one, the odds are we simply are a product of our environment.  

This is by design.  When we look at long term trends, we realize what was done to humanity.  Over the last 100 years, the middle class was wiped out.   During the same period, the educational system kept pushing us to moron level.  The subliminal messenging received only got stronger.  Our family, friends, and co-workers all were part of this without being aware.  We, too, keep passing on the message.

I see it all around me.  Whenever discussing most anything, the truth comes out.  People are just mindless puppets.  They really have no clue what is going on.  They spout off a couple headlines they heard that align with their belief system and point to that as fact.  

It is an amazing place to be able to witness this.  I feel as if we were let in on the secret while everyone else is completely asleep.  Of course, the "secret" is in plain sight.  The elite are very arrogant.  They are open about most everything.  Or perhaps it isn't arrogance, they just understand that people are clueless.

Anyone on Hive for more than a few weeks quickly realizes there is another solution brewing.  Yet the reality of what I am writing about occurs when trying to tell others about it.  It is like talking to a wall.  [Cryptocurrency](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/cryptocurrency) is a [fraud](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-fraud)?  Really?  So you feel Jamie Dimon is an honest source of information?  [Bitcoin](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-bitcoin) has no value and is made up?  Really?  Please share with me the intrinsic value of the [U.S. dollar](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-u-s-dollar). 

Those defending the system are going to get run over by it.  Technological unemployment is a real thing.  The entire global [economy](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-economy) is shifting yet few are paying attention.  They only realize the [jobs](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-job) are going...after they are gone.  I mean seriously, does anyone need to read more than a handful of articles about 3D printing to realize that it will obliterate what is left of the manufacturing jobs?  

How about this video/story?

http://abc7news.com/food/worlds-first-robot-made-burger-to-debut-in-sf/3659185/

How long until every burger joint in the world gets one of them?  I know, it allows people to handle more customer interaction jobs.  That is the corporate mantra today.  Ironic, one of the jobs is processing the orders as they come in via an IPhone [app](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-application).  How long until that is tied directly into the machine itself?

I love the technological advancement and believe it is going to be great for humanity.  Most of the work we do is pointless, senseless, non-fulfilling, and a step above slavery.  Every study that looked at the last 20 years shows the 97% are getting less of the pie while the select few at the top ([Warren Buffett](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-warren-buffett) and Dimon for example), are raking in more.  

[Technology](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-technology) could allow for people to benefit without toiling away at a pointless job.  This is going to happen.  The pointless jobs will be gone.  Of course, as the system is erected now, the few will [profit](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-profit) while the rest will suffer.  Yet people still defend this system.

Fortunately, we are on the secret right now.  Crypto-economics is changing all of this.  We are in the very early stages, but we are starting to see a shift in the mindset.  The collective awareness is seeding on Hive.  This is a beginning.  For too long, the elites used divide and conquer.  We can see this in the media each day if we would tune in.  This allowed them to isolate individuals which puts them at the mercy of the system.

Crypto-economics is about freedom....freedom for humanity.  We are only beginning to understand the collective power we are yielding.  Hive is growing by leaps and bounds because of the collective efforts on here.  We are all dependent upon the value of this [ecosystem](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-ecosystem-digital) growing.  And this is done by our collective contributions.  

The mistake most people make when looking at this is to view crypto-economics from a [financial](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-finance) position.  In my mind, this gives a mistaken view.  It is why we see articles where people welcome [regulation](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-regulation).  Are you kidding me?  You want to invite the [government](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-government) in?  You think turning to them is a good thing?  Oh I know, that will allow the [financial institutions](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-financial-institution) to bring their [money](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-money).  Wait, when has Wall Street proven they are a benefit?  Aren't they behind the entire system as it is?

Bear in mind, I believe that we are going to see regulation since we can't avoid it.  But make no mistake, having the wolf in the henhouse is not a good thing.

Nevertheless, that is the financial point of view.  Crypto-economics is not financially based but technologically.  That puts it on an entirely new footing.  That is why Wall Street is really unnecessary, contrary to the beliefs of many.  If Wall Street did not put a dime into this arena, it would keep growing dramatically.  Yes Wall Street will make the early adopters extremely well off financially since they will send things skyrocketing.  Yet, for the most part, the technology will grow regardless of what they do.

To believe that crypto-economics needs Wall Street's money is to defend the old system.  Why do we need their fiat?  Crypto-economics is a self-funding mechanism.  We learned the secret.  Money is created out of thin air and build value to it.  Now we have the ability to do the same.  We create our own money.  

But that money is worthless unless people buy it with their [fiat currency](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-fiat-currency).  That is, unless we create the value.

So let me get this straight.  Cryptocurrency is worthless unless a bunch of people give it value by buying it using fiat that many claim is going to be worthless?

Do you see the absurdity of this thinking?

Make no mistake.  The wolves of [Wall Street](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-wall-street) will be in cryptocurrency within the next year.  And it will be a wild party.  They will [moon](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-mooning) anything that is somewhat legitimate.  Hell, they will even moon the scams.  They do not care.  There will be great wealth created for many, including most on here. Of course, they will pull the plug at some point which will eradicate a great deal of that [wealth](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-wealth).

Fortunately, the technology will keep progressing and that is there the value comes from.  The [Internet](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-internet) is valuable today not because Wall Street ran the [stocks](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-stocks) up by buying everything with .com in the name.  In fact, they probably made life harder.  The Internet is so valuable because the technology changed the path of humanity.

Crypto-economics is doing the same thing.  It isn't the Wall Street casino that is going to make the difference but the development and input of hundreds of millions of people.  This can be summed up in the idea of the [network effect](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-network-effect).

This will accelerate the more people see the absurdity in the present system.

Edit: Many of the forecasts in this article came true.  Wall Street entered in full force, creating a couple [bull](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-bull-market) and [bear markets](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-bear-market).  The latest was kicked off by the same schemes [investment banks](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-what-are-investment-banks) and other money players.

The actions of companies like [FTX](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-ftx), Celsius, and [exchanges](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-exchange) showed how cryptocurrency was just another [asset](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-asset) that got manipulated by the financial crowd.  We saw the tenets of cryptocurrency erased and the greed take over.

Everyone should have learned the lesson of 2022: [not your keys, not your crypto](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-not-your-keys-not-your-crypto).
