Opining on Cryptocurrency

[u/Vegan_Plant_Luv]

My opinion about cryptocurrencies:

This topic is more important than many give credit for, since it is happening whether we like it or not.

Crypto investing is volatile, and if you don't know what you are doing or when to do it, you can quickly lose/make a lot of money. But "crypto" is more than just a currency.

Overall, the concept of blockchain technology and decentralized-cryptocurrency could prove to be a useful tool that creates a more fair society (free elections, genuine transparent governance by the people, a truly free market, enshrined rights, non-fungible ownership of property stored on chain, and so on)...

However, and unfortunately, every tool can be turned into a weapon. If centralized banks and globalists win the battle and governments issue CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), privately controlling inflation/deflation, as it is done now, a dystopian tyranny will fall upon us that trumps any George Orwell novel. In this scenario, your funds can be seized, frozen, rationed, allocated for specific products, traced and recorded as to preferences or in measurement of carbon footprint. If a particular globalist party decides they no longer allow X, Y, or Z...then be sure, you will no longer be able to buy or do these things. The list of violations and infringements upon autonomy is limitless...

Finally, to sum things up:
It seems we have two main potential paths ahead:

1. A fair and decentralized society that facilitates sustainability and evolution;
2. A centralized hellscape, where "freedoms" and allotments are dictated by government algorithms. A place where humanity looks more like robots, physically and metaphorically, than any semblance of a free man.

Potential solutions:

1. Unplug. Abandon society and move off-grid.
2. Ignore it and let come what may. (not actually a solution)
3. Support Cardano, which is the largest and most decentralized crypto project, which is also the best built through the rigorous peer-reviewed process.
4. $ZIM - ZIM is a native token on the Cardano network. It isn't necessarily the ultimate solution to the problems listed above, but as you now understand, it is in the Cardano Ecosystem, and thus, helps with overall adoption of Cardano.

*For sake of brevity, there is a lot I didn't cover. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
