Let's face it, if you are reading this on Leo Finance odds are you are built different and you are already familiar with web3. I mean, you are blogging and consuming content on an obscure, digital money-generating, anti-establishment fighting, pseudo-anarchy supporting, deep-web-money-laundering relating, taxation-is-theft promulgating, inflation-kills-economies believing, conspiracy-theories accepting, self-definition living, off-grid-mentality acquiring, revolutionary-mindset thinking, ecosystem.
The average Joe is not like this, they enjoy living simple lives and not having to worry about what is going on in the big picture. They don't even realize they are losing money through inflation and trying to explain this to them will only make them perceive you as a conspiracy theory looney.
But what can you do? I've had several friends tell me that they want to give me money for me to invest it for them in this crypto world they don't understand. Everyone loves money, all of them want to make money but if they can just give it to someone else to make them money and they just pay a fee then that's the perfect scenario for them.
But the reason I don't take their money is because the real fight against the system comes from the average Joe learning about the countless ways the system fucks over them every single day, and it takes each and every one of us to get involved in this fight. That involves financial literacy that leads to financial freedom.
But the average Joe prefers the blue pill and just make some money while continuing with their simple life.
That's not the way we will change the status quo and flip the table.
But one step at a time, we can't expect people who don't understand taxes to out of the blue research how the federal reserve, the banks and the elites steal money from all of us on a daily basis.
But what if Alternative investments strategies
Once we see a society that gets interested in learning how to make money instead of giving out their money to someone else to make money for them - which is how the central banks created their initial spot in society - will only propagate a new status quo looking to overthrow the existing one but replacing it with something similar, the only difference is that it would be run by someone else.
Look at CEXes. They are doing the very same shady practices that banks have been doing for centuries. Instead of changing the status quo they just want to be the new head of a similar societal structure.
Once we get normal people to learn about finance, the first step is to teach them that diversification is key to preserve wealth.
Everyone wants to be ridiculously wealthy, that's their main drive. They want to ensure the financial security of ten generations of their family but that requires risk, you are not going to get to that position by being conservative, but to take risk in a proper way requires financial literacy.
Educating yourself, understand people out there are going to sell you hot air that's the hardest thing to achieve, you can only count on yourself to become rich.
If I could give some advice for those who want to become rich as fuck it would be:
Getting certified as financial advisor. Partner someone you trust but always continue to educate yourself so you can always understand what are you doing as a team. If you aren't learning to make money, trading by yourself then at least learn enough to understand the one that is giving you advice. The key is maintain that discontent without feeling miserable, ambitious but not greedy.
Get used to losing money, learn to manage emotions and you will be fine.
