Hey Jessinvestors
In my 3 decades on this planet, I’ve only had 5 years or so of work experience before heading out and doing my own thing, and it’s been good! I wouldn’t say I’m particularly good at being an entrepreneur, nor was I terrific as an employee; to me, it’s pretty much the same concept!
Open up the PC smash a few buttons on the keyboard, and after 22 workdays, you’ll get some numbers in your bank account you can use to feed and clothe yourself.
Hardly riveting stuff there; the modern slave Labour may seem different from our industrial counterparts of the previous generations, but it’s got a lot of similarities too. As an in social or business, your goal is to make money, be it pieces of paper or numbers on a screen.
This so-called currency is what motivates us to get up every day and do tasks throughout the day so that we can pay for our ever expansive and expensive existence.
Work/Labour has its limitations
We all want to be paid more for our time and labour, but there is a limit. Eventually, the service you provide or the product you create reaches a price that people aren't willing to pay for and would rather live without or move to the competition. To me, it's something people don't realise or think about, and we live on the basis that EVERYTHING must go up forever; it's like gravity doesn't exist in the fiat world.
So if the work we do has its limits in terms of earning capacity, how do we keep up with increased prices. Remember, you may be putting up your prices, but so is the next guy or girl, so do you really earn more?
Humans ability for hedonic adjustments means we don't actually realise the value we lose or gain because we're too focused on the numbers we're using to measure things. In other measurement systems like temperature or length, the measuring unit remains the same, but with money, it's different, and we've yet to realise it.
We'll those that have, position themselves on the side of inflation and hold assets and those that don't pay the price for the change in the unit of measurement each year.
Becoming a good capital allocator
Since the monetary system is so broken, we now require EVERYONE to invest. If you're just a labourer and a saver, you're going to end up with nothing due to compound inflation tax and general tax, so you're forced to invest.
That's why we see things like bubbles in stocks, bonds, real estate, crypto and more. People are desperate to put their money anywhere to retain and return value at a future date and be more tax-friendly.
In a situation like this, you're also lining yourself up to get shot. Most of us who work for a living don't have time to research investments, so we stick to index funds, we buy the big names, we look for passive vehicles, and we allow our money to be front-run by institutions.
You may be making a penny or a pound here and there, but you're not going to beat out professional money managers. This game is slanted in their favour.
They know the rules, they know the risk and they are closer to the money printers than you are so if things go belly up, they get a bailout, you don't.
We need a game with rules we all have to follow, a game of value!
The worlds best capital allocators
Look, I am totally biased here, but I think investing in something that has the potential to be the new monetary measuring stick and have the ability not to be debased is a no brainer. The ones allocating to BTC now, securing their position in this finite digital real estate, could be the ones that have the biggest say in the newly shaped economy.
If we move to a Bitcoin standard where things are price and measured against Bitcoin, we will then have a way to measure real value. Bitcoin would then be the risk-free rate, and everything else, investments, goods and services would need to provide some value that beats the value Bitcoin can retain.
Have your say
What do you good people of HIVE think?
So have at it, my Jessies! If you don't have something to comment, "I am a Jessie."
