Influence is the single most important skill you can master in your lifetime. - Tony Robbins (American author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and life coach)
I have no doubt about that, Tony.
It seems that the main challenge in today's economy is not the CREATION of value but the INFLUENCE we have on its maintenance.
Probably that's one of the reasons why people try to find alternative solutions (like cryptocurrencies) to clearly define the value of their property and to protect it accordingly.
If tomorrow my bank told me that they needed my money to settle their debts, would I have any influence on their decision? How much of MINE is really mine?
How much influence do we personally have on our own wealth... I mean: you and me? Shouldn't it be 100%?

Talking about influence on financial security
Now you might ask yourself: why is that surfergirl talking about money and markets if she has no idea about it?
Well actually I'm not talking, I'd like to dialogue. Because I've got uncountable questions 😉
I'm concerned about my financial security in the same manner everybody else might be.
Not even one day passes without being a bank affair discussed in the news.
Step by step I really understand why people set up alternative financial solutions that might protect their private property.
In a presentation sent to Business Insider a couple of weeks ago, Jeremy Liew (first Snapchat investor) and Peter Smith (Blockchain CEO and cofounder) laid out their case for bitcoin exploding to $500,000 by 2030. Source
So if the Bitcoin price (and with it the whole crypto market) is supposed to explode in such manner, why don't more people invest into it?
Volatility, bubbles, price swings... I've heard about that.
The price of a coin can rise and fall quickly, converting it into a risky investment without proper research carried out.
Yet the utility of cryptocurrencies in the context of financial security is evident.
These are the benefits Steem is offering me - as a blogger - on a daily basis:
- An additional income / way to monetize my content
- A future-oriented and protected (!) investment
- An innovative, stable, uncensored and fast way to realize payments
- A gateway into the crypto world in general (first time that I've been in touch with it)
Everybody wants to become an influencer in this blogging world. Now you can become even an 'influencer on your own assets'.
That's why we should all be Steem advocates in the end 🤑🤑🤑
If risks due to price instability were managed and barriers broken, that would help more and more people take advantage of the benefits this exciting new landscape offers.
At the moment, crypto has a lot of catching up to do, but it's getting there at an accelerating and impressive pace.
Today's morning my dad (who's my boss at the same time) came into my office and said:
I turned my head around and stared at him for a little eternity. My conservative dad who's criticizing my crypto activities on a daily basis seriously started to read the news about coins now?
Have you read about this new currency Bitcoin Cash?
That's one small step for mankind, one giant leap for Marly 😆✌️
So let's promote it and get more people into it.
The more participants, the more stability in prices and value.
