Why all the pissing contests?
We see this throughout the cryptocurrency world. People are debating which currency will end up as "money". Many are going toe-to-toe trying to prove to the other which blockchain will win. Bitcoin is dead (for the 400th time) yet it keeps going on. What is sad is some people seem upset about that.
On here, we see a major bugaboo with people taking sides. The "war" is in full force with the battle lines drawn. Anger, greed, and hatred are the emotions.
The banksters would be proud.
Their mantra: I win, you lose...there is not enough so I am going to make sure you get none.
Our society is infected with this mindset. For many, recreation is spent watching events where people use war analogies. Win at all costs, defeat your opponent.
Of course, business is the same way. We need to crush the competition...send them to bankruptcy court. Do anything to get the deal. We win, they lose or you are out of a job. Everything is a zero sum game. For every debit there is a credit.
This is banksterism 101.
It is a world of scarcity. What is ironic is the banksters know it is a lie. They are living proof of abundance. Using their fiat, they acquire whatever they want. Business are owned by them. Politicians are bought and paid for. They wield their influence around without exception. Their stranglehold on the money supply enables them to buy their right hand (the government) while using the left to do the talking (the media). Couple this with an educational system they erected to teach obedience and you get a society full of people ready to tear each other apart.
Mine. Mine. Mine.
There is never enough
Greed is Good (Did you think I would omit the Hollywood brainwashing?)
These are ideas that are pounded in our heads.
Please for the love of whatever you believe in, stop; just stop!!!
It is time that people stop thinking that their thinking is correct. It is stuck in 2005. This is an entirely different world. There are alternatives to what you were led to believe. It is right before you.
We are entering the age of abundance. I wrote a couple articles detailing how the banksters are cooked. Blockchain is going to do to them what the Internet did to newspapers and magazines; obliterate them. This is something they have no more power to stop it than the print media world had. Decentralized systems thrive because of innovation, something that is crucial in a rapidly expanding technological world. Centralized systems simply are not be able to keep up.
Yet some still fear the defeated. I guess this is a reflection of what is within them. It is time to stop living with the mindset of fear and realize what is going on. There will be more cryptocurrency available on this planet than all the people can spend. Wall Street will be pumping the market cap into the trillions this year and we still will only be at the tip of the iceberg.
@wwf wrote about Steemit being a microcosm of the macrocosm. As above, so below.
There is nothing to fear because there is no scarcity. We do not get ahead by tearing each other apart. To capitalize on Steemit, one needs to give. It is through the cooperation with others, that we profit. Greed is not good; it is a cancer each of us needs to get rid of. At the same time, attacking those who are greedy means we still have not dealt with our fear.
People yearn for things then they do not know how to handle them. For so long people ached for freedom. Living in the bankster controlled state, freedom is a foreign concept. Enter the blockchain and STEEM: now there is total freedom and people do not like it. Sadly, it seems people want freedom for all as long as others are doing what is acceptable to them. Defy that idea and calls for big brother ring out.
At the same time, there is abundance here. Each week there are millions of dollars being issued but for some, that is not enough. "Enough is never enough". These people are trying to fill a hole with something that will not fill it. That is not what STEEM is all about. STEEM represents all that is possible in the world. Greed, anger, hatred...that is fiat. Compassion, love, freedom...that is STEEM. STEEM has the ability to change the world because it allows all that is good within us to come out.
I started the 1KSP program for one reason: to get as many people to 1,000 SP as possible. When I started it, I was long past that point so I could have kept on trucking (in fact, by helping others, I did). Instead, I realized how life changing $100K is to most people and, since I believe STEEM will be at $100 by year end, it was easy math. I got a greater thrill out of helping the first person to get to that level than I do about adding all the money to my account.
This deal isn't about me...I am set. No, I am not rich, yet. However, my account is over 11,000 which means I will have over $1M in STEEM by the end of the year. Couple that with my other currencies and I will be alright financially.
I write this not to brag but to show how little I, or anyone else, should care about that. STEEM is the land of milk and honey. There is no stopping this. Therefore, adding more SP has nothing to do with my eventual outcome. The reason why I want more SP is to give bigger votes to the people I support on here. That is what it is all about. Cooperation, not competition.
When others win, I win. That is the microcosm which is STEEM. It is also the macrocosm called the world. Fortunately, there are many on here who understand this entire concept and are living it. The world, well that might take a bit longer to catch up.
We are at the forefront of a changing world. Opportunity blessed us with an avenue that most will be joining at a later date. The world will be tokenized, that much we know. When the masses decide to get involved remains to be seen. In the meantime, we have the opportunity to build ourselves and others up so that we have the proper mindset to guide them. There is no you or I, there is just us.
If you would like to succeed on Steemit, rid yourself of the bankster's mindset. Stop thinking about what is in it for you. Instead, focus upon what you can positively bring to the site. Where can you be uplifting? We all have something to give, this is the ideal forum for it. This is a place of total freedom which many crave. With that freedom comes responsibility.
And just remember, the esteemed on here are not the greedy and the selfish. On Steemit, the ones who give the most are the ones who are treasured.
Banksters look to take; Steemians look to give.
