Somewhere I decided to prefer lasting value over the value associated with a bargain. A quality auto was worth more than cheaper transportation. I still own cooking utensils and appliances I obtained over 40 years ago. Their age represents their enduring value.
I am older now and have less value in lasting value.
Inflation scares me since it heartlessly destroys purchasing power. I see greater value in the transaction functionality of an asset. What is the future value of value?
In history this points clearly to silver. But the millions of people who only know the value of digital wealth will prove silver to be a longer term value than I will ever find beneficial.
Since I have zero trust in fiat currency created by governments and EVIL bankers, I look to crypto currency as the only alternative to being of value in the future.
I have a stash of food. I have a stash of silver. These are my foundational basics of short term value stability. I now have chosen Steem as my horse in the crypto race. I am quite uncomfortable with having all my value riding on a single horse, but my practical options are limited. Spreading my puny resources across the field might result in a winner, but again, the long term value would be gone. I am putting all my eggs in one basket... thereby ignoring ancient wisdom.
Hence, I Steem On.
There are many gambles in life. This seems like a big one, but I'm betting my grandchildren will never know!
Tonight's beauty is an old picture of flowers which withered and died many years ago. This glimpse of yesteryear is their only remaining value. Find value in this value if you can!
