One of my favourite books is "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell
...explains and analyses the "tipping point", that magic moment when ideas trends and social behavior cross a threshold, tip and spread like wildfire. Taking a look behind the surface of many familiar occurrences in our everyday world, Gladwell explains the fascinating social dynamics that cause rapid change.
In the book he identifies 3 types of people that are necessary to spread an idea.
Connectors, Maverns and Salesmen.
Connectors are the people that seemingly know everyone. They're likeable and love to spread the next best thing. These are the guys that "take the ball and run with it."
Maverns are the bargain hunters. They love to find a bargain or some helpful technology and then tell the people that they already know about it. They're considerate friends who want everyone they know to benefit.
Salesmen are the explainers. They're charismatic and understand how to relate to people and persuade them why such an idea is cool and they should want to be a part of it.
I would like to do my part as a Mavern and present the information about BitShares and crypto in a clear and readable manner.
The next stage is for connectors - business guru's, big journo's and the "cool" guy of your friends who is the centre of attention at parties.
This led me to thinking about the idea of freedom from control.
People need to understand an idea to truly internalize it and become part of the idea itself.
Humans will never naturally understand the "need" to be controlled and subjugated and so that idea must be imposed by force.
In a world where everyone is accustomed to force and asking for permission - how can humanity be encouraged to search for themselves?
With money and profit! The system that amalgamates the needs and desires of a population into what is known as an economy.
The beauty of free market competition and voluntary trade is that everybody wins. If you volunteerd in the trade, you have gained something that you desire in return for something you already have. Whether that be time, labour, goods or favours.
Sound money efficiently manages an economy to produce and allocate goods where needed.
Control over people and economy is an inefficiency. Sound money and a level playing field of competition would circumvent and remove these inefficient gatekeepers.
With this knowledge, those in power have opted to destroy sound money and bury the truth in confusing terminology and complicated charts.
This buried truth prevents the people from noticing that they are being stolen from via inflation and taxation.
SOUND MONEY IS BACK.
And this time we have the internet of un-censorable information and a permanent record of existence.
These governments stand atop the world, enjoying one last view.
