It seems a reason for a lot of fellow humans to get on the blockchain technology wagon is to secure their future wealth. To get away from the banking system, some even think. Where this system leads to fast intrensic value loss, over and over again, crashing the real world economy, time after time. And the only way to secure a future with a standard of living that one has gotten used to is by getting more capital now. And make that grow harder than the build in loss of intrensic value. This creates a solid base for greed in a realm of, what is in fact, debt slavery.

According to 'the system' believers this creates competition amongst humans that is close to their nature. It is supposed to move humanity forward in evolution helped by innovation. Where it seems to be the ideal to evolve into a recreation of ourselves into a genesis being, without the need of a biological body. Thus living for ever, or at least longer that our current physical body alows us too. Currently this means that the more you 'have' in capital power, the better the chance of adapting to new technology that will add length to ones life. Not only in years, but also in regeneration of cells. To beat the grim reaper, so to speak.
Fellow humans who oppose this view of reality suggest that this will lead to a path of self-descruction. Where in the end the species that benefit from this is all that are left behind on planet earth. That is, if there is still a planet to live on for the plants and animals that are left behind. So there is a view that states that 'by design', so to write, humans are able to cooperate with each other. And that one possible way of evolution is to make use of that, with that thing called our brain. For otherwise why would we need one if we would choose to live just like brainless competitors, where everybody will try to dominate and in the end destroy each other?
That could be considered a waste of capacity of the human brain. Or, to put it in other words, to hold on to competition as the main human thrive, is just plain dumb and shows no evolution at all. Where is the proof? Well, just look at reality right now, where the military complex is making money through war. Investments are made into this system so others can live a certain life of wealth in the future. It is absurd, but inherent to the focus on competition as a 'real and only' way of life for humanity to lead. And there is more, another industry making money out off keeping humans ill. Because when they heal, there is no profit on investments, so those who want to live in the future in wealth, need others to get sick and stay ill.
Weird or what? Even polution of our enviroment is bound to investements and to make profits of that. The way we treat animals, not just for food that might get scarce, but to create constant abundance. In the end, something that will keep us buying and buying. More and more and more. Even though some came to understand that petrol fuelled cars have bad emmisions for nature and thus humans, we still compete to get more of that. And off course there are investments made in multi-national companies that have ties to the banking system and the governments. All hailing for more competition, more private investments and it seems they have a flaw in the working of their brains.
It seems only one justified conclusion can be made. Humanity, for the part where it seems to be dominated by certain powers that be, is in the hands of addicts. The patterns fit that of any addicts. They lie, cheat, steal and even let other fellow human beings die and suffer for their addiction. And it has become a self fullfilling prophecy, that competition is 'the only' real human way to evolve into a 'higher' being. Now, take a step back, look at junkies, look at addicts, any addict type of human. How do they look, are they healthy, what do they do to their enviroment? They would do anything to get the 'kick' and the threshold becomes higher and higher for the next one. So where is that future where they can 'enjoy' the wealth they so called 'competed' for? What if there is no healthy air to breathe anymore in the near future? The addicts believe their own fantasies, because they need the rush...
Cooperation for innovation and evolution
Now 'the System' creates it's own addicts, that even get more in control, driven by their own madness. Not only in the banking system, the connected multi-nationals and governments, but also visible in politics. That is the big theater in the mainstream media, that also plays a major role in this madhouse system. Change will be tough. Because a lot of fellow humans are in debt and are willing to do about anything to get some 'free' time. Lending money for a car, that polutes the enviroment, to get a job that pays for the debt they have bought themselves into. And there are always not enough jobs for everybody to join in. So there you have it, competition on every level. It is a destructive force, but strongly denied when ever possible. Because the fear of ending up at the selfside of life, created that way. Eat or be eaten...
The addiction is stronge in this one, let's make give it some power and control over others. And along came the blockchain, where many saw an opportunity to get out off debt, or to invest to get more out than they have put in. Again competition, allthough it was ment to be done with the current banking system, or short 'the system'. Sadly it was just a hype that covered the sequel. And yet, there is some movement in the human society that shows another use of the grey matter we have to our use. The base lies in cooperation and the innovation that leads also to evolution. Now the dominating competition addicts won't let go easily, and the powers of 'the system' will even start to join in, but they cannot deal with cooperation well. But we could give them the benefit of the doubt and also remember we have to deal with these addicts that will do anything to keep their addiction going...
The Free Open Source community is proof that it is possible to go for cooperation, for the benefit of the one as well as the many. Also volunteers show that stuff can be done without competition. And that it does give a good feeling to do so. The other side being sports for instance, is that when big money gets involved it, than the powers behind that will try and control the outcome. That is part of the addicition to competition of wanting to be in control. It only leads to more and more of the same. Power that can be bought, cannot be trusted with the path of destiny for humanity. Even our beautifull planet might not live to tell the tale in the end.
We are born into this reality called life and are equal valued. We are not equal in an absolute sence, but in value we are alike, and different, unique, at the same time. Without the human community we would be empty, and there would be no human community if we could not be ourselves as individuals. Competition is possible, but it is a tool of destruction, because for one, or more, to 'win', others must lose some or more. That has nothing to do with a smart human race, but with instinct like behaviour, where some are valued more or less than others. This will lead to a reality in where even the last survivor will leave reality by their own hand.
To end this path of the self destruction of humanity by the addiction of competition we need to get the addicts in power to cold turkey. We need to put an end to 'the system' where money is created out off nothing, by debt. And that is even made more worthless by putting interest on it. That did not excist at all, and is just another trick to keep control over humanity, by keeping them in debt to 'the system' Controled by the banks, multi-nationals, governments and the mainsteram media. The addiction is in the growth, the idiotic call for endless economic growth over and over again. That is not healing something, but treating a disease by it's symptoms. Just like is done by big pharma in the real world, that is interconnected with 'the system'.
In the current economy where a government cheers for growth, is either dumb, or done on purpose, the lather being the most justified in my opinion. Low interest rates, means les growth of debt, so governments have less cuts to sell to the public. It is madness to believe that 'they' have repaired the last crash, it is still burning. But that is because 'the system' behind it all has not changed. They just had a bail out, well, many to be honest and still they are being bailed out as we speak. Who is paying for that? Well, have a good look in the mirror then...
We the people
Governments should not ever have to lend money from private instances, who create this out off nothing, through the creation of debt. Raising this even more with interest that never can be paid back. You know why? Because we are the ones who are being robbed that way. This creates a base for the competition addiction of just a few and those who have brown tongues and red heels. They keep 'the system' going. And we cannot trust politicians, as long as they prove to be part of 'the system' by choice. Not supporting the people whom they are supposed to represent. All choices, law making, in favour of 'the system' is further proof that it moves common public wealth to private elite by means of the government. With the propaganda of the mainstream media supporting them. Not that strange if you understand who is paying them.
When we come to understand that we are being ruled by a system of addicts to competition and power, than we might be able to make them to cold turkey. That means to forgive just like we might have forgiven herione junkies and remember what we have forgiven. But be aware that 'the system', like the addicts they are, will not give up so easily, when we, the people, try to get a cooperative system going, it will do just about anything to undo this. Remember history, all the horrors that human beings are capable of. Or just look at the state of reality right now.
But there is hope that we can turn all around for the good of humanity, nature and the planet we live on. The key lies in the acceptance that we are born all equal valued and unique. That a community can only thrive when the individuals that make it up cooperate to innovate and evolve further into the future. As long as we want some kind of fiat valuta to make exchanging goods and services for, until we can find a way to do even without that, it should be in hands of humanity. That means free of debt, free of interest and thereby liberating humanity of debt slavery.
Maybe some kind of technology could be used to help make this a reality soon. With some kind of self purging datachain were we just know what we have in 'purse', because that is all we need to know. In the meanwhile support the free and open source development, without the irony of putting it to use for chaining contracts and patents. The Open Source community have proven that we can innovate and evolve to the benefit of both individual and humanity.
And understand that there are no different human races, because otherwise we could not procreate. We are all part of the one human race, and have the genotype to proof it. We are all born equal valued, now let's start to live like that too.
Wishing peace on earth and all well being.
Have a good day!
