The future will be decentralized!
I believe many of us in the crypto community are fighting for a decentralized future. While we look to increase our wealth in the crypto space I challenge others in the crypto tribe to also think about our impact. Mining cryptos involves a lot of energy. I believe any investments we can make toward our own resiliency will provide future abundance for all.
I believe total abundance can be achieved rapidly as current technology empowers us individually to be producers and not dependent consumers.
I will outline the following technologies and COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) systems that I believe are amazing solutions.
Plug and Play EMP Hardened Solar Power System
This is the best system I have seen on the market that allows individuals to customize and grow their own power system. The company at the following link are amazing to work with and can walk you through a custom solution. I plan to help others locally get set up in the future with these systems. I talked with Bhwana and she hooked me up with a nice $250 discount for referring a friend of mine. If you check them out and are interested in making a purchase mention Greg sent you and it'd help me out for a future endeavor :)

Gassifier For Heat, Energy, and Waste Elimination
Through the use of a wood gasifier, carbon acts as a catalyst much like a catalytic converter, but instead of platinum it uses the hot carbon to help break down plastics into simple gases. This process is the first step in decentralized refining. Shredded plastic may be added in a reactor chamber that is heated by the hot gases emanating from a wood gasifier and thus transformed into a combustible clean fuel. This technology has the potential to help clean up all the waste plastics on the planet! Ben Peterson is the man! and he laid out everything you need to build a system or have it built in his Woodgas Bible 2.

Energy Generator Backup
Duel Fuel or Tri-Fuel power generators can use the gases produced in the gasification process to keep your battery systems topped off during night time. I bought a 7.5 kW Tri-Fuel Honda generator through these fine folks.

Rapid Food Production
Aquaponics systems allow certain plants such as lettuces to rapidly grow for a quick maturity and continuous assembly line production. I am working toward a diy system and there are many ways to build them by piecing things together. For the time and effort that takes, If I had the means, I would gladly invest in one of the turn key systems the guys are building here:

Affordable Shelter
Aircrete is a technology in which a foam lather is generated then mixed with concrete. This lowers the amount of concrete needed and produces an insulating, fire proof, bug proof, lightweight, and easily modified structure. Check out the Little Dragon DIY kit below.

Year Round Greenhouse Food Production
Caterpillar tunnels are a type of low cost and highly mobile greenhouse that can be rapidly deployed and modified for any size property. I like the company below as an option.

Water Purification
Many Places you can find water but it may not be the best to drink. Most of our modern tap water, especially in the USSA is laden with heavy amounts of Chlorine and Fluoride. The best purifier I have found is here:

On an added note, if you take power production into your own hands, an investment in mining equipment could be dual purposed as a heating system for homes/businesses. This would be a passive income source while further decentralizing crypto currencies.
In closing, I believe we can be the leaders for an abundant, thriving, peaceful future. One apple tree doesn't produce one apple tree. One apple tree produces 1000 apple trees.
Peace and Joy
