We can not be fooled into war, political lies, and corruption anymore. Social media and the internet, at the speed of light, has helped unite the global community in awareness. How much the community has changed since 911, the Iraq wars, Afganistan, Isis and more. Today, the global community is quick to spot fake media, distorted facts/statistics and staged events. The power and grip that the "man behind the curtain" once had is fading.
We have hundreds of thousands of bloggers, You Tubers, Steemians and other social media contributors that dwarf the old establishment's outlets. The paradigm has shifted and it will be impossible for the elite (or powers to be) to put the genie back into the bottle.
The world is fully aware of the fact that 90+ % of the world's wealth is held by less than 100 people. In fact just eight individuals own over 50% of the world's wealth. Here they are; Bill Gates, Inditex founder Amancio Ortega, veteran investor Warren Buffett, Mexico's Carlos Slim, Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle's Larry Ellison and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. Do you think this is right? If the world is hurting financially and struggling from day to day, would you want to be one of these guys walking around?
The global citizens are demanding real change that is fair and equitable. If the political and economical system will not provide the needed changes (which they will not), then the community will make an end run around them. This is why we have the invention and explosion in crypto currencies.
The block chain technology is not only going to revolutionize commerce and currency but every aspect of our daily lives. The block chain will effect real estate, automotive, attorneys, accountants, doctors, musicians, grocery stores, retail and The Internet of Things! The block chain is a true global equalizer. This genie can not be put back into the bottle. If we adopt crypto currencies early enough, we stand a chance to break out of being the "working poor". Already, the global wealthy are waking up to the power of crypto currencies. They are starting to pile into it as we speak. Get in before they do. They have unlimited Fiat (paper money) to buy up all available crypto's in order to control the market. Do not let that happen. Do your research and find the best coins/tokens that make sense to you and get them now!
