Vincent Van Gogh was suffer through his life, people refused to accept his art work when he was still alive. People in his era thought that he was insane, jailed him in psychiatric hospital for being different. Years after he passed away, people began to understand what he was trying to say from his art work. People became so passionate about his art work and willing to spend millions of dollars just to have a piece of his art work, but only after he was gone. The same story happened to a lot of other geniuses, new inventions and discoveries including blockchain, which certainly thought us that: from time to time, people are remain the same: afraid of changes and something new.
Though people are complaining and criticizing a lot of things, asking for help, and desperately looking for something new to change their life, but I must say, that is the best and the only thing most people can do. They just love doing it, they don’t care about all the hard work and processes, they just ask for more and more. They don’t even try to understand, they are too selfish and ego to be able to do it. What they think is just about themselves, taking advantage from others, sitting on their butts with their sharp mouth and pointing their fingers to others and thought they are the genius one. Creating hyperbolic drama and euphoria of the crowds are their interests. Well, too bad, perhaps it is true that this world is not meant to be for those leaders, only for the followers. Not all people are born to become the leader, most people are only the crowds of followers. Not all people dare to face the truth and reality that the future is in front of their face, none could ever stop the existence of blockchain technology.
Just look what happen to Steem platform when the price of Steem is falling, what are they doing? They complain, criticize, blame on the whales and 
I respect if they admit that they don’t understand and willing to learn, not only words of saying but really mean it. We all still learning anyway, blockchain technology is not something new but, it is developing and there are so many new things we need to learn. At the moment, no one knew what will come out next in the future, anything could happened. Though in the worst nightmare, blockchain technology can not be stopped just like that. It will continue to grow and develop, unless this world find something new and much better in the future. Is it that difficult to admit and to learn? Well, it is if those ego are still as high as the mountain and as big as the ocean. As I used to say, a donkey will still a donkey, though they thought they are a horse. They choose to stay in the darkness because they are too afraid of the sun out there. It is their choice.
I know I am being sarcastic this time, but hello! If they don’t care about the future, then I do. If they are too afraid of changes and unable to accept something new, I don’t. I am a mom of four children and I love them so much. I do not want to see them to have the same experience as I do, I want them to have a better life and future. I don’t want them to live in such manipulative and corrupt situation and conditions just like what we have today. I do not accept to see them treated as living objects by those greedy and ignorant tyrants, they are not robots. I want them to have their freedom, justice, and independence, it is their rights and it is my obligation to do the best I can do today. I don’t want to be the same as those people who were too late to understand about Van Gogh’s art work, it was a mistake and we should learn from the mistakes. We should create a new history, continue the history!
Well, they might not like me, but none could stop the future. It will take times to understand and implement blockchain technology to solve lots of problems that we face today, but the bright future is coming sooner than most people can imagine. It is madness and insanity that change this world, not the crowds!
