Last night, I was looking at the price of HIVE on the markets, but couldn't quite get a round 0.3000 price for the picture, but I think this one looks okay. 30c seems undervalued to me for HIVE, but it is fine for now. Though honestly, I wouldn't mind it sitting up around the dollar mark instead at this point. With so much happening in the world currently, it would be nicer to have a longer way to fall before, and a shorter way to climb after the crashing economy.
But markets don't care about what I think.
Talking with a colleague this morning over a cup of coffee, she mentioned how it just seems like it is one thing after another. Covid, Ukraine, inflation, interest rates, and now, Israel and Palestine. It really does feel like one step forward, two steps back in the world today, and there looks like there is more to come. Further pain caused through the building bust in China, growing tensions in Serbia and Kosovo...
I see it as a symptom of the economy today, where there are so many disparities that have been built through the various monopolization activities of governments and corporations, that ultimately leads to polarization. Rather than conversation and collaboration to build, the focus becomes to destroy, with every topic an "us versus them" point of contention. It doesn't matter what the argument is about, the media will use it to generate clicks, the corporations to sell more products, the governments to take more control.
We are just pawns.
Cannon fodder in the system. And the reason is that we have continually given up our rights of agency to proxies, who use our power to create more power for themselves, just like a bank uses our deposits of wealth, to generate more wealth for themselves, and their shareholders. When we give up control of our resources, it really only leads in one direction. And, our decision-making ability is a resource.
Essentially, we are pooling our resources together, but putting them in the hands of people who are power-hungry, but don't have our wellbeing in their thirst. So, their insatiable appetite will eventually hurt the very people who enable it. It is like having a drug addict living under our own roof and expecting them to pay rent, and feed their addiction - eventually, the addiction wins out, and they start stealing from under the roof that protects them.
Is that a good visualization?
Yet, what keeps the game going is that rather than deal with the addict stealing from us, we are fighting with our neighbors over the fence about an overhanging branch and who is going to clean up the Autumn leaves that land in our yard. It is argumentative busywork, that occupies our attention, whilst the real damage is being done behind our back, in our own homes. And, this is happening globally and in every company, across international borders, across demographics and classes.
We are occupied.
Glued to the medias as if "staying informed" with what is happening out of reach, is going to keep it from getting to us. Yet, the elements that are affecting us daily, harming us daily, we leave in place, getting hurt continuously, as if the painful normal we know, is the only way it can be.
It is the same lie as "the economy has to crash"
No it doesn't. It only crashes through massive mismanagement that creates imbalances. If there was more direct trade, rather than trading on debt and all of the money-making mechanisms employed to extract value from the masses, the economy would be far more stable. The "crash" would come through the changeovers of industries failing and being replaced by new industries, but not the entire economy falling and rising in waves. Crashes are not part of the natural laws of economics, they are when the natural laws are being manipulated. It is like what happens when you fill the ground, air and waterways with pollution - the natural environment responds.
Yet hear we all are, trapped in a broken system, busywork fighting with the neighbors, whilst the people who keep the system broken, continue their unrelenting quest for power over who controls our resources.
Good game.
