How people have been set free from the shackles of debt slavery and corporate control. Fiat currency and banks no longer own them, they hold no power over them any more. Moving forward, they are self employed and empowered to take on whatever they wish. They are now among the many blockchain emancipated!
The goal for many of us, who have been through at least one full bitcoin cycle (4 years), is to make it so that blockchain technology their main source of income.
If I put $4000 into BTC when I became very interested in it, played successfully during "alt season" 2017, sold at the top, bought a bunch of the good projects at the bottom and held on until now... I would be among the blockchain emancipated.
My "if" scenario is pretty much playing a perfect hand. If any of us play a perfect hand when the bulls are running, you are rich. It is really hard to call the top. It is really hard to play successfully during alt-season. It is hard to even say when it is alt-season. It is easy to grow value in a portfolio by holding onto good projects long term. BTC is a safe bet. It is one of the best performing assets going. It is not going to make you rich overnight, and being rich is not the goal... being free is.
It is easy to make money when everything is going up. I remember talking to people in 2017 about the projects that they were invested in and how they 10x'd their investment. Everyone was in a different project, the outcome was the same. This is because every project that looked half decent went up a lot. It wasn't because we were smart, savvy or anything else. It was because we parked our money in the cryptocurrency market at a time when everything was going up.
This last month, I had one of the best months ever in the world of crypto. This is based on new crypto that I earned, via staking, blogging, curating, farming etc. If I could continue to have months like April 2021 every month moving forward, I could retire and go full blockchain.
I know that there is a lot of hype right now and when the hype dies down, it could be a lot harder to earn. I know that a good month does not make a career. I also know that as bulls take a backseat to bears, it is a lot harder to stay afloat. The last thing anyone would want to do is need to sell their holdings to survive due to premature blockchain emancipation declaration.
The struggle is real, and so is the possibility of full blown blockchain emancipation. As the months go on, we are going to read all kinds of blogs about how Hive has changed peoples circumstances, how LEO is now a full time job and how Proof of Brain afforded someone a fast car. All of these stories will be told (in some similar way) in the coming months.
We are fortunate enough to be involved in a blossoming industry that will ultimately change the way the world operates. It will transact differently, it will communicate differently and it will be governed differently moving forwards. To be this invested and this deep into cryptocurrency at this early stage is a blessing to all that understand what is occurring.
This is not, I put $5000 into coin X that went up 300x and sold for a profit of ____! The casino is old world thinking. I am talking about freedom. In order to be freed, we need to adopt a new mindset. This mindset is free from profit in fiat currency. The mindset is one that recognizes the type of revolution that is taking place in front of our faces. It also recognizes the kind of tyranny that is everywhere we look in the world right now.
Blockchain is not just a tool of the revolution, it IS a revolution. Once we overstand this fact... we have taken step one. We are one step closer to becoming blockchain emancipated.
When Hive inevitably hits $10, and LEO inevitably hits $10, and Proof of Brain hits (I dare not even make a prediction), PAL and Archon get up over $0.50 and those LUV tokens are $1 a piece, blogging and curating is going to be very lucrative. At this point, it is good to do a reality check.
I was blogging on Hive when it was called st**m, and was at $8 per token. We all thought that we finally made it. There was no way I was going to sell any of my tokens. I was earning $25/day off the inflation! What I didn't know was that we were going to ride down hard. It makes sense to take profits because things that go up, do come down. Had I took profits, I could have bought back in at a lower time and I would be an Orca today. You live, you learn.
Studying the market is important, and knowing how to use its fluctuations to your advantage will be a useful skill. It should not be the only skill, just one of many in the toolbox.
The hype will get real when the trending page will have $1000 posts and there will be celebrations about how we are all on the bus to rich-ville. This is not the destination of one who is blockchain emancipated. Stay focused.
That is a lie. Anyone that tells you that is lying. The truth will set you free.
The truth is that we are people that live in scarcity or abundance. Anyone who is betting money in the shitcoin casino trying to roll the wheel into Lambo land is living in scarcity. Switching your mindset to living in abundance is step two in blockchain emancipation.
Once we realize that their is way more than enough and that wealth is literally a few mouse clicks to create, everything changes. No longer will we frivolously bet on some obscure shitcoin or try to swingtrade the market into a better position. We know that if we do our work and keep our forward momentum, that we are in living in abundance.
The best that this blockchain has to offer, there are many, but let's let's take 
A blockchain emancipated individual is a freedom fighter. First, you fight for your own freedom. Once you attain it, you fight for others.
I am somewhere in the abundance mindset. I have recognized long ago that we are witnessing a revolution. I have also recognized that the revolution is not in getting rich off of savvy investing. Fiat is not the end goal here. One thing that I see happening is the very institutions that would have us enslaved are now getting into this space. If there are not enough of us with this emancipated mindset, our revolution will be thwarted. Keep your eyes open and don't be fooled by the scarcity mindset.
I have recognized that in order to be free and full time on the blockchain (s), it is more about reputation than about holdings. Many people with huge bags come stay for a while and then sell into some other scheme. That is fine. I am not here to sell into another scheme. I am here to work on myself and my sense of abundance. I am here to recognize the revolution that is underway and make sure that I am ready to be the freedom fighter that I am in the process of becoming.
Once I have earned my freedom, I will be able to serve as a beacon for those that are still in the struggle. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel... don't worry, it is not a train. I hope to aid a bunch of you in the future, and I am grateful to many of you who light the way for me.
Thank you for reading. I look forward to your comments.
