For a while there I was getting caught up in the social media shit-storm. I believe having breaks from social media (yes including steemit) is essential for well-being. Everything in moderation. I am returning to STEEM because its fucking awesome but I gave facebook the bird and all that remains is the messaging app on my phone. Remember if you feed the beast that beast will destroy you. The short term dopamine feedback loops are ripping apart our societies.
Dalai Lama said: People were made to be loved, and Things were made to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because Things are being loved and People are being used.
I say we need to regain control and flip that equation back to where it should be.
Giving social media a break has given me a chance to explore more of my passions with further depth.
The past few weeks I've been on a steep learning curve and for the umpteenth time now have jumped back down the rabbit hole. The rabbit hole which is Bitcoin, more specifically open decentralized blockchains. When I see a technology that at its core will revolutionise this world so profoundly its impossible for me to stop learning more about it. Right now I feel like a saturated sponge of new information but my desire to digest more has still not passed.
I plan to share some of my insights in the not too distant future. Stay healthy my friends!
