Now that we have moved into this age of The Digital Revolution; The Third Industrial Revolution we accept the fact that The Digital Revolution has brought with it digital currency. Digital currency is cryptocurrency.
Digital currency has no direct outer expression.
When someone holds digital currency they essentially hold, at this point of time, a set of keys in their mind. These keys are a set of numbers or letters or a string of seemingly random words.
So, an individual that has cryptocurrency can walk through an airport check counter and declare nothing as one would move, let’s say, to another country. No one would be the wiser.
In 2018 there are some countries, most recently India, that are making the ownership of cryptocurrencies illegal.
Essentially, they are making a thought illegal.
As Steemit international philosophers we can appreciate the term - Thought Police.
Whether cryptocurrencies ultimately free us or damn us to our deepest hell, at this point-in-time we must accept the fact that digital currency completely disrupts and changes everything we have previously held to be dear when it comes to the concept of value, commodities, and shared currency.
We are, ALL of us are, entering a new landscape of the mind. Within this new arena there will be strength and weakness. A new type of mental sickness and mental health. In order to survive in this new reality of mind we will need to become more self-conscious.
Those that can successfully become self-conscious for long periods of time will be the spigots of value; examples of health.
The others of us will become the mind parasites.
