With the advent of this Third Industrial Revolution that we find ourselves in we face another NEW beginning.
We are witnessing the birth of a new, relative, universal, usable currency.
That is the currency of the social internet. It's REAL, it's growing by leaps & bounds, and this emerging new currency is becoming more established and valuable EVERY SINGLE DAY.
With the aggressiveness of pure capitalism throughout the industrialized world each of us has less & less of the traditional currency of rubles, pounds, dollars, pesos, yens and other recognized financial currencies we are quickly valuing another usable currency - the social currencies such as we find in the steemit community.
Whether it be LIKES on Facebook, CIRCLES on Google Plus, FOLLOWERS on Twitter, UPVOTES on Reddit, ASSOCIATES on LinkedIn, real, transferable currency such as found on steemit in STEEM, STEEM POWER, STEEM DOLLARS or ANY NUMBER of other points of value upon other social sites.
This IS the NEW CURRENCY.
And in a world where food, clothing, & shelter are more readily available the NEW SOCIAL CURRENCY is what will emerge as the NEW VALUE.
This NEW CURRENCY is what has captured the attention and curiosity of a new generation.
In my country, America, just 200 years ago we had native American Indians trading their land for horses, trinkets & rifles.
Only later on did the American Indians begin to understand the value of the metaphor - money.
A NEW CURRENCY; the social currency, will transcend the usefulness of traditional dollars and other trading trinkets that are regionally accepted as common value and transfer that into the blockchain.
We are now, as a one-world nation, just beginning to understand the usefulness and value of these new social currencies.
The new social currencies that will value the reputation and good relationships toward people which will be more of a tangible thing.

THE NEW CURRENCY will be derived from social consciousness, social worth, social media bringing us together...not pulling us apart.
THE NEW CURRENCY is already in use and is growing in appreciation and understanding.
