Money is a great facilitator. God is a great facilitator – if you believe in one!
And yet many of us profess more faith in money than in God for it apparently is more tangible & less to do with faith. Money grants us such enormous power that often we are blinded enough to betray, loot & even kill.
Money can bless or punish. God can bless & forgive.
History has witnessed a progression from crude crimes in the past to more sophisticated online crimes today – all fuelled by the lure of money.
While a lot of lofty stuff has been said & quoted about money not being as important, we cannot deny the importance of having enough. Well that is the world we have created.
Haven’t we? Like it or not, that is the way the system works.
One way or another, money plays a role in just about every situation we encounter. In fact everything ticks to the tune of money.
And if you stop to consider the basic concept of money, stripped of all the etymological derivation, It is but just a medium of transacting. But coated with layers of legal lingo, ethical concepts & economic theories, it assumes a complex form which can intimidate many.
Making money has never before become such an obsession as it has today. The internet has thrown up so many avenues to make money. Just take a look at the number of Youtube videos on making money online . . . even though a majority of these are scams, the lure of making easy online money has led to a mad rush amongst many.
And yet in all this cacophony & clamour, I believe that the natural sieve of time always separates the wheat from the chaff. As a person who has been following the bitcoin story almost from inception in 2009, I see a lot of hope in the still nascent but fast growing currency concept which can & will cause a paradigm shift.
While physical money may be more tangible than God, I see crypto currency as almost God-like . .
We cannot see it,
We cannot touch it,
But we know it exists for we can feel its power!
