This is going to be a very short story! It is more an appeal! I believe it is time for the youth on this planet to take control of their own destinies and not allow others to do so. I implore them to question the status quo before it is too late. Sadly, too many elderly folks – including those who set themselves up as our leaders -- have fallen into what I call the "technology void". I am an elderly person myself who feels blessed to have lived through the most important inventions of mankind.
Mass-produced paper, traditional hot metal printing, lithographic printing, digital printing, the Internet, television, the mainframe computer, the personal computer. the World Wide Web, the Internet, software development, the cell phone and the smartphone and much more. It was during this evolution that many clever people developed technical and virtual systems to benefit humankind. Luckily they helped me create four IT companies. I feel blessed, that I can still use and understand the latest technology. It is why I support Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Smart Contract technology. There are, of course, those elders (the establishment) who will defend their own systems and old school methods of doing business. Many of these are designed to control the majority’s lives, the international finances, and the marketplace. A good example of this is gold. Where in the world does the Buyer determine the price of the goods without consulting the Seller? Why do the majority accept this phenomenon? Bitcoin, as a true, free market, peer-to-peer currency allows the currency to find its own value -- unlike the manipulated forex rates. So those in control -- our "leaders" -- will do everything possible to destroy such currency. When a business uses a particular currency for illegal means or a bank is robbed does that currency devalue? The answer is a resounding “no”.
