I had a banging article to write this morning, usually I start my writings by thinking about the point of the article, then the body follows, sometimes I鈥檓 lucky and I find ongoing happenings to add that even makes it more interesting, sometimes I start with a topic, other times I don鈥檛 have a topic till I鈥檓 done writing.
However today was one of those days that I started writing with the topic first, I was just scrolling through Twitter when the topic popped into my head, it was simple, short, precise yet heavy, deep and very meaningful. I liked it, opened my notepad and in that same second, I lost it.
I tried repeating everything I did in the last minute that led me to that point, hoping that one of my reverse actions will trigger the thought back into my head, after spending several minutes in a mental battle with myself with zero progress, I gave up, with the hope that maybe it鈥檒l come back if I don鈥檛 stress.
Well it never did, these brains really do act up sometimes but who can blame it? With everything that鈥檚 happening around, news of scores of people dying keep taking the highlights of the day, the amount of people that have died in Nigeria due to terrorist attacks have become more than the deaths caused by COVID19 and the government鈥檚 priority is shutting down Twitter because it makes them look bad to the rest of the world.
I鈥檝e spent most of my 20鈥檚 struggling to provide basic amenities for myself in a country ridden with the worst and most corrupt leadership in the world, yet the little people have been able to squeeze out for themselves, the little ways people have been able to carve out for survival, the government is doing everything to take it away.
As much as I try to mentally position my thoughts above these happenings, sometimes it gets really overwhelming, why won鈥檛 the brains act up really? I鈥檓 trying my best to do everything I can to transcend above these horrendous situations, tapping into every legitimate opportunity out there within my capability....
Entering the world of cryptocurrency has been my highest source of hope, I can relate with the decentralization dream because I live in the rotten space of a failed centralized society, through decentralization of the financial system, blockchains like Bitcoin, Hive, Ethereum have changed peoples lives for good.
They鈥檝e provided sources of income for thousands of people especially in Nigeria where the government have failed woefully to do, in Venezuela and other failed economies, but what did the Nigerian government do, ban crypto!
Seeing news from Miami embracing crypto gives me joy, with the latest news which I got to find out on Twitter today about the President of El Salvador passing a bill to begin accepting Bitcoin as legal tender, whereas the over 70 year old politicians in Nigeria are still battling with themselves over open grazing and banning Twitter, makes me feel in the wrong place.
Till now I鈥檓 not sure what title I want to give this post, maybe it鈥檒l be my first post with no title, I鈥檓 not in the best head space right now, I want to take a break from all of this, but where will I go? If I keep mopping, I鈥檓 only passing up on the opportunity to improve my chances of getting out of this situation as fast as possible.
I hope you鈥檙e doing much better than I am wherever you are. Thanks for reading
