To us blockchain miners, traders, and investors, we are met with responses such as "Isn't it a scam?" or "Sounds like a Ponzi-scheme" on a daily basis when we try to explain to our friends and loved ones the future potential that blockchain holds to our everyday lives. Its frustrating when you see a gold mine but the others only see dirt.
Its safe to assume that in the coming 3 to 5 to 10 years we will see a massive paradigm shift in how the world views fiat currency, financial freedom, and cryptos amongst other related topics. I like to draw the comparison on how people view Bitcoin and Alt-coins today much like how people of the same mindset viewed companies such as IBM, Apple, and Microsoft back in the early 90's. We've all wondered what if we could time travel to March 12th, 1986 and invest 100k into Microsoft stock the day it went public. Well I have no doubt that people in 2025 will probably be wishing the same thing but to have invested in certain coins today.
Soon the days of the fiat driven banks holding a monopoly along with the government on billions and trillions of dollars worth in liquid paper money will be over. I have no doubt that in a 2025 history class room learning about "The Rise & Fall of Fiat Currency" will be as normal to them as learning about WWI & WWII was to us.
Characters such as Jacob Rothschild and George Sorros - who are already wetting their pants over bitcoin - will have their empires which were built on dishonest and immoral foundational building blocks come crumbling down as people lose trust and patience in fiat currencies and ambush the bitcoin and other blockchain currency markets.
It's truly interesting and awe inspiring to witness people banding together and saying "Screw your dollars, I'll use Bitcoin instead" as a massive middle finger to the unfair, greedy, 1%er and state controlled banks. Then only a few years later to have those same remorseless banks come crawling back with their tails between their legs being forced to adopt blockchain friendly policies. For the first time in history, regular people have the possibility of becoming the settlers instead of reachers through the eyes of the big-wigs and boy do the appetizers to our financially freer taste good!
Final thoughts are to keep on earning your coins and to expect within the next decade to be able to reap the fruits of your labour.
