We are moving to a different realm. I touch upon this occasionally when referring to energy and the new era that we are entering. The 3D reality that was prevalent for the last few thousand years is now giving way to the entry of higher realms.
I feel the mistake that people often make when looking at blockchain is to try to equate it to companies. We are reared in a world that believes competition is natural. In fact, we are told things such as nature is "survival of the fittest".
The truth is that cooperation is what is natural. The entire ecosystem called nature is dependent upon all. It is easy to see the inter-connectedness of everything when viewed with this understanding.
Blockchains are networks. Do you feel that networks compete? Does your home network compete with the one at work? Does the one at your local Starbucks compete with the one at McDonalds?
The answer is no. Companies compete with each other, the networks do not. Which one you use is determined by personal preference and availability. In other words, there are times you use the network at home while other times, you log on at Starbucks.
This same mindset needs to be applied to blockchain.
Going one step further, we find the same applies to cryptocurrency. For some reason, people feel competition exists on this level too. Does the USD compete with Euro? Is the JPY vying for usage over the GBP? Once again, we see currencies used depending upon where one is. There are certain environments where the JPY applies while the GBP in others. Most of these are based upon geography.
Blockchain and cryptocurrency are 5D ideas. On occasion I wrote about the move from 3D reality towards 5D. When dealing in the different dimensions, it is important to understand the characteristics of each. The scarcity based world is where we were taught there is not enough is 3D. This environment breeds competition and the mindset of one has to top the other. For one to win, another has to lose.
Cryptocurrency operates on a higher level. It is not scarce but abundant. There are over 1,500 publicly traded currencies and growing. In a decade, it would not be surprising to see there number into the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
Within 5 years, each of us will be "earning" 25-50 currencies each month. There will be an assortment of things we do that will provide us with compensation. This is the benefit of blockchain. Suddenly, we see a shift in the paradigm. The "attention" economy is upon us.
Many seem to want to look at STEEM with 3D eyes. Whether you believe STEEM will be destroyed by something else or the unanimous winner, you are viewing it with a competitive mind. This is not blockchain nor is it cryptocurrency.
Certainly there will be blockchains that have more users than others. Applications designed on some will have interest over others. However, the networks used will be based upon people's preference. Also, like other networks, the same individual will use multiple ones. Cryptocurrencies, unlike Fiat, is not dependent upon where one is physically located. Instead, one simply needs to go from one blockchain to the other to realize this.
In my view, STEEM will be one of the leading blcockchains. The reason for this is the technical abilities of this blockchain. Also, we are seeing development occurring at an unparalleled pace at the moment. Certainly, other blockhcains will follow suit creating options to what is taking place on STEEM. How many people will flock there (or here for that matter) remains to be seen.
Newer blockchains only present more opportunity for each of the 3.4B who are presently online. The same holds true for each new application that appears on the STEEM blockchain. Do you think that Parley.io is competing with D.Tube? Most would say no especially since they are radically different. Fair enough. Let us look at Steemit and Busy.org....are they in competition? Some might say they are but I disagree. I used both at different times. There are pros and cons to each. Some might prefer Steemit exclusively while others opt for Busy. I just happen to be one who jumped back and forth.
The main offspring of the scarcity world is fear. This is a weapon that was used against us. The banksters know this. However, as we ascend in dimension towards 5D, fear disappears.
For this reason, do not fear newer blockchains. They are not going to destroy anything. There will be new applications that appear which provide us with more options. This is abundance. We get to choose what we use and when.'
Here is another way of thinking about it. Do you use instant messaging programs? Which do you use? Do you use more than one? If you are like me, there are a number of ones that are loaded onto your phone. While there are certain ones I prefer, the usage usually depends upon who I am interacting with. There are times I downloaded a particular program since someone I needed to interact with used something I didnt have.
Blockchains are the same way. Right now we are on STEEM. That is the cryptocurrency we use on here. However, many of us, to buy the STEEM, used BTC or ETH. Thus, we were operating on that blockchain. There could be a time where one posts an article on Steemit yet also puts it up on another blockchain. There is no reason to believe we are limited.
When you eliminate the concept of competition, instead implementing the idea of co-operation, you realize how blockchain is a different animal. Ultimately, we are each going to use a multitude of blockchains each day, garnering many different tokens. This is the basis of a tokenized world. Receiving one token for activity on a particular blockchain does not mean that another one suffers. This is not a zero-sum game.
In fact, when you think about it, it is all part of a larger ecosystem....called blockchain.
