We have a lot of anger and rage on here. There are times when we see a lot of emotionally charged posts complaining about different things. When I see this, I ask why all the fear?
There is nothing to be afraid of. We entered into a new realm. This is crypto-economics and people are starting to see that. This week, there are over 900K brand-new, never before owned, STEEM being issued out by the blockchain. It is an indication of the abundance that is coming to us all.
We just went through Hard Fork 20 which was successful. Yes, it was a success albeit with some challenges. Of course, now we find there are more obstacles which require attention.
I learned a long time ago that anger and rage is nothing more than a macho way to mask being afraid. When we are fearful, we lash out. The control is an illusion but, in the moment, it makes us feel better. Unfortunately, it creates a host of issues that often cannot be reversed.
The dimension we live in is based upon vibration. Everything has a vibration to it. Intuitively, we all know this. One only needs to be around someone in a fit of rage to know how that feels. There is a physical tension that we feel just being around that. The entire area is "heavier".
This is something we are conditioned for as I often mention. When we operate from a place of scarcity, we are in perpetual fear. No matter what we do, there is never enough.
Crypto-economics is not an arena of scarcity. There is a lot being offered on a daily basis. Most notably, we see msny projects that buy into the opposite of fear. In this realm, we see love-based actions prevailing.
When I say love, I am not talking the kumbaya stuff where people spread cheer and good tidings, whether they mean it or not. Instead, I am referring to the idea of doing something to uplift another or, ideally, humanity as a whole.
One such project that I am fond of is the 1UP initiative being created. This is nothing more than a platform designed to rewards Steemians for doing what they are doing. It simply pays extra tokens to a post. Hence, the author need not do anything different yet will receive a greater payout. The same holds true for curation. Using an inverted system, the largest account votes last to give the smaller accounts a larger payout.
This was tied to the 
Combined, I believe these two organizations are a powerful team. They have the ability to change the focus of many people. This stands in direct contrast to what we are shown under the scarcity model.
There is only one reason to buy into FUD: Because one does not know what is going on.
It is really that simple.
I laugh at the remarks and articles posted by the MSM and the purveryors of FUD. The stuff they are saying is completely outlandish. Why can I take this approach? Because I spent enough time researching what is taking place.
Here is a case in point. We all know what the Wall Street people and their ilk say about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Many take it to heart, even some on here. The reason why it is totally prepostourous is because they soon will not be needed.
Check this out. This is the result of a hackathon that generated an alternative to a good part of Wall Street.
This is just one example of ideas that are being developed out there.
Right here on Steem, we see the same thing. We have 
In other words, when it comes to geeks, Steem is well represented.
For the past 13 months, I saw many get riled up and complain about a lot of different things. They launched attacks on other people while some, got up and left. In my opinion, they are doing nothing more than exercising their right to shoot themselves in the foot. But everyone has a different take on things.
The point here is that a lot of what they were complaining about is no longer an issue. Or even worse, was never an issue, just a misperception on their part. Either way, the outbursts did not solve the problem but it did antagonize people.
Fear-based reactions harm at so many levels. Right now, many are afraid that the new RC system is going to stunt growth. That is incorrect. The RC system is unfolding as planned. There is now a known cost to each activity where that didn't exist before. Also, the sign up process was spread out to the applications and larger individual accounts.
As an aside, I did do my first claimed account which I can do about every 36 hours.
Now we see the challenge of the lack of SP in the accounts created through this mechanism. This is nothing new. The only difference was, before, that Steemit delegated 15SP to each account. Without that, new accounts couldn't do anything.
So that is the next problem to overcome. How do we give newer accounts the ability to interact at a decent level that allows them to grow?
Whatever the solution is, I am sure in a year people will not be lashing out with anger driven posts about it. In other words, it will not be a problem then. It is a repeat of a great deal what I saw over the past 13 months. What is a problem today is not one in 90 days.
It is important for everyone to remember these are very early days. The Age of Abundance is just kicking off. Crypto-economics is still a newborn. All new technologies require a great deal of development and fine tuning. Ask some of the older geeks on here what the early days of the Internet were like. How would you like to have been on here before the web browser was developed?
By eliminating the fear that I am referring to, you will find your experience on here completely different. The attacks levied in a fit of fear do not serve anyone. It makes the poster look bad, is permanently placed on the blockchain, and stirs up more trolling. I am always baffled by those who proclaim to want to see Steem succeed yet write up posts that attack the hell out of it. Do you think someone who reads that stuff is going to drop $100K into this? Not likely.
Providing solutions to legitimate problems is a healthy course of action. However, engaging in emotionally driven tirades serve little purpose. It is one of the quickest ways to sabotage oneself.
Look at this ecosystem in the larger context of things and over a longer time frame. If one does that, I believe much of the fear that people have will diminish. Ultimately, those who got angry and left will end up kicking themselves in the pants.
Fear is a destructive force. We must all do what we can to stamp it out since it is a weapon of the elite.
Of course, their smug lashing out shows they are scared too. Crypto-economics is something they never dealt with before and will end up toppling their power structure.
So, the next time you are ready to fly off the at the keyboard about something on here, before doing that, ask yourself: what am I afraid of?
You will be amazed what you uncover.
