We have a new word in our world. It can be put in front of about anything and it explains a lot, yet it explains nothing…
I do not claim to understand crypto as a word. Nor as cryptocurrency and nor as anything else to speak of. I just know that it has become big and will, it seems, become bigger. Will it be a bubble? Will it crash and pop? Is it for real or is it a game? Is there an agenda behind it?
I study it and find that I am more confused after trying to figure it out…
But then, I do not claim to be the sharpest tack in the box, I just claim to see what is right and what is wrong. Right now I see more wrong than right with crypto anything…
I am a believer that if you can not eat it, wear it, use it for existence, then what good is it?
A knife is real, a weapon with ammo is real, a bow and arrow is real and your hands are real. These items will gather food and supplies in times of troubles. I think gold and silver have intrinsic value, but you cannot eat them and I would trade all the gold and silver in the world, for a indestructible hunting knife in which to survive with…
The fact that I am able to make a bow and arrow to hunt with, is priceless and “Visa” does not work if there is no power to phone home with. The fact that I can forge and harden a blade on a knife is what will save my life on day. It is not the fact that I have a weapon such as a gun and a thousand rounds of ammo, for once that ammo is gone, you have a club to beat people with and that is that…
There are short term important items and long term important items and knowledge and experience is the long term important thing…
How many people do you know, know how to make a snare to catch a rabbit, make a knife from a lawnmower blade and take PVC pipe and make a long bow to kill game with and for protection? Almost everything to survive is based on fire and basic supplies of the remains of civilization. Even if you do not use such skills, you need the knowledge that it can be done…
When I look at the word crypto:
I see the word crypt and when I think of a crypt, I see death and
an underground room or vault beneath a church, used as a chapel or burial place. Synonyms: tomb, vault, mausoleum, burial chamber, sepulchre, catacomb, ossuary, undercroft; I see death in that word…
I called the tunnels in Nam crypts and that they were. I have hand to hand, meter by meter through a crypt, leaving death behind me as I went. I use to be very brutal and very extreme about life…
People are jumping on the bandwagon called cryptocurrency, I now am seeing and know people who are just plain poor and as in playing the lottery, they are trying to play crypto magic and mine for coins…
I see no good from it all and when your power is gone, so are your magic coins…
A cryptoworld is cool!
But, something tells me that we need to also have enthusiasm for the basics of life. We need to learn how to grow our own food, learn how to live without a cellphone, learn how to make weapons, learn how to make clothes, learn how to collect water and purify that water. Even the ant, who lives in a huge city to speak of, understands that you must take care of yourself/themselves and the city survives. Ants do not ship food in from other countries and such, they forage and store food, food to survive the winters and such. The squirrel stores acorns for the winter and when Old man Winter is dancing outside, he stays put in his home and laughs at the dance…
I love electronics and they make life better, but we need to spend half of our lives and time living with out them. Create a life that utilizes electronics and enjoys what they bring, but we need to set aside such things and teach yourself, (man,child and woman,) how to sew and knit a hat for winter. Are you able to? I can…
We live like life will stay the same!
Maybe it will during your lifetime. But what about your children’s lifetime and their children’s lifetime? What are we teaching our children? That life is a cell phone and life is an electronic existence? Life is a movie? Life is?
Fact is, real life can be hard, hard as crawling through a crypt and killing people hand to hand in combat. Life is so hard that even as you live now, you need to fear what is happening round you. For your life can be taken from you for no reason and no warning that it is about to be snuffed out. You will face fear of a superior one day and you better hope they do not have a gun….for bang bang you are dead…
The video below is about a man (totally innocent man,) who never in his wildest dreams thought that as he is doing his job, he would be murdered and I never in my wildest dreams would think that a jury would acquit the cop/man that killed him in cold blooded murder. Do not watch the video, unless you want to see what happens when a cop/man has no intention of doing anything but killing you. If our society can accept and acquit the man that did this to another man in cold blood. What have we become? It matters not if he was a cop shooting another man. It was and is a man, killing a man and one of the men was crying, pleading and crawling on the ground in confusion… Bang bang you are dead…
Yet an Arizona jury recently failed to return a guilty verdict for the cop responsible for Shaver’s death. Officer Philip Brailsford shot and killed an innocent man who posed no threat, and although he was terminated from his job, Brailsford walked away a free man. This was an absolute abomination of justice, and it speaks to the growing public misperceptions of police use of force that have often gotten lost in political disputes.
The video disturbed me. Deeply disturbed me….disturbed me to the point of worrying about humans in our world we are building these days…
Yes it is a Cryptocrazy World…except my definition of “Crypto” has death in it. I guess that is my issue to deal with and I pray that you never have to deal with such thoughts and or actions…
Maybe it is time to start teaching our kids how to survive an encounter with cops and not how to mine for bitcoins?
