"We Are The World, We Are The blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...You Get My Point

I need more time for Steem.it!

I've been waiting to post my content here until after I finished my Intro and posted it, but with what has happened this week in the crypto world, I wanted to help get some correct facts and information out. So, my intro will just have to wait. The more mainstream that blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies become the more inaccuracies are posted, leading to more people reading false, inaccurate information. For years, most of the people that were using cryptocurrencies were extremely knowledgeable about them. There were just a handful of coins, not even close to becoming a part of the mainstream. It's not an easy field to play in, especially without learning how it works first, which can be very complex. It seems like overnight, the entire crypto world became a part of the mainstream and every news organization, platform, and forum was reporting crypto prices daily, with their volatile ups and downs being the very top news story. Everything that is reported, is not always accurate and a big piece of the story is almost entirely left out. Every time the crypto market's prices have crashed, the stability of the crypto market holds strong and it always evens itself back out, usually on a high note. Volatility in cryptocurrency markets cannot be compared to and shouldn't be reported like typical stock market volatilities because the stability of cryptocurrencies is not based on rich corporations or corrupt governments, instead the stability is based on us; average, everyday working people and what we make it to be.

Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Technologies are now global, too big, help too many people, and have time and time again always bounced backed quickly, to be permanently affected by what has happened the past couple of weeks. China, will eventually come back on board, simply for the money if nothing else. The cryptocurrency market goes through these major highs and lows every so often, but if you'll notice, it always seems to rebound even higher than before. A big contributing factor for this, I believe, is because that not one, single company, government, or entity owns or regulates it. The people do (Cue in a picture of hippies, bellbottoms and all, with smoke all around them, power to the people type sh*t ). We, willingly or not, control the cryptocurrency market thus making it a hundred times stronger, and more powerful than anything we've ever seen before. I intentionally mean to overstate this. We, as the new global economy, determine whether this will fail, which returns us back to individualized, government controlled, the little man will never succeed economies, or whether this will succeed, allowing us to continue to do better, to keep helping each other, and to, both directly and indirectly, help the little man, globally. The possibilities are limitless. There's no telling just how far we can take this new global economy, simply by choosing to succeed.

I believe, we are close to becoming a global, unified economy, stronger than anything ever seen before. If we continue in this direction, our children just might have a chance of living prosperously together, whatever race, religion, country, or family they might have come from. My generation, Generation X, was the first generation in America, maybe globally, that did not prosper more or do better than their parents, the generation before us. Until recently, I believed our children were destined for that same future or even worse (Cue in one of those tv commercials showing dirty kids, that sadass music playing in the background with actors asking you for donations. I just want to smack the hell out of them and make them wipe the kid's hands and face off).

My point being, is that this has just begun (Cue music, that old song that I only know a few words to, "...we've only just begun") and we have only caught a glimpse of what's possible. We can, and will, rise above whatever loses happened in the last week or so. This is that strong. One can lose thousands in a week, and then turnaround the next week, using only pennies, and be back in the game again. Nothing has ever given the common people, the average working person, that much power and ability. It's up to us to determine where we go from here.

With all that being said, I was sent a chart for upcoming crypto events... from some man or woman...using an alias...from I don't know where...sometime last week...that I didn't check or validate the stated dates on...but, looks fairly legitimate to me...so, I wanted to share it with you below. ( Yes, I'm being a smart-ass people, chill, quit being so damned dramatic and intense, just laugh a little.) Don't you just love the anonymity of the blockchain :)

If you haven't already heard, Disney (yeah the Mickey Mouse Disney), has finally started advertising it's upcoming ICO, named Dragonchain; their version of what I like to call the Mickey Mouse ClubChain. Yes, it's a child-like version of the real blockchain, but that doesn't mean it's a bad investment. I hate the entire idea of it. The blockchain is not meant to be easy. That's how we've kept most of the stupid people out. But, remember earlier when I was mentioning how everything was going mainstream? In order to stay in the mainstream, it must become easier, simpler, for the average person to use. And guess who is handing it to them on a silver platter with mouse ears? Disney, in the form called the Dragonchain. I sht you not. Of course, Disney Inc. (Corp., LLC, idk?, whatever it is), is all hands off, just in case anything goes south. They can slap disclaimers everywhere they want, it's not going to convince anyone it's not them. So, it's a fair assessment to say, this ICO is a good one to get in on. Just because I don't like it, doesn't mean everyone won't. It has the Disney name next to it, and I'm betting that this is exactly what the mainstream needs to understand the blockchain :) I AM NOT GIVING ANY INVESTMENT ADVICE THESE ARE ONLY MY PERSONAL OPINIONS. Isn't it a dmned shame I've gotta slap a disclaimer on my opinions!?! There isn't a link here, if you can't find it, you don't need it.
