The only real value in this world is life and we as humans have the most of it. Anything that we choose to grant value to will have value. Be it Gold, silver, coins or fiat.
If humans were to decide one day that gold holds no meaning for them, then even gold (the mightiest standard of money) will fall down too. We have given power to our governments which in turn allows them to create and protect fiat as the 'money' of the world.
Today it is illegal to use gold as a legal tender for payments. It happened almost a century ago and make no mistake, any form of money that the government cannot control, it will see it as its enemy.
Crypto is a borderless form of money (not completely unlike gold) and its value too comes from the the fact that you and I choose to grant it that value. It holds a hint of threat to the establishment and it empowers those who are willing to adopt it. This is a worrisome fact for all the governments and militaries of the world.
This is a new form of revolution. A silent non violent revolution which allows people to take back the power that belongs to them. Crypto can surely make us rich but it cannot be the reason that we should adopt it for. Crypto is basically a history in the making, and it would serve us well if we choose to be a part of this history for the right reasons.
