It is fortunate that we are present now, availed opportunities to invest - not speculate - in basal structural components nominal to wealth creation. Money is not wealth. It is merely a service. In it's most basal form, wealth is goodwill, upon which the ability to transact and prosper depends in all fields and aspects of industry.
I am here on Hive today specifically because Hive is a vector for goodwill. While I have often stated my dependence on free speech, that also, like money, is a service dependent on goodwill.
Extant chaotic geosocial conditions clearly will soon effect novel commercial and financial mechanisms informed by decentralized means of production. Evolution of civilization is restoring to humanity our natural decentralized egalitarian social structure, if rational people seize means of production that enable them to optimize their beneficence and ROI on the goodwill derived thereby. A desperate ploy to prevent this is evident, but the temporary transition from no tech to high tech centralization has enabled is defined by physics and has run it's course.
We can observe that in every field of industry decentralization is the bleeding edge of technological advance. Power dependent on centralization is no longer tenable, and no matter what monumental impositions of derangement can possibly be undertaken, the desperate attempt to counter physics is doomed, ultimately, to fail.
Freedom is our natural state, and the technological evolution of civilization has been effected via a temporary centralization of means of production requisite to that transition, and we see now that natural, robust society in and for which humanity evolved is being restored.
Thanks!
Some think it is East vs West, others Left vs Right, Black vs White and all the other nonsense... This is the battle now and will be for the foreseeable future: Centralization versus Decentralization.
The outcome is far from certain in the near term decades, but ultimately, it is going to be either decentralization creates a better world, or centralization kills us all, one way or another.
