The paradox of liquid prosperity

avatar

Did Bauman hope that not only the concepts of society and modernity, of love and of human life would fit so well into the concept of the "liquid", but also the infamous money? Today more than ever I clearly see a kind of mental bug in some people when we talk about cryptocurrencies and making money by writing on a social network millions of times more useful than facebook. And these people frown and often end up not even wanting to ask about, or sometimes they still question almost indignantly, how can money be made out of nothing !? That same sweaty and painful paper that you think twice about taking out your wallet, counts the notes with suspicion.

Before I get into this suffering of paper notes, I want to take the opportunity to think about the paradox that is Facebook itself! Yesterday, talking to a friend about these crazy times we have been experiencing, I kept thinking about the fact that facebook is nothing more than a Hive for one person, a "mining" system where EVERYONE is working on building content for the owner of the social network make money! How absurd and unfair is that, watching now (up here) ?! But back to the main topic, for those people who used up so much of their time spending energy (and brain) constantly posting to other networks that were earning from their engagement without even offering it minimal rewards, it is almost surreal to understand the reward system that we have here at POB and Hive in general.

Although, this is definitely the easiest way to introduce the topic "cryptocurrencies" to a lay audience on the subject. I remember an indignant friend who was almost offended by the idea of ​​"creating money out of nothing", questioning why BTC is worth so much and why it is a mass maneuver and that it is only speculation for the big ones in power, and so on. But, all these arguments from him could be sidelined the moment he saw the living and pulsating mechanism here at POB, with this incredible appreciation and such a true engagement! Per hour, for these people, unfortunately, this topic remains paradoxical. But for us, no more!

Thanks for your vote! This post was made with the incentive to actively participate in the POB WORD OF THE WEEK created by @calumam. I even congratulate him on his idea, the kind of proactive participation that I hope to see many here, including me, when I have the opportunity to delegate and heal with more quality! Little by little I am making my journey here!

Apenas 5% das pessoas no mundo saberão aproveitar as oportunidades.

Impossível todos fazerem isso. E sempre será assim, para que o mundo continue sendo o mundo que conhecemos.

É meio rude dizer isso, porém é a verdade. A gente sempre vai precisar de alguém para lavar nosso carro, limpar nossa casa, nos atender nos restaurantes e assim adiante...

De fato, de fato. E concordo que precisa ser assim, mas, foda pensar que o cara que está lavando nosso carro poderia estar investindo centavos em moedas pequenas que um dia podem valer muitos dólares, porém, esse acesso está longe do conhecimento dele e do interesse dele

It is a hard concept for some people to accept. Especially those who are long and well indoctrinated into what society deems normal. Fortunately I think enough people worldwide are starting to see the benefits of blockchain and crypto that stopping the movement may be tough.

You are not alone in this sweetie

There are lots of people around us who would rather stay on Facebook and drop meaningful posts for likes, comments, and validation from their peer than come over to the crypto space and build a family that has their interest at heart

You should not blame them, it wasn't everyone destiny to make money from the same angle, that would be so absurd it was

so introducing someone who is skeptical about why Bitcoin should be placed on a high value will be a waste of time. Talk to them no doubt, anyone who is interested should join us, and the rest should be left to pursue their path

Great entry, I wish you luck in the contest

You are right, dear. Sometimes I just get a little euphoric because of the countless possibilities and at the same time indignant to see that it is a slow path, that many do not even imagine exist. But the important thing is that we are here, being part of this revolution.

A few months ago only one person represented an approximate profit of $ 7 to $ 13 per month while remaining as a user watching ads, that outside of whether the user purchases a service or product online, the profits are maximized, in short, it will take time for them to people understand the advantages of web 3.0 and these types of communities have to offer!

Muito boa essa analogia mesmo. Pena queue muitos see recusam a aceitar ou mesmo perceber isso.

Ainda mantenho uma conta no facebook unicamente por conta de um grupo que eu gosto muito mas que se recusa a sair de lá. Estou tentando traze-los para cá, mas tem sido uma dura batalha.

Well said, and very well written as well! The idea and application of money, beyond the trade of necessary things, is one of the most paradoxical topics you could ever talk about... you're right: most people have no clue that the money in their pocket is printed from nothing, backed by nothing. The old platitude, "money doesn't grow on trees", is laughable when you consider how much EASIER it is to create money than planting and nursing a tree then waiting for money to start sprouting! LOL

Sabe o que é mais triste de tudo isso? É ver gente matando para ganhar só likes e comentários, quando precisa de alimentar a sua familia. Ou gente de TI, que devia tirar pelo menos meia hora na vida para entender o que é blockchain, falando coisas que devia saber por causa da profissão, e se recusando a saber mais.

Mas ok, enquanto uns choram, outros fazem post.

Concordo cara, inclusive tenho um grande amigo que se formou recentemente em TI e praticamente não teve instrução nenhuma na faculdade sobre esse universo da block chain

Ah cara, das faculdades eu não esperaria mesmo, mas como disse, a pessoa pode tirar meia hora, o que é nada, e ver o que é. Assistir a palestra do Dan Tapscott por exemplo.

Eu desisti de tentar convencer as pessoas de que o sistema de trabalho formal de 08:00 às 18:00hs. é a única opção de ganhar dinheiro. Mas ao mesmo tempo, fico decepcionado em ver pessoas com bastante potencial deixando de ganhar dinheiro pela perda de oportunidades.

Spot on. The irony is lost on people who ask how money can be created out of thin air when they're using fiat currency that is exactly that. Money printer go brrrrr! Great post.

Man, to post on #liberty I just have to use the hashtag or is it necessary to post by the ecency or peakd community directly in the group? I have given preference to post here for the valuation of POB, but I would love to use this #

To post to the community I think you need to do so by listing #liberty first in your tags or going to the community and clicking create a post. If #liberty is all you can do, that's a-ok. The more liberty posts on HIVE, the better!

Money is in itself a paradox... some kind of necessary evil.

This statement gave me a lot to think about:

In fact that facebook is nothing more than a Hive for one person, a "mining" system where EVERYONE is working on building content for the owner of the social network make money!

I love the decentralized system and sweat equity as long as it is not the sweat off somebody else's back.

So it is! I was a little shocked to realize this concept of facebook as a great miner full of volunteers working for the great man behind the networks hahah. Sad and absurd!

That one stuff always make me laugh, that one stuff about how crypto currencies are money created from nothing. Lol. It's always great to point out that the paper money in their hands too we're made out of nothing too 😂

Exactly! And the false impression of the security that people have in this printed paper while they are frightened by the idea of ​​believing in a virtual currency. It's complicated, but many still need simplified logic, tactile money, and long standing ...
