We are about to enter the month of October, so we will take the opportunity to tell you a little horror story.
2019, a terrible and silent monster reappears with a half-open eye, the price of products is rising day by day. The year 2020 begins and they close the whole world, a pandemic limits our lives in such a way that it is necessary to print money to keep us under lock and key but with commodities, the terrible monster opens both eyes. Time goes on and in mid 2020, we are given permission to leave little by little, some doors of the world open again. We are told that it is necessary to print more money in order to start an economic recovery, now the monster starts to move and make its first roars, but few of us listen to them. We reach the end of 2020, financial experts and banks tell us about the non-existence of the monster, they generate confidence and promote optimism by granting loans at a very low rate, they print more and more money; now the media joins in to promote optimism and deny the existence of the monster. We are entering the middle of 2021 and the world is almost back to normal, in some parts they have removed our masks and now we need to print more money to maintain the same flow, the monster is moving through the underworld leaving traces of its trajectory but the authorities are in charge of distracting us so as not to panic. We start 2022 with a war between nations and the whole world prepares for world war; fear, speculation and social instability reign. They print money again to avoid a financial catastrophe, they take off our masks but blindfold us, the monster walks among us but no one hears or sees his steps.
A real horror story, the one we are living today. Some events are missing in the story we have just told, but we want you as readers to fill in the gaps of our economic and social reality.
CEOs of well-known banks have made statements attacking an alternative financial system that is not controlled by them, if we do a little research we can realize how many executives protect their positions in that same alternative system that they criticize so much. How many executives try to control this alternative market in order to look after their own interests?
The real problem is not the CEOS or the financial analysts. The problem is the majority of us who continue to believe everything we are told, and until we change the way we are informed and do our own research and conclusions, we will not be able to grow. If the media says A, it is our duty to investigate that it is really A and create an authentic position, from knowledge.
They are only guilty of deceiving us with false optimism, we are the ones who decide to believe blindly and choose not to listen to the roars of this monster that already lives among us. Let’s use technology to our advantage and not as a tool to limit our vision, let’s not fall into bad practices where communication and digital media become technological echo chambers that simply repeat our thinking. It has become so easy to find something that makes us right even if we are completely wrong and we generate an echo that does not give room for critical thinking.
The cryptocurrency market is an alternative system where the power is with the user, decentralization is key. Probably this market does not have the best reputation, volatility and misuses that end up in illegal markets; but they really do more good than harm, it is worth to take a dive and investigate well before making decisions and decisive positions. The agenda of those who control the financial world goes beyond spreading rumors and badmouthing the cryptocurrency market. It is always necessary to look beyond.
